 Firms employing large number of employees will be saved c nSlderable work under the new law for the reason that less information will be required to be furnished than heretofore as to amounts of salaries paid to employees, according to Burns Poe, Collector of Inter nal Revenue.
 \ telegram has just been received by him from the Inter nal Revenue Bureau stating that the Treasury Department has made a decision to the effect hat information returns on Forms 1909 will be required only where pay yments were made of $500. or more to single per sons during 1925,> or where payments of S35OO. or more were made to married persons. Heretofore employers were re. quired to furnish information us to all single persons to whom ey paid S25O0. or more. Com piling these lists for the govern ment meant considerable work.
 The necessary information blanks may be obtained upon application at the Collectors office.
 It is important that these forms be filed, as the Collectors office uses them to check against returns to ascertain whether or not persons who should have filed have actually done so.

BAR-LE-DUC. France, September
21.-France has never repudiated her
foreign debts and proposes to pay
them all according to her capacity
and the possibility of transferring
money abroad. Premier Poincare said
today in addressing the General Coun.
Gil of the Department OF Meuse. of
which he has been a member for 40
years. He added thar he expects rati-
f1cation of the debt settlements would
soon come up in Parliament.
France is inspired by no sentiment
of rancor or hate toward her former
enemies, he asserted, and Is ready to
talk Of closer relations with them, pro
vided this does not involve abandon
ment of the treaties or bring into
question the responsibility for the
World War.
Empha sizing his determination to
force through his economy measures
he said THE fate of the cabinet Is
linked with the fate of the economies
which have been effected by de
crees. If Parliament approves the
protest of the functionaries against
the elimination of useless employees
the cabinet will go down."
He warned his hearers that the
task of renovating French finances
was only partly accomplished. There
remained the task of stabilizing the
franc. which was necessarily a
lengthy. deliberate and prudent affair.
The situation, however. had greatly
improved since Parliament voted the
new taxes and established the sink
ing fund commission. Pessimistic re
ports circulated on the strength Of the
fact that the French government had
been required lately to buy foreign
exchange on account of a deficit in
crops were entirely unjustif1ed, he
added, and if spectators sought to
make profit thereby they risked Sc
rfous consequences.
