There were indications that If
he can win office he will set up a

virtually assured him Of 102 votes
in the National Assembly. He
needs 3l3 to be confirmed as

Full support Of the party was
offered to M. Reynaud "for the
formation Of q government Of
national union. demanded by the
country and necessary for the
safety Of the franc"
M. Reynaud forced q devalua-
ton Of the franc In 1888, when he
became Finance Minister In O sit-
uation much like she one that
faces France today:
A mounting debt both inside
