French Finance Minister Proposes Voluntary Levy Plan
Paris reports that Anatole de Monzie proposed a voluntary extraordinary contribution to avert a direct capital levy. The plan, supported by Herriot and leftist leaders with a possible 2 percent interest rate, aims to fund the treasury by trading short term state loans for the new voluntary contribution. The Bank of France would be allowed to increase francs issued by 4 billion against commercial paper, bringing total to 45 billion. The government seeks a confidence vote in the Chamber and faces Senate opposition.
