France faces budget surplus and tax lift plans
France projects a surplus of 568 million francs for the coming year as finance officials note rising living costs and call for franc stabilization. The plan credits stronger tax collection and export growth while warning on inflation and economic balance. A second committee will study German funds abroad with Kenry M. Robinson named as American member. Premier Poincare's stance toward Germany grows lenient amid potential railway handovers and eased customs controls. An assassination attempt on Prince Regent Hirohito is reported, with the assailant captured and Home Minister Goto resigning.
