For although conceded Premier Sarraut will obtain a majority, there seems persistent uncertainty regarding the monetary outlook. The franc was weak, with sterling at and dollars at 15.05¼. Rentes weakened, but industrial securities remained firm. It is evident that while some hopes are being entertained that France will soon share in the improved industrial and business conditions, the Treasury situation is a dominating factor. Since 1930, according to Senator Abel Gardey, the national debt has increased 70,000,000,000, owing to repeated budgetary deficits, and now stands at about 000,000,000.
It is interesting that a report was current on the Bourse that a 3,000,000,000 franc credit which is being sought in London is not materializing, owing to a divergence of views regarding guarantees.

Five groups, sponsored -by or affiliated with the Illinois Agricultural Association, heard annual financial reports today as a prelude to the two-day meeting of the parent organization and learned their members enjoyed savings of almost $2,000,000 during the last year.

Marchant, manager of the Illinois Farm Supply Company, reported during 1935, 85,000 customers spent about $8,600,000 with. the company's 60 county units, largely for petroleum products and soybean oil paint.
Patronage dividends of more than $804,000 were turned back to members and patrons, an increase of almost $150,000 over 1934. The investment in the company, Marchant said, totaled 381 since its organization seven years ago. Three insurance companies writing automobile, life, fire, crop and windstorm-hail insurance saved policy holders about $1,100,000 during the year, A. E. Richardson, manager, said.

The need for increasing the of the American Legion to combat the "strange isms of today" by fostering such organizations as the Sons of the American Legion was stressed last night by national and state officers of the legion, who addressed some veterans at a soldiers' bonus rally, last night at the Opera House the Municipal Auditorium. Mayor Dickmann lauded the headquarters staff of the legion in their untiring efforts to secure passage of the bonus bill and urged war veterans in St. Louis to join to uphold American ideals in the work of the legion, whichald disabled veterans and their families. F. Whitney Godwin, of Suffolk, national vice commander of the Legion, traced the accomplishments of the Legion and advocated the passage of a law which would prevent a repetition of the last war "wherein 95 per cent of the popu-.
lation profited from the the the the the deaths and blood-letting of the other 5 per cent." He said it is the duty. of the to paint a true picture of Legion the horrors for the youth of the United States, but at the same time to pledge defense to the nation in the event every means for keeping peace fails. The word "bonus" was classed as a misnomer by Earl W. Shackelford, Missouri state commander of the legion, who said the forthcoming payments "are nothing more than back pay that due in 1925." He said the legion had aided 242,000 orphaned children in the past year, and urged a stronger drive for increased membership. Barak T.
Mattingly, chairman of the Legion Conference of Post Commanders, presided at the rally. Music was furnished by the band of the Musicians' Post No. 394 of the legion.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, January Frank Knox, prominently mentioned as a Republican candidate for President, asserted tonight the American people would decide in the November election between "becoming vassals to a dictator in the guise of a Democratic President or remaining free citizens of a free republic." The Chicago publisher, in speech before a McKinley Day dinner of the Cleveland Tippecanoe Club, drew sharp distinction between what termed a "Socialistic New Deal party" and the Democratic party.
He described the Supreme Court as "the one remaining American body in Washington." No Middle Ground. "There is no middle ground. There is no other choice. (We shall continue as a free nation or we shall become a nation with. government in complete control of people's daily lives, their savings, and of their occupations.
"It cannot be otherwise. A coercive system cannot be grafted upon a voluntary system. We saw. that in the NRA. We saw it again in the AAA.
We have seen, too, how the Supreme Court one remaining American in Washington -threw out these acts as constitutional." Knox said the nation is facing something that is not an American form of government. "The American people have not faced so serious a situation since the days of the civil war," he said. "The New Deal administration in Washington has stolen the cloak of t' Democratic party, under which to hide its own Socialistic skeleton. members of the Democratic party- -men such as Alfred E. Smith and John W.
Davis, each on different occasions the presidential nominee of the Democratic partyknow it. Will Make Promises. "As head of the New Deal party, Mr. will make 8 lot of Roosevelt. American people in this year of 1936-just as in 1932, he made a lot of promises to them as head of the Democratic party." He accused the President of having caused to be written into law, wholly or in part, 12 principal planks of the Socialist platform while largely disregarding the pledges of his own party.
"But this year he will make his promises in the name Democratic party," Knox declared. "He recognizes it a good votecatching scheme. Do not be deceived. This is merely a perversion of name--not a conversion in spirit." He assailed New Dealers who, "having stolen the birthright of the Democratic party, are out to take what remains--the heritage of the American people and their right to govern, themselves." 'Bloom' Is Lost. New Dealers know, he said, that if they can discredit the Supreme Court they will bring down "the keystone in the arch of a democratic form of government and, by so doing, 'undermine what cannot be directly to use 8 popular Communist phrase." The publisher asserted the New Deal had lost its "bloom." "The American people, in disillusionment, have become all too familiar with the quintuplets that have been begotten in their midst, the quintuplets of broken promises -wasteful spending of the people's money- high cost of living-unsound money--and the centralization of power in Washington." Knox urged business men to "stop complaining and do thing about it." "This is no sham battle these New Dealers are putting up," he declared.
"The prize they covet American affairs to suit themselves, and this means putting an end to our system of free enterprise and capturing all the wealth it has created for the people. They are out to win. Make, mistake about that." Case' Against Business. The speaker said the President laid the groundwork for case against in his last message to Congress, "on the state of the nation." "His little helpers in the 'brain trust' are doing can to assist him. For theme the crusade against business must be the quite a lark, an adventure into unknown, as it were, judging by the unbalanced sheets of the so-called 1937 7 budget that was submitted to the Congress."
