A despatch from New York says:-
Establishmeet of a banking credit of

the Bank of France has been arrange,
ed by an American banking group
headed by J. P. Morgan ,and Co.',
The loan is fully secured' by gold
held in the vaults of the •e3ank°,of
France, which is acting for the French
Government, and will bo used to stab
:Bale French exchange and for such
other purposes, as the French Govern=
nient may determine.
While' details s of the' loan were not
made' public it is understood it will'
not run for more than one year. In
the event that the credit 15 not a
maturity liquidated in other ways,
gold in amount equal to the loan will
be shipped to the Morgan firm in New
York.
The' group is limited to bankers of
New .York and neighboring cities, ap-
plications to sharein the loan largely
exceeding the amount required by the
French Government,
- In connection with this credit the
Governer of the Banlc of France has
hissued a statement which sets forth
the following points
1. Complete measures : are, ,beings
taken to better the financial situation. '
2, The French Government is insist-
ing that, the Senate shall ratify the
nevetax.measure, which meansbalano=
ing the budget,` and shall approve:the
policy of stopping new expenditures.
8• Until the,:fiilahcial situation has
been, greatlybettered, the' Govern-
mlentwill undertake no new bar/ewe-
legs
orrowings whatsoever except for funding
existing floating indebtedness.
4. After such improvement in the
financial' situation has been, shown the
Government will make no new "loan,

ed regions,`withoutbeng assured that
the budget will cover the 'service of
such, new loan.
5. The Bank of France will

tinue to envisage and assist the
situation.

Balfour Celebrates 5O Years
in .House of Commons
.A. despatch from .London says:--
Lordjealfour, who is a, hale veteran of
seventy-six, has recently celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of his entry
into the house of Commons, It was
at a general election in February;
1874, that Arthur James Balfour won
hit 'first seat and began the long par-
liamentary and political career in,
which he was to achieve fame in many
fields.
Of the leaders In British public life
to -day, Ramsay MacDonald, the Prime
Minister, was then eight years old;
Mr. Asquith was twenty-one; Mt.
Lloyd George was eleven; ex -Premier
Baldwin was a lad of seven; Winston'
Churchill was born in the November
following the February of Balfour's'
first election. Around .130 members
of the present House of Commons Iiko-1
wise were unborn.
In 1874: Gladstone was regarded as
a spent force, though he had three
iinore terms to serve as Premier. Lord
Salisbury Was a very unwilling col -1
league of Disraeli.
�u Harcourt had held
no more than minor office and Ran-
dolph Churchill had not yet found Mm-
self. The franchise rs was still confined
to a comparatively smalI minority of
the population. Charles Stewart'Par-i
nedd had not the entered the House
of Commons.
The world upon which Lord Balfour!
/coked in 1874 was, in •fact, as far
13Way in many essentials ..from the
world of to -day as is the world of,
1774.
