And the single gain-stabilizing Of

proposal emanated.
That this parliament died unwept
and that only monarchisst nationaltsts
enter the election campaign with joy

Beast Of Bourgeois Group.
Even the weak group Of bourgeois
democrats. which has everything to
fear and nothing to hope for, boasts
of its opposition to the peace treaty,
which 1t calls a shameless breach
OF faith" still repeating the false as
Sertior that the treaty rests on Ger
many's admission under duresS OF
sole guilt for the war" and regretting
the weaponlessness OF the father
land.
All this explains why the Wilson
flag incident. whose regrettable con-
sequences were kept silent here, was
not even mentioned in the reichstag.
Such is the situation in the Ger
man republic in tho sixth year OF its
existence. Criticism now is too late
and prophecy would be useless. The
election must show clearly whether
the nation has the courageous will
to form a new Germany or whether

within that time II repayment of the

AS lor the experts report, of which
1t can be stated definitely that hopes
or torrents of German gold will not
be realized. The correspondent has
talked with an American private
citizen who was privileged to read
the draft upon which the experts
agreed. and which will be adopted
with only verbal changes This indi-
vidual described it as a bitter pill
for the French to swallow.
Elections Cause Question.
Indeed. the official who showed the

invalidated by the Morgan loan. but
it may be realized II France does not

The largest element of doubt. in
the opinion Of Frances banking and
business leaders, comes from the
elections which are due in May.
Although NJ. Poincare. with his puristi"
mind. is fatty opposed to suspending
the constitutional provision and post
poning elections, 1t is well under
stood that President Millerand and
some members Of the Poincare cabi-
net, chief among whom Is War Min
lister Maginot, are in favor of pro-
roguing the present parliament for
one year, at least. as was done during
the war.
Means Limited DictatOrxAlp.
AS there Is scarcely any likelihood
that tho Senate. which is imbued with
democratic traditions, would pass a
law to this effect, 1t is proposed to
accomplish 1t by executive decree. 1t
would be tantamount to establishment
Of a limited dictatorship. but that.

ments. Is tho only chance of saving
the country from slipping into peri
lous fiscal paths.
II, however, the elections are called
off anti-government forces threaten
to resign in a body from the chamber,
thus necessitating partial election all
over France in the hope of demon
sstrating the countrys attachment to
democratic principles.
The Senate, of course, is not af-
fected as it is elected by indirect vote,
somewhat as the American Senate
used to be.
At all events. it is probable that
the next few weeks will show in
what direction France Is turning and

ment and it's allies seem to have been
buying the francs offered abroad
with the result that there now is a
real shortage of francs in the foreign
exchange markets.
Some Of the beaten spectators are
accepting a loss of 80 per cen. and
already beginning to cover. But the
majority Of them still are holding
off in the hope that the franc again
will fall. Berlin spectators, 1t is
said, were selling francs a few days
ago at 1877 to the pound sterling for
delivery at the end of May. The
pound today is worth only SO francs.
Could Declare Corner.
The French government can, il 1t
desires, declare practically a corner
on francs abroad and instead of al
lowing the spectators to settle on
a margin, force actual deliveries. In
1905, 1t is recalled, Count Witte. the
Russian finance minister. to check
speculation in roubles, shipped car
load of gold to Berlin and bought
all the roubles offered, forcing de-
liveries without extension of time,
and within a few days brought the
rouble above par.
The situation Of the franc today is
more complicated. Yet there is no
doubt of the critical position of the
SPECTATORS. Some observers here be-
lfeve the French government Will not
desire too brusQue recovery OF the
franc because it might hurt French
exports. Big exporters, apparently.
would like to see the franc stabilized
around twenty or twenty-five to the
dollar. However, the downward move
ment has been so swift that II may
continue a little longer by force Of
