GOLD DRAINS
FROM FRANCE
jCAUSEALARM
Rates Are Increased To
Halt Speculation
Of Franc; Balanced
Budget Sought
(Copyright. 1935. by the AP.j
PARIS. May 28—With a govern
ment demand from parliament lor
iu?] power to restore Prance's fi
nances. Louis Germain - Martin,
minister of finance, revealed to the
chamber of deputies Tuesday that
the gold reserves of the Bank of
Tranoe had been diminished by nine
billion francs —about $594,000,000—
la the last two months.
The finance minister told the
legislators that the rhythm of with
drawals was steadily Increasing, the
bank losing three billions between
March 29 and May 17. three billions
more during the week ending May
24. and an additional three billions
in the last three days
His plea to parliment followed by
a few hours an announcement by
tne Bank of Prance that it was
making an increase on its redis
count rate to 6 per cent from 4 per
cent, the bank's third rak»e in the
rate since last Thursday. At that
time the rate was raised from 3 per
cent from 24 per cent, and it was
boosted again to 4 per cent last
Saturday.
Germain-Martin denounced the
devaluation campaign in France
and declared for economies and a
balanced budget as the way to
restore finances. He declared it
“unjustifiable and dangerous to
devalue simply because the treasury
Is temporarily in difficulty.”
Similarly, the loan rate on gold
bars was increased to 7 per cent
from 54 per cent, on securities to
84 per cent from 44 per cent, and
on 30-dav rate to 6 per cent from
4 per cent.
The bank's challenge was issued
Immediately after the full cabinet
appealed unanimously to the coun
try to stand by the franc and after
Pwmier Flandin had taken a strong
aland against devaluation.
A heavy outflow of gold reserves
Is known to have drained more than
three billion francs from the bank’s
80 billion stock In recent weeks
and bankers estimated that on
Thursday the bank of Prance state
ment would reveal more than 500,
000 000 francs in gold had been lost
daily during this last week (The
Piench franc is worth about 6.583
cents.)
Flandin Issued a statement while
the cabinet was in session, shortly
beiore noon, asserting that there
was no peril in the “technical" sit
uation of the franc, but neverthe
less. the Bank of Prance took drastic
technical measures to discourage
speculators. All banks again were
advised by the government to cease
making loans that might be used
for speculation In the franc.

BUI HELD OUT
Author Say* Is Answer To
* Court’s Action In
Killing NRA
WASHINGTON. May 28. <JP>—
Senator Black (D-Ala; held out hia
30-hour week bill to administration
leaden Tuesday as a way out of the
dilemma created by the supreme
court's invalidation ol the National
Recovery Act.
He contended that NRA had been
destroyed beyond hope ol resuscita
tion by the decision, but that his pro
posal was not touched and was now
the only method lor regulating hours
ol work.
There were indications also that
union labor would get behind the
30-hour week bill stronger than ever,
but administration leaders were
hesitant.
Same democratic leaders expressed
the view off-hand that the Black bill
came within the scope of the su
preme court decision in the NRA
case and its former decision in the
child labor case.
Blaek disclosed, however, that he
had been holding up action on his
bill, confident that the NRA decla
im .would be adverse and that it
would clear the way for his measure.
In general, the Black bill would seek
to bar from interstate commerce
goods produced by firms working
their employes more than 30 hours
a week.
