Grivenko was smashing the arms and legs of the statue when arrested. An excited crowd collected. means that for the first time in recent French history something is likely to be accomplished without prolonged preliminary discussion. The chamber voted confidence in the government by 358 votes to 131 —a majority of 227. By a vote of 418 to 31 the chamber agreed to urgent need of the cabinet’s financial project. The vote came after Poincare read the ministerial declaration of his coalition cabinet. While Poincare read In the chamber, another member of the cabinet was reading in the senate. Situation Reversed The situation is just the reverse of that which confronted the then Premier Edouard Herriot last week when he arose In a hostile chamber to read a declaration that almost immediately resulted in his removal from office. Poincare said prance was anxious to pay her debts, but that it was to everybody’s interests first to terminate the financial crisis.

"Every one of the men who thus are gathered have the purpose of working with the same heart at the task 6f public safety. They considered it their duty to employ all our thought and all our forces flow. Later other questions may come up whereupon these men might differ, but today they are entirely in accord on the necessity and urgency and the means of financial rescue." “We are submitting a bill to meet the present insufficiency of our resources compared with our charges. To avoid forever further risks of inflation, we propose to vote supplements to the Indispensable receipts as well as the principal important economies.’ No Tax Increase Poincare said direct and Indirect taxation would be increased. “We do not claim to me able to solve in a few weeks nor even in a few months,’ the premier continued, “all the economic and financial problems caused by the almost universal illness. “Let us immediately start the heavy task for the republic and for the mother country.” Communist uproar marred Poincare’s first appearance as head of the new government. Never wu a ministerial communication so internupted before, but at the end it received tremendous applause from the right, center and left—Socialists and Communists conspicuously abstaining from the approving rackety Jean Renaud, a Communist deputy, created the greatest interruption by insisting that he be permitted to speak beyond the negular five minutes period allotted to him. He shouted and hammered his desk, but finally subsided.
