FRANCE'S FINANCIAL NEMISIS,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1902.

ON AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS,

MR. POOLEY. MAKES A FEW REMARKS,

The French budget, estimates last year were" made to balance: with beautiful precision, There was estimated income of 73,554, 254.212 francs, which was to exceed the expenditure by the modest sum of 348,650 francs. · But towards the year, there was no little anxiety as to the financial situation, and great was the enthusiasm |-- of the Chamber when the Finance Minister pronounced a pompous eulogy upon the policy of the Ministry, claiming that the legislature of 1898-1902 would stand before the country, with a surplus of 273,000,000 francs and a notable decrease in the national debt. The Chamber was delighted and voted the ingenious orator the only compliment*it can bestow, the placarding of his speech. Still many acute critics were not satisfied, and it was asserted, In authoritative quarters, that so far from showing a surplus, the budget really involved à deficit of 110,000,000 francs. It has fallen to the unfortunate Combes Ministry to reap the whirlwind, where their predecessors sowed the storm, and to be driven to the uppopular course of imposing fresh taxation to meet the enormous defecit now disclosed. Forty millions francs. of the total sum is due to remissions of taxes in connection with the Sugar duties, but if wa

THE P. AND O. COMPANY AND SOUTHAMPTON.

The "Lookout Man" in Fairplay, of Octo ber and, writes: "The P and O. Company are having four steamers built on the Clyde

and at Belfast, which will be too long to enter the locks of the Royal Albert Dock, and the company have been looking round to see whether it would be to their advantage to send the vessels to the Tilbury Docks, Southampton, or some other place. So far, however, it would appear that nothing has been settled. The fact that the company were making inquiries regarding Southamption has led *ome paper to assert that the directors have definitely decided to transfer the sailings from London to Southampton. This, I am'assured, is not correct, and in any event

any decision that might be com to with regard to the large vessels need not affect the whole of the company's boats sailing from London. Should the London and India Docks Company

decide to increase the length of the lock at the- Roval Albert Deck, the large vessels could be admitted into that dock. The company got powers last year to make a new dock parallel with, and connected with, the Royal Albert Dock, and to provide 10,000 feet of new quay accommodation for vessels, with an entrance to

the dock 750 feet long, Soft, wide, and 38f. deep on the cills, and to build a graving dock 750ft in lengil These improvements, how ever, will probably not be commenced while there remains any uncertainty as to what the Government may do with regard to the re- commendations of the Royal Commission, but I understand that the company have already acquired the necessary land for the operations, or securel options over it. The work of rei building the Royal Albert Dock would, no doubt, occupy two or three years."
