PARIS, Sept. 80. U.P)-Pierre La
val, premier of France, in an ex-
elusive survey of world financial
and economic troubles for the
United Press today, declared his
faith in complete recovery. He fur
nished an answer to the problem
which has bothered many econom-
lists as TO why France is apparently
rich and busy. her workers fully
employed and her mills and fac
tories humming, while her neighbors
and America are suffering from
trade depression.
Il have no doubt that world
commerce and industry will
eventually recover from its pres
ent troubles, and, perhaps, be
stronger than ever, but other
countries must first make sacri-
fiees as great as France made
in 1926 and finances must be re-
stored to healthy condition by
a sane compression of expenses
to revenue" Laval said in sum-
marizing his opinion.
Frances present good fortune is
due, in his opinion, only to a care
full balancing of her disbursements
and resources. following sacrifices
made in 1926 when France agreed
voluntarily to stabilize her franc on
a gold basis at one e-fifth of its pre-
viouS value.
In his survey he based the pres
ent French banking, commercial
and industrial strength on the fol-
lowing foundation:
l. France has remained agricU-
tural, despite her tremendous in
dustrial and commercial expansion.
Diversified agriculture never knows
depression.

AS a result of Calvin Coolidge's
pledge Of support. President Hoover
stands forth today as almost Ger

presidential campaign OF 1882.
Murmurs that Coolidge might be
drafted next year apparently have
been thoroughly hushed by his ar

His key statements were:
