IDEA GETS BOOST “Laboulaye Speech Called “Flirtation” to Overcome Debt Feeling. By tfct Associated Press. PARIS, May 28.—The idea that France hopes to borrow more money in the United States was augmented today by the French press in a speech by Andre Lefevre de Laboulaye, Prance's Ambassador to Washington. The Ambassador joined in France'! new drive to overcome ill-feeling ir the United States by making an ad dress at the American Club, which financial authorities described as “t flirtation’' in the hope of borrowing money. • Newspapers said the recently signed "Franco-American commercial treaty might be a prelude to a “friendly” loan of about $1,000, 000,000. Discussed by Financiers. In financial quarters there was talk that Leon Blum, the probably next premier, would seek a long-term 3 per cent loan. Financial experts warned, however, it was “foolish” to believe the problem of France’s unpaid war debts to the United States, the chief obstacle to a loan, could be solved within “several weeks.” Neither Blum nor his associates has made any suggestion that the war debts will be paid. In some financial quarters it was suggested that France might open negotiations to wipe the whole subject off the books. Meanwhile, the Bank of France still is suffering withdrawals from its gold reserve. The bank reported today that during the week ended May 22, with drawals amounted to 56,000,000 francs ($3,715,000). This withdrawal was small compared to previous weeks before the present high discount rates went into effect. The present gold reserve of the bank is 57,459,000,000 francs ($3,811,500, 000). Said one authority : "It is perhaps wise not to have too many illusions on the financial miracle of American assistance—especially Immediate as sistance.” Ambassador de Laboulaye listed a series of events which he called con ducive to Franco-American friend ship. Foremost, he said, was the trade treaty. Others were the French par ticipation in the Texas Centenary cele bration as well as the Harvard Uni versity and Statue of Liberty anni versary ceremonies. Stongly in Limelight. M. O. Mitzakis, writing in the news paper L'Intransigeant, said: "The question of American financial inter vention, in the form of a 15,000,000, 000 franc (about $1,000,000,000) loan with a friendly Interest of 3 per cent is strongly in the limelight. "However alluring this formula would be on a Sentimental and techni cal plane, it is impossible to ignore the etate of mind of the United States' Congress in the hostility it has evi denced since passage of the Johnson law regarding countries 'in default,’ namely those which have interrupted payment of their war debts. • • • "The negotiation of such a loan on a political plane would nevltable raise again the question of war debt pay ments, making the loan conditional on a resumption of payments.” Crowd Prevents Meeting. By wrecking the speaker’s rostrum, burning a streamer above it and de stroying literature which was to be offered for sale, a crowd prevented the holding of a meeting of the Irish So cial Credit Party in Dublin, Irish Free State.
