Finance Minister's Fears
'£40,000,000 DEFICIT EVEN IF THE ECONOMIC
OUTLOOK IMPROVES
(From our own Correspondent.)
Paris, December 14.
The Bourse to-day did not react as
favour ably as mi ght have been ex-
pected to JI. Flandin 's success at the
Chamber last niglit when his Wheat
Bill was p assc d by a substantial
majority. It is probable that it was
depressed by the Budget discussion at
the Senate, which cleurly showed that
the fin ancial outlook in .France is still
far from promi sing.
The 3935 Budget bill shows a deficit
of 460,000,000 francs (£6, 120 ,000) at
current rates), but, as M. Germain-
Martin , the Minister of Finance, him-
self admitted, i t is o nl y a "paper
deficit," and the real deficit would be
between 2,500,000,000 and 3,000,000,000
"if there is a certain improvement in
the general economic situation," and
much larger if there was no such
improvement. 3t. Caillaux, the chair-
man of the Finance Committee of the

NAZIS ADOPT NEW
MEASURES
(From our own Correspondent.)
.Beklix, December 14.
A "law for . the - protection of the
State and the- party against insidious
attacks rand for the protection of the
party .unifoirn " is included among a
batch of legislative measures decreed
by the Cabinet, last night at the last
meeting to be held this year.
The law, ""which replaces a similar
Nazi law,'is" characteristically general
and elastic,' and therefore capable of
extremely wide fscope. Prosecutions
under it, in so far as the Nazi party
only is regarded as being involved , are
expressly , made contingent on the
appro v al of .'Herr Hess, the deputy of
Herr Hitler..
It prescribes imprisonment up to
two years for making or circulating

torted character " in the guise of facts
which damage the wellbeing of the
State or the prestige of the Govern-
ment, the Nazi party, or its organisa-
tions. If such statements are made
publicly, or publicly circulated , the
minimum punishment is to be three
months' imprisonment. Offending state-
ments which are made through " gross
carelessness," however, may be
punished with a fine onlj ', or by
imprisonment not exceeding three
mnntlis.
Statements regarded as malicious or

Mr. Filson Young was the senior
steward and Mr. T. O. Dugdale the
junior steward at the 135th annual
dinner of the Old Mancunians' Associa-
tion, held at the Ueform Club, Man-
chest er, last night. In the cours e of his
speech to the toast of "Prosperity to
the Sc h ool," Mr. Filson Young touched
upon many reminiscences of his school
days and his early life m Manchester
and reproached the High Master for a
failure to carry out Hugh Oldham 's
wishes in one Tespect. He also made a
comparison between day and boarding
schools, from which the boarding schools
did not emerge favourably. His
strictures on corporal punishment were
stroncr.
