The Parisian newspapers state that M. Briand read to the Senatorial Commission two telegrams with regard to the Banque
of the solidarity of the French State with the great financial establishments, including the Banque, the second asking the French Ambassador in London if the support of high financial circles in London could be counted on to solve the difficulties of the Bank. The second talegram was sent on Jan. 13th, but as the French Ambassador had just taken up his new duties it was impossible for him to give the required 'íaformation. M. Briand indicated the probable constitution of a vast consortium to take over the affairs of the Banque.
