Franc Continues to Fall

PARIS, Dec. 11. (United News)
Rumors of anothec cabinet crisis
are thickening the political atmos
phere ot Paris. France is groaning
In anticipation ot the heavy taxea
which Finance Minister Loucheur
proposes to collect ln his effort to
stabilize the franc.
Before stabilisation can be achiev
ed, Loucheur told the chamber of
deputies finance committee Friday,
the French debt to the United States
must be settled. By sending Sen
ator Henri Berenger to Washington
as French ambassador, the govern
ment hopes to expedite the settle
ment. Whother a storm Is gathering
which would blow Loucheur. and
perhaps tbe entire Brland cabinet,
from office, Is not yet evident. The
best for which the government can
hope is a hot fight In tho chamber,
and perhaps victory.
The dollar exchange quotation
which has been a barometer In Eur
ope since the war, was falling Fri
day. The franc closed at 26.99 to
the dollar.
C. It. Purcell, district engineer
of tbe United States bureau ot
roads, Is undoubtedly "misinform
ed" regarding the action of tbe
Klamath county court when, re
cently, he charged that the county
had failed to live up to its agree
ment with the state and federal
government.
Such was tha statement last
night of Charles Martin, county
commissioner, when , Interviewed
regarding Purcell's announcement.
"I have no desire to attack Mr.
Purcell, but I tnink he has not all
the facts regarding the case," Mar
tin said. Purcell had, according
to newspaper stories, said he would
not favor apportioning further road
funds to Klamath county.'
"It's thi. way," Mr. Martin ex
plained quietly. "There are times
when it is impossible to accom
plish a certain thing. In the first
place one firm ot contractors, Loe
& Harris, hadn't completed, their
contract, but that clearing has now
been done.
'fr' Sent Crew '

of men ic the forest section of Tha
Dalles-California highway, and saw
that the work was completed. I
believe it is reasonable to say tha
county court did what It could In
that instance."
' Regarding three contracts let last,
year, It was necessary to wait for
a bond Iasue to be voted, ln Novem
ber, before the county had suffi
cient funds with' which to proceed,
Mr. Martin explained.
"It la my opinion that Mr. Pur
cell was. not justified In attacking
us as he is reported to have done,"
Mr. Martin insisted. "Furthermore
the county court ot Klamath is do
ing all ln its power to improve
road conditions." c
Purcell, according to reports, had
charged that clearing ot the high
Way was not done according to con
tract, which provided that the tim
ber was to be piled up and burned
and that everything waa to be
ready for the 'grading contractor.
This was not done, he told the
highway commission, and as a re
sult (he contractor was delayed and
extra work became necessary.
