NEW YORK, February 25.-Re-
covery continued moderately in
French francs, carrying them back

are bringing out as the main point
back of this Improvement the sup
posed plan of the expert Investigate
ing committee to include provision
for reparations payments in the re-
formed German budget.
What the world outside Of France
recognizes as more important is the
change in the French attitude itself.
Two months ago when the inveStiga-
tors were about TO go into Germany,
the French government was insistent
that such recommendations as they
might make were to have no force
SO far as influencing the French poll
Icy.
Since then the collapse in the franc
interviewed with it's Christening effect
AS it looks now the French authori-
ties are willing To accept the advice
of the commission in return for the
promise to provide for reparations, to
relax its strangle hold upon the Ruhr
