national Income. n kerden as heavy
as that borne by the British, and
heavier when the relative wealth OF
tho two nations Is considered; and |
the French tax burden Is relatively |
and actually far greater than that
of tho United States, Increased
taxation, 1t Is declared, would great
ly iniuro the economic structure
and would defeat Its own purpose,
The Institute, In holding that not
much is TO he expected from addi-
tional governmental economies,
points out that If the entire mill
tary establishment were abolished
the saving would not cover the
deficit anticipated In the budget of
1926, Something, OF course, could
be gained by economies, and some
thing could be gained by closer at
tenton 10 the present taxation pro-
gram, but the two together would
not bring about the balancing of
the l'ronch budget. The Institute
secs a little hope in the possibility
Of writing down the interest rate on
the domestic debt. but merely as a
possible means Of balancing the
budget.
The Institutes report was placed
in the hands Of the American debt
commission several weeks ago and
resulted in an immediate abandon
mcnt OF the plan TO place the
French refunding upon tho basis of
the British refunding, The Amerl-
can commissioners then pinned
their faith upon tentative plan to
give the French commission ap-
proXimately the same terms as was
accorded Belgium. But even this
failed.
The situation IS stalcmatc.
France is unable to balance her
budget-which means she is unable
to raise enough money 10 pay in
tcrnal bligations-and her capa-
city TO pay during the next few
years at least is practically at the
zero mark unless she is loaned the
money with which TO do the paying.
