It is felt that for Great Britain and the United States to consent to a reopen- ing of negotiations would be equivalent to admitting that better terms were France's effort !possible and such an outcome naturally would tend 1o make the stronger, thus upsetting the present financial stabilization. The provisional arrangements for | payments on account, it is taken for granted, must be continued. Premier Poincare might seek some modifica- but essentially the present method would be followed. TReports of the reopening of negotiations, it was said, doubtless resulted from talk among deputies, who magnified the premier’s recent statement before the chamber's budget commission that “eventually”” there must be a new dis- cussion of debts. The problem of committing France |to a long series of big payments is even more fully loaded with political | dynamite here than in the nited States. Krance has an election com- ing next vear and it is therefore re- garded in official and political circles friendly to the government as ele- mentary that the less sald about the debts the better for the present. The time will come, it is said, when the| debts must be brought up again, but that time has not come yet and the present moment is described as ‘“the reverse of opportune.” TREASURY WITHOUT NOTICE.
