BANK OF FRANCE CARRIES
WORLD’S LARGEST OVERDRAFT
PARIS, Dec. 19 (/P)—The biggest
overdraft in the world is carried by

The existence of an organization

due to the foresight of Napoleon.
WTien he founded the Bank in 1800 he
gave it the exclusive privilege of is
suing paper money with the proviso
that the French treasury be permitted
to draw upon the institution up to
the amount of 140 million francs.
