Panic in the Air.
The fluctuations OF the franc have

The downward plunge of the franc
continued today. At 2:30 this after
noon, amidst exciting scenes on the
bourse, the franc reaehed a new low
record when it Sold at 1888 to the

worth 202 cents.
Normally the franc is worth 1880
cents, but it has declined steadily
since the early war days. In 1914

was 1880 cents. while in 1920-21 the

LONDON, July 2o.-Upon the ques-
ton Of interallled debts, the house Of
commons yesterday plunged into
hostile criticism Of the financial I'M
perialism of the United States such
as has been seldom heard. coupled with
equally sharp attacks on Winston
Churchill, chancellor Of the exehequer,
for being bad manager Of British f.
nance to the benefit Of America.
A labor party member. the Rev. c.
Stephen, dramatically exclaimed:
Can't Be Solved.
The franc is going to hell and the
pound is going after it, The French
debt agreement is one more confes-
sion Of the fact that the international
finance problems are insoluble."
Captain Wedgewood Benn, who rails
ed the question, attacked the French
debt agreement and declared that
Churchill should have gotten lower
tariff concessions and some step to-
ward disarmament.
"Mussolini talks Of peace in the
shadow of the sword. The French are
building UP their air force in competi-
ton with the United States"
Lloyd George Wants Cancellation.
Lloyd George openly declared that
the agreement to pay Britain's debt
to the United States was a mistake
which had brought Europe into the
present muddle.
Phillip Snowden, who held Church
ills place in the labor government,
rained statistics on the tory treasurer:
"The chancellor cannot claim that
he made a good bargain with France
or Italy. He has been beaten at every
point. The United States made much
better bargains. In Is years Il will
