PLEASED WITH LOAN
France Is Delighted at Transferring of Short Term Note by Morgan Into Long Term Credit.

Paris, Nov. 22.-Conversion of the short-term Morgan loan into & long term credit arouses liveliest satisfaction among all shades of opinion except the communists, who see salvation only in a tax on capital. and those incorrigible scep- tics who say they cannot understand how increasing indebtedness im- proves the country's financial situa- ton.
 Georges Xavier, financial editor of Le Journal sums up the general views as follows:
 The new operation shows not only the undeniable goodwill of our Americap friends toward France but a very genuine improvement in our countrys credit,
 Foreigners. who soc us from the outside and judge us better than we do ourselves, have realized that the French government in all depart ments Is pursuing a really coherent comprehensive policy of financial consolidation and monetary hygiene.
 By taking advantage of the fa- vorsble condition of the New York market and in concluding the Amer ican loan, the French government still: further accentuates that line of policy"
 This policy, if persisted in, NJ. Xavier concludes will in a short time lead us 10 g period of better exchange rates, lower living and re- stored state finances"
