Last week the total advances that the Bank has made to the state stood at 24,650,000,000 francs and the legal limit of the government's borrowing capacity established by law at 32,000,000,000 francs. Thus, whereas France last year had a margin of only 150,000,000 francs upon which to draw, today she has 7,350,000,000 francs at her disposal in a currency worth nearly double what it was.
