lieved Favorable to Credit Extension.

PARIS, July IA (P}.-Clement Moret,
k,vernor of the Bank of France, came
htne from Basic today and spent the
morning with Pierre Flandin, minister
OF finance, reporting on yesterdays
meeting of the World Bank directors.
There was no official announcement,
but it is understood that NJ. Flandin is
in accord with the bank head respect
ing French participation in the extern
sion of the $780, 00, 900 credit granted
Germany last month and due on Thurs
day. The Bank of France took $25, 000,-
600 Of that loan.
The question of further credits, which
the World Bank encourages individual
governments to extend to Germany, is
not expected to come up for decision at
the cabinet meeting on Friday, but it
probably will be discussed by Premier

alone can work out her own salvation.
that the World Bank has gone as far
as 1t can go, and that it is now up to
Germany to restore confidence at home
by supporting legitimate financial and
economic interests and abroad by max
ing clear its devotion to peace.
