...notable excess," said Premier-Finance Minister Raymond Poincaré, before the Chamber of Deputies, "a really notable excess of revenue over expenditures, Messieurs, has been achieved under my direction for the first time since the War. When I assembled my Cabinet (TIME, Aug. 2), we were forced to obtain credits of 930,000,000 francs [$179,490,000] from large concerns, but every centime has now been repaid and 7,500,000,000 francs [$1,447,500,000] to our credit in the Bank of France. [Applause.] I repeat, Messieurs les Deputés 'a notable excess...
Premier Raymond Poincaré cabled Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon that France would like to pay the U. S. $10,000,000 on its War debt account. Mr. Mellon cabled back that the U. S. would be pleased to accept the handout. The payment will be made on June 15, without prejudice to the ratification of the Berenger-Mellon debt-funding agreement which neither the French Parliament nor the U. S. Senate has yet approved...
Premier Raymond Poincaré, ever an arch militarist, took full advantage of last week's war scare in the Belgian Parliament (see INTERNATIONAL) to trumpet through the inspired Parisian press that France must drastically increase her armaments.

Marshal Foch, appearing before the Chamber in full uniform, declared...

These are the sums due Britain from France in the unratified Franco-British debt settlement. By simply paying them, without ratification or discussion of the debt settlement, the Premier signified his intention last week, of forcing the debtors of France to take what they can get when they can get it. Pursuing this...
Premier Raymond Poincare went before the Chamber of Deputies last week and spoke of an old man in such fashion that soon there were tears in some eyes. . . . Would Messieurs les Députés recall for a moment Antoine Emmanuel Ernest Monis, who 16 years ago was Premier of France? Many who sat in the Chamber last week must have known him in his prime. They must recall how it became necessary for him to resign the Premiership after a tragic accident. . . . Premier Monis had gone out with his War Minister, Henry Maurice Berteaux, to Issy-les-Moulineaux...
