John G. Winant this morning, ans
wered what he characterized as "a

"You. took this occasion yesterday

quiries whether bearing on payments
made to you or by you appear to
create a nervousness and an irrita-
bility on your part that to a guilt

Christmas Present
OF France in Form
OF a Stable Franc

Paris, Dec. 24-(P)-French trade
received an acceptable Christmas
present today In the form Of a stead
led franc. Taking the situation in
hand on Wednesday, the Bank of
France and the French treasury sue
ceeded in two days in putting the
French unit on apparently solid
ground through the simple announce
ment that they were ready either 10
take or sell dollars and pounds to any
amount the spectators wanted to buy
or unload.
The movement was we'll timed.
Premier Poincare is understood to
have made up his mind that the
franc could not go any higher with
out greatly affecting economic condi-
tons. Unemployment, while not yet
serious, threatened to assume alarm
ing proportions from the fact that 1t
has been impossible for several weeks
to do any business for next years
delivery.
Having plenty of dollars and
pounds in hand, the government was
prepared to grapple with spectators
on both sides of the market. TO
steady the franc, however, 1t appears
that little or no outlay of money was
required: the mere announcement
that the bank of France was ready to
satisfy all appetities Of d speculative
nature threw a wet blanket on every
thing but legitimate exchange bust
ness and operations fell to insignifi-
cant proportions.

Speculation Over
Disappearance of
Crown Prince Carol

Paris, Dec. 24.-(Pl-Carol. former
crown prince of Rumania, has been
absent from his home in Neuilly, a
suburb of Paris. for more than thirty
hours. Although lone servant at
his villa said this evening: MY mas
ter may return tonight, diplomatic
circles aver that the prince is on the
way to Bucharest to resume the pre-
negatives of the Hohenzollern dyn-
asty. which he renowned some
months ago. Neighbors of "Mr. Car
aiman"-as he is known in Neuilly-
belive that he has just advanced his
Christmas celebration.
Reports current in Neuilly are that
Carols private secretary boarded the
Simpion Express going in the direc-
ton of Bucharest Thursday night
Others say that Carol left in an au-
tomobile Thursday afternoon in time
to catch the Simpion Express leaving
Paris at $3.50 p. NJ. Thursday. 1t is
also reported that Carol boarded the
express at the first stop after leaving
Paris.
Yet, there are friends of Carol who
say he was seen in Montmartre re-
sorts early this morning, dancing to
syncopated music, but that Madame
Magda Lupescu, who came with him
to France from Rumania and who
has been his constant companion
was not with him. These friends are
certain that the prince has separated
from Nine Lupescu and that she is
now living about mile from his
villa.
King Ferdinand, although he
agreed to the remuneration of Carol,
is now anxious that he come back to
Rumania. One story reaching here is
that when the king made this wish
known, Premier Averesco and the
members of the government refused,
Minister Goga. saying to the king:
Il will have him shot if he returns"
The ailing king is reported to have
replied with a smile: BE careful he
doesn't have - shot,
