France's renewed confidence is de- rvived directly from the result of the recent elections. These are regarded here as having definitely stabilized in- ternal politics, ended all danger of revolutionary agitation for some time to come and brought about a better at- itude by capital and labor toward the immense effort before Franc Louns Iasily Sccured Money is forthcoming for invest- ments in anything that promises sta- ity. While investments in short torm treasury bonds are continuing at ¢ of nearly 2,000,000,000 of a month, there is plenty of money for industrial and commercial cnterprises and long term loans. The 4,000,000,000 franc loan to provide im- mediate resourges for indemnifying { victims of the fnvasion wos over-sub- seribed befere the official opening of the subscriptions. Important banks and industrial companies have lately incr d their capital to an aggre- gate of nearly 500,000,000,000 francs. Tranractions of the Paris bourse which stil] are conflned to cash deals hive excoeded on certain days records of pre-war trading when futures enter- largely into the totals. The up- wurd movement of all industrials which began before the signature of the treuty at V. illes has been un- “ked by successive liquidations. wrded by keen obsarvers a sure sign of economic recov- fo i i Labor Is Better. Bmployers say the labor situation is improved and that the last strikes de- veloped symploms that the workers <hemselves were becoming weary of long continued disturbances of busi- ness, industry and transportation. They see a tendency against frivolous strikes and an indication that only real grievances will induce the wage earners to quit work hereafter. Decentralization of capital and in- dustry is seen in the establishing in Normandy of textile industries to ré- place those in the occupied territory destroyed by the war. This move- ment has been greatly extended by re- velopment of waterpower in the re- gion of the Alps and the center and south of France. Industrlal leaders say that' no particular region of France hereafter will monopolize any industry and declare that this scatter- ing will prove beneficlal and result in a more equitable recovery of .all parts | of the country. Manufacturing Conditions. Powerful financlal groups are at the head of a movement to transfer im- portant industries from the coal re- glon to southeastern France where | waterpower soon will be available. | Other 'groups are being formed to de- velop manufacturing centers near the ! coast so as to reduce the cost of trans- porting raw materials. Industrial leaders say that this activity on the part of capital, supported by the re- covery of labor from what has been characterized as a wave of “laziness”, gives a healthy tone to the situation, Instablility of the exchange value of the franc is regarded as onec of the weakest points in French conditions. It is pointed out that France cannot pay twice over at present high prices for supplies she needs and that is what the present low value of the franc means. The French govern- ment is now studying a complete ren- ovation of her financial policy with a view to making such provisions to meet her obligations as will give greatest stabllity both/at home and | abroad. Money Policy Not Known. Detalls of the new flnancial policy are as yet not disclosed but it is un- derstood that it comprises, firstly, a large interior loan’ to 'take ' up all short term bonds and floating debt; | and secondly, important increases in all taxes to bring the revenues’up to | the annual budget estimated to re- | quire 20,000,000,000 to $25,000,000,000 francs. It is not expected that any ! internal financlal arrangement can ex- | ert more than a moral influence on the value of the frant abroad and this may be said to be the object of the greatest anxiety in official circles. The bullding trades do not show any disposition to undertake import- ant work whilo obliged to pay three times the normal prices for materials. | | The result is that reconstruction work is being held up, although consider- wble progress reported from some sections of the invaded regions. This, progress although encouraging, is not | regarded by ‘business men as sufficient 1 warrant the expectation that | France will be enabled at an early | date to resume exportations on a scale suflicient to materially affect the exchange rates. The French still | are counting on some sort of interna- | tional arragement that will increase the value of the franc. All Ready to Work. “With capital and labor both ready to do their bit,” said Raoul Peret | chairman of the appropriation com- mittee of the chamber of deputies, to the Associated Press, ‘“all that re- | mains to enable us to get firmly on our feet ig for the world to give our money something like an equal show ! in all markets” French observers re- | gard it as extremely important that | France shall be enabled to purchase Taw materials on an equitable baals, | They say this is shown by the fact' that before tiie war three-fifths of her | exporicd goods were mnnuuclured‘ I equilibrinm NEW BRITAIN objects increasc for the lo: and spiri which ant proportion must future to make up ot the market for wines in Amecrica and forme constituted sharc the total 1y the of im- of ue from tourists which was w potent aid wd maintaining the of the franc until the not yet given the expected Indications are seen of an in- foreign visitors early in the but present disposition in official circles seems to he not to wait for its development but to take nreas- ures 1o improve all needs independ- ently of this source of income, Economists and financiers weighed all the elements of the ation admit that IPrance still is most difficult situation but sec cations of greal improvement the end of another year.

Every ounce of it represents strength and endurance; every detail of its construction has been proved right in many years of practical performance. 1t was designed and is manufactured by the largest maker of storage batteries in the world. Put an ‘*Exide’’ Giant’s power behind your starting and lighting system and have done with guesswork.
