Special THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRANCS STATUS 1S SHUTTLECOGK FRENCH POETICS Paris Rampant With Rum- ors About Stabilization This Last Week Paris. June 3--St bilization--when and at what rate--still remains, after exactly twenty-two months, the un- answered question in France. Since the French elections in April it has been a political and financial shut- tlecock, buffeted back and forth to suit the designs of whoever at that moment was doing the buffeting. As a result, Paris has been rampant with all sorts of contradictory rumors about stabilization during the past month, and especially this last week. The reports were bruited that Poincare not only planned to delay the return of the gold standard" but also intended to re-valorize the franc further before he executed the oper- ation. These whispered advices are precisely the opposite from the rumor of only a week or two before which had the Premier stabilizing immedi- ately. But the effect on the Bourse was the 'same in both ses and the market suffered from a bad attack of nerves. This condition merely ac- centuates the rather unfortunate public impression which doubtless gained much credence in the United States as well as in France. [It was taken for granted that if the French clections upheld Poincare's fiscal po- licy, his hands would be free and he would stabilize the franc with short shrift, Vote of Approval France gave Poincare an unmistak- able vote of approval at the poll, Ac- cordingly at home and -ahroad those interested, either financially or senti- mentally, in the franc have been watching anxiously, but in vain, for the hour of the franc's legal stabili- ty. Perhaps they are too eager and too optimistic alike. Those who are close to the French political situa- tion following the vdst changes in the complexion of the new Chamber which assembled for the first time this Friday, and those who know Poincare, don't expect any sudden move to stabilize the French cur- rency, . Those nerve attacks regarding the franc's future have gained even more momentum the end of this week. Rumors of postponed action and pos sible revalorization again performed an adroit aboutface swing to the other extreme theory so that some responsible officials were insisting that Poincare would have to stabil- ize relatively soon--say sometime be- fore Bastille Day in July. From a prominent official who was for many years the head of one of the chief departments of the treasury it is learned that Moreau, governor of the Bank of France, is bringing ev- ery pressure to convince Poincare that he must legally guarantee the franc soon. Warns of Danger Moreau warns of the danger of the franc getting out of control if huge quantities of the franc continue to go into foreign hands in return for foreign currencies bought here. But it appears the premier still he- lieves he can afford to wait, and whe- ther banking officials and nervous business men will succeed in getting him to agree to the early return of the gold standard remains a matter which is speculated everywhere in Paris. What should be emphasized is that the question is still largely one of speculation, although there is a rather widespread willingness on the part of the public here to believe fz the hour of stabilization jis ap- | { proaching, Even when stabilization rumors | have flown thickest on the Bourse-- | such as the moment when the goy- ernment stopped the further emis- sion of a mew consolidation loan when it reached the ten billion francs | --these experienced observers have taken immediate gold standard talk with a large grain of salt. There are good reasons for this which the Ame- rican followers of the franc can't af- ford to overlook. In the first place, Poincare will be in much better stra- tegic political position if he delays the stabilization until October, or even after the first of next year. As long as he can hold the franc stationery by a de facto method, he has little to gain by rushing into de jure stabilization. In the past depu- ties behaved much better because the very fact that they did not know just what was going to happen to the franc, and this old axiom still holds. | Related to this is the fact that ex- | actly half of the new Chamber con- sists of newly-elected deputies, many whose party allegiances are still ephemeral. . Even though , the consolidation loan was a tremendous success and fortified the Premier's stabilization preparations beyond questioning, it is apparent he will need time to study the degree of support he can count on in the Chamber and likewise the effect of stabilizing upon the cost of living and other technical problems. If he were to pin the franc in the next few weeks, Poincare would be doing so while still in the dark on these associated matters. Beyond these affairs there is the rumor of revalorization. It is doubtless ecxag- gerated and perhaps untrue. But it has gained credence from the known fact that Poincare has long been wacillating between pin- ning the franc at twenty-five to the dollar and the temptation to show the world the franc is worth more than that. Should he attempt to re- valorize, many experts say he would court disastgr, and it is certain he would be bitterly opposed by Moreau and other Bank of France ials. Even so, Poincare's weakness to- ward revalorizati uppli othe substantial reason to believe he will continue to postpone stabilization during the next few months. Recent- ly information from good sources says that Poincare, in conference with Bank of France heads, told them bluntly he would not stabilize Juntil the first of the year at feast, immedi and to their arguments for - ate action he remained stubbornly adamant. If this is as well founded as appears, it means that Poincare will simgly let the sumoprs come apd ] : | © returning the gold hes Ds he pleases, or as long as 'he dares to do so. In any case, all the logic of the present situs ation in Paris points to the fact that it would be fallacious to anticipate a speedy stabilization solely on the strength of the. results of the French elections. his mind is made up, Poincare changes it with no more ease than Wilson did. Some unaccountable pressure may yet force him into stabilizing before the Chamber ends its present session in mid-July. But all the present odds are that it will be much safer and saner for both French and Ameri- cans not to become too hungry for or excited about stabilization of the franc for quite a long time to come. HISTORIC TRINITY BUILDING PASSES Large Part of Structure to Be Torn Down--Is Be- lieved Unsafe Toronto June 4.-- Historic old Trinity College, Queen street, west, Toronto, will soon be in the hands of wreckers as the Parks Commissioner, C. F. Chambers, has asked for tenders for the demolition of the wings of the col- lege and the students' residence. Only the central wing of the old college building will remain when the wreckers have finished their work, and playgrounds will take the place of the building torn down. The demolition of a large part of the original building has been decided upon as a measure of safety to children playing in Trinity Park, the former college grounds, ' On St. Patrick's Day, 1851, the first sod was turned on Trinity College grounds by Bishop Strachan in , the presence of a large number of citizens. The college was built "by the magni- ficense of those who both in Great Britain and in the Diocese of To- ronto, gave with willing hands Y, JUNE 4, 1928 Let Our Experts Tell You Whether \ "COKE Jeddo-- COAL G.M.C.- Your Furnace Should Burn Coal or Coke simply to assist our hundreds of customers ----This Service is maintained by this company in their various difficulties. DIXON COAL COMPANY Telephone 262~4 Lines to Central ° a NE gifts of money and land for the accomplishment of the object aim- ed at by the founders." Bishop Strachan was the first president. A portion of the building was com- pleted in 1852. This is the main building, which will be the only part left standing after the pres- ent wrecking is completed. The materials used were white bricks made in Yorkville, then a village on Yonge street north of Bloor street, now part of the city of Toronto and stone from Cleve- land, which harmonizes in color with the brick. In 1884 the chapel on the east side was open- ed and was spoken of by compet- ent authorities as a gem of eccles- jastical architecture, The west wing was added in 1891, and the ¢astern in 1894, These buildings are now to be torn. down. New Trinity College is situated near the University of Toronto with which it is affiilated, CHILD KILLED BY A CAR, POLICE ARE SEEKING DRIVER Hamilton, June 3.--Inspector of Detectives Joseph Crocker tonight employed a radio broadcast in an éffort to effect the apprehension of 4a man who is alleged to have fled after his heavy automobile crushed out the life of little Fred David, aged 3 years, who lived at 26 Greig street, early this even- ing.
