True, there are times when business Is not all that it might be-, when there are many out of employment. Yet, on the whole, this nation has not very much cause for complaint. Witness, for instance, some examples of progress during the past 24 years as compiled by the National City Bank of New York and illustrated above.

The French loan of $10o,oO0,o0o offered in this country at 94 to yield about 7.53 per cent marks the second step in our refinancing of Europe. This loan to France will replace the $100, 100000 cred it extended by J. P. Morgan last spring when the franc was in precarious po- sition. Progress toward economy in ad- ministration is reflected in the figures supplied by Finance Minister Clementel. The ratio between revenues and expen
 ditures Is looking better In 1919 gov ernment income amounted to but 31 per cent of expenditures leaving def icit of 69 per cent. In 1920 the deficit figured to 49 per cent. For the year 1921 revenue covered GA per cent of expendi- lures, leaving a deficit of only 36 per cent. During 1922 revenue totaled 67 per cent of costs with a deficit of 33 per cent. Expenses were cut in 1923 and revenues increased to "A per cent of outgo, leaving a deficit of 26 per cent. It is now estimated that 1924 will show revenues at 90 per cent of expenses with | net deficit of but 10 per cent. For next year income Is expected to exceed outgo and France hopes to finish with an excess of s.O00,000 francs. It begins to look as though French finance, mo- torious for its daring, was winning again and that the French government will present a balance on the right side of the books. The German loan was used to establish a sound currency as the first step in commercial recovery. It Is interesting to note that this new loan to France Is to be held in the Bank of France for the stabilization of the franc. Quotations on French exchange have already strengthened and the new loan may accomplish its, purpose and prove a big factor in the revival of trade in Europe without being actually used at all except as g. reserve.
