By the Associated Press. - PARIS, February 5—The difficul- | ties the government is encountering | in its efforts to balance the extraor- di ¥ budget by new taxes and econ- omies are visibly growing as dis- cussion of the measure proceeds in the chamber of deputies.

' A clear majority of the chamber applauded the argument of MM. Bon- cour and Lefevre, but the friends of the government assert that when the premier has his turn in the debate the old majority will be found again, with few defections. It is understood that M. Polncare will flatly fix responsibility on the chamber for any further depreciation of the franc if It refuses to pass meas- ures proposed. .
