FAGES DEFICT Premier Poincare Urging Re: tention of all Present Taxation Paris, Oct. 20.--The French bua- get is faced with a deficit of 30, 000,000 frames (about $12,000,- 000) to avoid unbalancing the bud- get several unpopular taxes which the finance committee of the Cham- ber of Deputies recently decided to reduce will be maintained. Premier Poincare will go before the committee to insist upon tue taxes remaining as they are, In- dications are he will have a difficult time inducing the committee which voted by a big majority to reduce these taxes to change its decision. Behind the meeting is scented a political fight opening the spring election campaign. Radicals and radical Socialists oppose M. Poin- care's financial policy. They are preparing to appeal to the voters on a lower tax platform and will combat the premier's sinking fund which was instituted last year as a constitutional amendment, The radicals do not oppose ine sinking fund in principle to reduce France's debt, but they hola Mm. Poincare is asking toe much of the present generation of taxpayers who are contributing nearly 2,000,000,- 000 & year to the national govern- ment alone. They propose to re- duce the sinking fund payment by several billion francs a year, Two unpopular taxes which M, Poincare wants retained are the va. on farm products and the sales tax. In the coming parliamentary figHt the strongest opponet will be former Finance Minister Caillaux. He is for greatly reduced taxes in the hope of inspiring national in- dustry into greater productiveness. He maintains the state has become rich at the expense of the pubic which is taxed too high to produce.
