FRENCH FINANCES.
FOUR AND A HALF MILLIARDS REQUIRED.
Paris, Feb. 10. The outstanding question in the Chamber is the proposition of the Finance Committee to transform all bearer securities into nominal] securities. Two motions tending towards suppression of this pro- position were defented on Monday) and Tuesday. They were support; ed by the Government, which however did nol make, it n ques- tion of confidence.
Thus the Financial debate was belated, and yesterday M. Briand informed the Deputies that they ought to hasten discussion, and vote the four and a half milliards; required to balance the Budge: within six days, so that the Senate could start the debate on this within a week, otherwine the situation might become grave. At that point the Government would! throw its existence into the balance,

The Figaro urges that since Germany is to have a permanent seat in the League Council, Po-' land should have the same.-- Reater.
