Greatly improved.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 25.--The French
government has no intention of sta
biliZing the franc at the present time,
its immediate desire being merely to
maintain 1t around % to the dollar,
Premier Poincare today told the
finance committee of the Chamber of
Deputies.
A great Improvement in the finan-
cial situation of the French govern
ment. SO gloomy six months ago, was
reported by the premier.
Today the French treasury has a
balance of 1900, 900 900 francs In the
Bank of France. against 200. 000,000
at the end of 1926 and about 60,000,0O0
when the Poincare government took
power last July.
Payments Are Cited.
In the meanwhile. the premier said,
the treasury has paid f3,5O0,0 900 to the
Bank of England, f2,000.000 to the
British treasury. $13 500, 900 interest
in the United States. 10000 pesos to
Uruguay and f1,700, 900 to various for
eign countries in interest charges.
The premier explained that the
government was able thus to get out
of its deep financial hole through in
creased tax receipts and loan floated
with the tobacco monopoly as u
guarantee.
Bonds maturing on the LIST of
February to the amount of about
i 400. 100000 francs have been pro-
vided for, the premier said, through
the issue of 10-year treasury bonds to
n corresponding amount.
Bonds Are Healthier.
The improved situation can be
noted. Premier Poincare pointed out,
not only in the easier position of the
treasury, but IN the revalorization of
the franc and the healthier condition
of French bonds.
Holders Of French government
securities, he declared, have profited
1900, 000, 900 francs out of the rise
of French bonds.
