WHY FRENCH FINANCE MOBILES

France, with finances shaky again and the frame
sliding down. is disposed to turn to the old remedy
of another foreign loan. 1t done last year sue
cessfuy; why not now? America, of course, Will
furnish the money. J. P. Morgan Co., the govern
ment thinks, will make difficulty about making II
a new short-timc loan again, floating another BOND
issue in this country. 1t is figured that Sl40OooOOo
more will strengthen and stabilize French currency
and credit again for the present.
The French government again faces a budget SeN-
eral billion francs in of its estimated revenue
be balanced presumably usual by the old process OF
borrowing Meanwhile it simply has to borrow to meet
large maturing obligations. And it already owes
nearly as much as the total estimated wealth OF
France
No wonder French private capital is fleeing
abroad as German capital fled before reparatlon was
readiusted and German finances stabilized.
No wonder the French franc slides down, after
every attempt to prop when France spends every
year more than her income paying vast sums for arm
ament and refusing her citizens her war al
lies have been taxed
No wonder that there comes particularly alarm
ing drop in French credit just after France has given
the world strong impression that she has no lnen-
ton of trying pay her debt to America and England
No creditor wants to continue throwing good money
after bad
I A definite commitment to meeting her foreign OBJ
legations however light the terms proposed and how
ever distant the ultimate settlement would do more to
restore French credit than all this frenzied borrowing
to pay domestic debts.

GOLD STANDARD SAFE

With the Bank Of France holding SI36.OOO,000
gold against S70l000000 ten years ago the Bank of
England S643 100000 against s175000 900 ten years
ago and nearly all the other nations likewise in better
shape and gaining gold right along the gold standard
may be regarded saved.
Not so long ago there genuine fear Of re-
pudation of that standard, leaving Uncle Sam hold
ing a swollen money bag that would hereafter be OF
little him. That very thing might have happen
ed if as seemed possible. this country had drained off
virtually all the worlds gold Now, with America
having Of it but Europe having regained enough
to carry with, the situation Is saved, and the gold
standard will survive at least until other great
world crisis
The nations prefer It, in spite Of its admitted de-
fecs Theorists devise more Scientific measures Of
value, which would remain equal in purchasing power
and exchange value regardless Of economic flurrleS,
but gold has the prestige of long and traditional
merit and the value of extreme simplicity. Any other
system might require international commission to
operate it. As American financial writer observes:
The gold standard doesn't have to be managed
by anybody. The matter of keeping the different cur
rences in close relations with each other is readily
accomplished by making them all redeenabe in gold
That gold is not invariabe standard may be ad-
mted, bu the price changes of the last 10 years
not chargeable to gold'
What is chargeabe to gold is the upsetting of
debts-the disturbance of loan values.
At any rate with England's money near par, and
that country preparing to gold payments, the
situation looks far better for Europe and incidentally
better for the country which holds tWOthrds of the
worlds money metal.

TUbERCULAR CURE
BELIEVED IN SIGHT
Dr.. White Tells Local Asso-
citation of Progress in
Research Work.

A message of hope to the effect
that medical science is almost on

tive method for tuberculosis was the

niZlnS fully the Importance Of that

tion of the great fund raised by the
sale Of Christmas seals had finally
been able to finance this work OF medi-
cal research conducted by the highest
specialists in chemistry. biology and
other fields of medical research. lie
confessed frankly that this research
had revealed to the leaders how much
they did not know about the cure of
tuberculosis, but this was only prelim-
mary to the discovery of more exact
and complete knowledge on this sub
ject.
Praised by School Heads.
DIR. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-
ent of the public schools: Dr.. Walter
r. Patterson, supervisor of special ac-
tivities and Assistant Supt. Garnet G.
