FRENCH FINANCE
CHIEF OPTIMISTIC
Sees Possibility of Balancing
Budget if Politics Are Re-
moved From Office.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS. March I'm. Peret. the
new minister Of finance, is optimistic
| over the condition of the French
! treasury and of the belief that if
politics can be withdrawn from the
! financial situation the present per-
plexities can be removed in a most
satisfactory manner.
THE situation Of the treasury is
by no means bad" says the minister
| in a statement to the Petit Parisien.
II have no anxiety about it, even
with the perspective of the treasury
bonds maturing in May"
The minister was convinced that
the country does not lack confidence
In the future. He cited as proof of
| this the fact that on Thursday the
sales of national defense bonds ex-
ceeded repayments by 74O00 900
francs. As to the governments finan-
cial plan. left I'm suspense by the
ministerial crisis, NJ. Peret said he in
tended to ask the Chamber to com.
plete IT. Further resources would
have to lie found to replace the re-
jected payments tax clause of the bill
and to fill other gaps before the
budget could he bsLla anced. He was
! working on this with technical ad-
visers
Il am convinced" he declared.
that If we apply ourselves To a study
OF the financial problem apart from
all political considerations we shall
end by solving it under the most sat
isfactory condition. With that result
attained we shall see uneasiness and
anxiety disappear. 1t would be de.
plorable that we should be judged
abroad. especially by friends, as in
capable of balancing the budget when
we have such great things"
