FRENCH FINANCIAL
REPORT SUBMITTED
Three Plans Urged to Provide
Lasting Solution of Coun-
try's Problem.


PARIS. July 3.-The experts com
mittee which was charged by the gov
eminent with examination of the
financial situation finds in it's report
that three things are necessary for
a lasting solution.
First iS super equilibrium OF the
budget: second. sterilization Of eX.
change. and third, establishment of a
sinking fund for interior and exterior
debts.
To make the budget safe against
changes in the situation it suggest s
some new indirect tax. For stabiliza-
ton Of the franc it insists that all the
foreign debts must be settled, the
settlements promptly ratified and ar
rangements made for credits or loans
in foreign currency.
For the sinking fund 1t suggests
an organization separate from the
treasury to take charge of the ma
tional defense bonds and gradually re.
tire them through the working of the
fund. which would be supplied in the
first instance by part of the proceeds
OF foreign loan or credit.
The report will probab bly, provide for
period of transition preceding final
sterilization of the franc. in order TO
give time for the new provisions to
have an effect. and to facilitate the
reafjustment of business, especially
export trade, to the changed condi.
tons.
Details of the measures proposed
may undergo some changes before the
report Is given final consideration to-
morrow, although there are good rea.
sons for believing that it will remain
unchanged in it's general lines.
