PARIS, March 1.-(Friday)-R)
The French government gained So
900, 900, 600 for it's war chest by
revaluation of it's gold stocks and
borrowing-steps announced yester-
day in a series of wartime eco
nomic DEGREES.
Thirty billion francs Of the sum
represents a paper profit on re-
valuation Of the gold content of the
franc, and the remaining 100000
900, 900 a temporary loan without
interest from the Bank of France
to the national treasury.
Will Revalue Stocks
The deeree said the Bank of
France would proceed to revalue
its gold stocks ION the basis of a
weight Of gold 1884 milligrams
800 thousandths fine, per franc"
The decree said the bank would
carry out the revaluation lin con-
ditions foreseen by the first ar
ticle" of the tri-power monetary
accord of Sept. 25, 1886 by which
the United States, Great Britain
and France would act together for
the equilibrium of their respective
monetary units.
The thirty billion franc profit
on revaluation is to be used by
Frances exchange sterilization
fund.
Finance Minister Paul Reynaud
in announcing the measure. ex-
planned that "for our domestic pay

the reserve which the treasury has
at the Bank Of france and which
has resulted from the fact that ir
Nov. 1888, the gold stock was re.
valued at a price below its rea
value"
Secret Fund
In addition, what he described
as a Traction of u var chest
of Bank of France gold will be put
aside as a secret fund to finance
purchases from abroad.
"The Bank of France will cede

Attacks Thrown Back

By WADE WERNER

HELSINKI, Feb. 29-R-Forced
back once more on the western edge
of the Karelian isthnus, Finnish
forces today braced themselves in
what they said were stronger posi-
tons, massed artillery and mined
the ice of Viipuri bay in a deter
mined effort to prevent encirclement
of Viipuri, objective of the Russian
invaders.
The Finnish high command re-
ported that the Red army, entering
the fourth month of it's ponderous
offensive, was forced to pay dearly
for every inch of ground gained in
this area while continued assaults
on the eastern side Of the isthmus
were said to have been repulsed with
heavy losses.
Attacks Thrown Back
Elsewhere, the Firms said Rus
sian attacks were thrown back
northeast of Lake Ladoga, in the
