Subscription books for the new $100, 000,000 8 per cent twenty-five-year loan to France will formally open at 10 o'clock this morning, and it is ex? pected that by noon J. P. Morgan & Co., the subscription managers, will be able to announce that it has been fully subscribed. Bankers who arranged the flotation to help France meet its share of the Anglo-French maturity of $500, 000,000 yesterday said informally that the bonds were selling extremely well. Jean V. Parmentier, special envoy here of the French Minister of Finance, in a statement yesterday revealed the steps the French people are making to help themselves. He sketched the ways Frenchmen are now called upon to pay taxes "heavier than they have, known in many years." "In the second place," M. Parmen? tier declared, "the French people are assisting themselves by their habits of thrift. The thrift of the Frenchman is proverbial. During the first five months of this year the savings de? posits exceeded withdrawals by nearly 300,000,000 francs. "On the failure of Germany to pay France the sums of money due her on reparations account under the treaty I of peace, the French people themselves, in spite of the heavy drains already being made on their private capital, are extending to the government the .credit needed to help restore the devas? tated regions in the battle zone. Dur? ing the first five months of th?3 year such loan3 averaged more than one and a half billion francs a month. "Lastly, the French people are at work. The liberated regions are at present producing sufficient material for their own use and will shortly pro? duce a surplus." -s French Criticize Loan Rate PARIS, Sept. 8.?The French press, commenting on the new loan to be floated by the French government in the United States, comments on the rate of interest to be borne by the $100,000,000 issue, which, with the charges and pre? mium is calculated at 9.42 per cent. This, it is declared, appears very high to the French people, unacquainted with the money situation in the United States. It is not unreasonable, however, the commentators explain, when com? pared with the average income from securities, with the bank rate and with the interest charged for recent loans in Switzerland and Belgium. Two Railroads Show Increase in Earnings Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific and New Orleans & Northwestern Do Better The Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railroad Company for the year ended December 31, 1919, reports net! corporate income of $2,001,466, equiva? lent after preferred dividends, to $62.83 a share earned on the $2,990,000 com? mon stock, as compared with net in? come of $1.918,152, or $60.05 a share in the preceding year. Federal operating account shows net operating income of $519,243, as com? pared with the guaranteed rental of $3,541,039, or a deficit for the govern? ment of *3,021,796. Without the ben? efit of Federal compensation the result of last year's operations would have been a deficit, after charges and taxes, of $1.020,330, compared with surplus to $43.56 a share on the common in 1918. New Orleans & Northeastern Com? pany's annual report for the year end? ed December 31, 1919, shows net cor? porate income of $723,285, equal to $12.05 a share earned on the $6,000,000 capital stock, as compared with $722, 559, or $12.04 a share in the preceding year. Federal operating account shows net operatin-r income of $181,831, as com? pared with the guaranteed rental of $1,204,992, or a loss for the government of $1,023,161. Without the benefit of Federal compensation the actual show? ing for the year would have been a deficit, after taxes and charges, of $299,876, as compared with a surplus of $483,066, or $8.22 a share, in 1918.

Mexican Petroleum Gets 800,000 Acres Of New OU Lands Doheny Says Territory Ac? quired Shows Promise for Development; Drill? ing May Be Delayed E. L. Doheny, president of the Mexi? can Petroleum Company, confirmed yesterday reports that the company has acquired leases on approximately 800,000 acres of oil lands located just north of the Tampico district. The new acreage will more than double present leases, which cover about 600, 000 acres and will bring the total up to. 1,400,000 acres. Mr. Doheny said that the company's policy of obtaining additional oil acreage will be ?explained more fully in the next annual report. The lands leased to the Mexican Petroleum Com? pany were owned by former President Manuel Gonzalez and were leased for a period of forty years from his heirs and assigns. The rights to drill for oil were obtained from the present owners of the land. The new territory, according to Mr. Doheny, shows great oil seepages and adds greatly to the life of the Mexican Petroleum and Pan-American proper? ties. Certain ?reolo?ists, it is stated, estimate that there is more oil under lyine the new leases than under Mexi? can Petroleum's old territory. Drilling operations in the new district under lease, it is under? stood, will not be begun until condi? tions in Mexico have become more set? tled. In this connection much inter? est was shown yesterday in a reported interview with Provisional President de la Huerta, who at a luncheon to foreign newepaper correspondents was reported among other things to have declared that American oil producers are tvying to avoid or reduce payment of taxes, royalties, etc His reported indorsement of a union of the prole? tariat of an international character was also considered of utmost impor? tance, if true. The attitude taken by the Associa? tion of Producers of Petroleum in Mexico was that the provisional Presi? dent had been misquoted. In a state? ment the association said in part: "It is impossible for us to believe that the reported interview is a cor? rect statement of the remarks made by President de la Huert3 or of his attitude. He knows that we have not been trying to evade payment of taxes and that within ? week we have paid taxes in excess of what we should hare paid as the balance of the export taxes for March. April. May and Jane. The oil companies operating in Mexico think that these taxes were nearly doable what they should have been on the basis of law. "Another reason why we are onable to believe that President de la Huerta has been correctly quoted is the state? ment purported to have been made by him regarding government by a union of the proletariat of an international character and the abolition of all frontiers. "With reference to the reported statements relating: to the petroleum situation the oil companms can only reiterate the facts stated, with regard to Federal zones. The opinion that a Federal zone is merely a right of use fay the public is not only the opinion of attorneys of the oil companies, but of the best Mexican attorneys. "President de la Huerta must, of course, realize that these Federal zones are the property of the nation. A recognition of Mexican ownership of her own subsoil would involve recog? nition of ail the conflscatory features of the Constitution of 1917, and the 5 decrees of the late President Carranza,; the effect of which would be to de-? prive American oil companies of pro?-; erties acquired under the law* exist-* ing when acquired."
