Herriot Cabinet in Peril ?
Hindenburg Nominated
by German Nationalists.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
AX THIS writing t lie downfall of
the Herriot government of France
is momentarily expected, because of j
the determined opposition in parlia- j
inent to its financial plan. Already the }
premier lias met defeat in the senate j
on a minor issue, and though he was i
persuaded not to quit on that account, j
It was believed the cabinet would soon ;
be overthrown.
Anatole de Monzie, the new minister i
of finance, offered to parliament his
scheme for meeting the financial crisis.
This, briefly, is a camouflaged capital
levy of 10 per cent en French wealth
and an increase of paper currency to
the extent of 4.000.000,<>00 francs
(roughly. !?200.000.00y). The levy is
disguised as a "voluntary contribu
tion'' in return for per cent bonds,
payments to1 be made at twenty-three- |
month intevals. Wage earners em
ployed at physical labor and those
drawing salaries below a fixed sum are
exempt. All others must contribute
10 per cent of their wealth, under pen
alty. The people of France as a whole
did not seem especially opposed to this
measure, but the finance committee of
the chambers had many changes to
offer and the opposition parties at
tacked the. plan vigorously. The cur
rency inflation is not considered so
serious since the Bank of France al
ready has issued more francs than the
legal limit, but the "forced voluntary)
contribution" is beins fought especially |
by the nationalist Moc and the reac- j
tionaries. M. de Monzie ?ays he hopes
to raise . 15,000. 000,000 francs ($750,
000,000) during five years, \which is
only about 3 per cent of the nation's
wealth, while an additional 1.000,000,
000 francs (SoO.OOO.oOO) would be pro
duced annually because reduction of
the il-oating debt would cut down in
terest and carrying charges.
Hundreds of Americans and English
men who have established official resi- j
dence in France in order to escape .
heavy income tax at home will be coin- j
pel led to contribute a tifhe of their i
wealth unless tin y are able to transfer '
their holdings befoa? the measure be
comes operative ? if it ever does. The
safes of t'tie great gambling casinos nti
the Riviera and at Deauville also will
be tapped, Prima riiy the plan is de
signed to uphold the exchange value of
the franc. For the present this is be- 1
ing kept steady by the purchase of j
francs by the French government with '
Morgan loan funds. The re-establish- I
ing of the gold franc is the ultimate !
aim of the government;
F
I FLO MARSHAL VOX IIINDEX- j
Ul'RG lias accepted the nomination
of the German Nationalists for the
presidency, in opposition to Wiihelm ,
Marx, nominee of the Republican coali- j
tion and leader of the Catholic Centrist i
party. Twice the oid soldier declined !
the honor, partly because of his age j
and partly because he wanted L>r. Karl j
Jar res to run. But the Nationalists i
compelled Jarres to withdraw from j
tiie campaign and obtained the in
dorsement of the Hanoverian party, i
the Bavarian People's party a-f/d the f
Economic party fur the eandid;\cy of j
the tield marshal. The German t^o- j
pie's party, led by Doctor Stresemann, ;
for some days threatened to break i
away from the Nationalist coalition if j
Von Hindenburg were nominated, but |
it, too, finally yielded, issuing this
statement :
"Despite our apprehension's of inter
national and national difficulties which
may result from the nomination of
Gen. von 'Hindenburg. we will stand
with him in the fight for his election
for the sake < f the bourgeois parties.
We will keep up the discipline of the
party."
Von Hindenburg still declares him- !
self the "devoted servant" of former
Kaiser William, and German Repub
licans wonder how, if he is that and
if he Is elected, he can swear .-in.' oath
of allegiance to the republic. I i aost
prominent supporters assert u^-niy
tluit they, as well :is the field marshal,
believe tin- idoa of a 111011:1 rcliy is only
slumbering in Germany and that tin*
nation is awaiting the day when a
monarch shall preside over its des
tinies. "For us all" they say. "the son
of t!ie crown prince will he t ho legal
lieir to the. throne when lie reaches
liis majority." This will be in 1027, so
that is the date when the Nationalists
expect the restoration. The way to I:
has been made clearer by the virtual
renunciation by Crown Prince Rup
precht of Bavaria of his claims to the
imperial throne. He says north Ger
many does not want a Catholic sov
ereign. and that his health is broken.
And then, on' the other hand, all of
these plans, hopes and discussions may
be futile, for Marx may be elected
president and the German republic
may be continued indefinitely.
It is announced that Germany's pay
ments to creditor nations under the
Dawes plan during March amounted to
01,691,000 marks ($22,923,500). Of this
France received 37.900,000 marks and
Great Britain 21.G00.000. Total pay
ments for the seven months the Dawes
plan has been in operation have been
$145,000,000.
u IYE her a good swipe how," said
vJ Secretary of the Navy Wilbur to
Mrs. Wilbur Tuesday at Camden, N.
.1.. and the lady promptly smashed a
bottle of mineral water on the bows
of the largest airplane carrier in the
world. The U. S. S. Saratoga there
upon slid down the ways while whistles
shrieked and aircraft swooped aloft.
The Saratoga is the biggest ship ever
built in the United States and when
completed will have cost $4fi,000,000.
She will be the mother ship of 72
planes. 31 of which will be bombers.
In addition she will cifrry great stores
of parts and explosives and will have
elaborate repair shops. Her huge elec- I
trie motors will give her a speed of 30 j
knots, enabling her to forge far ahead
of a battleship fleet. The turbine gen
erators will supply 4."), 000 horse-power
to each of the four screws.
Admittedly something of an experi
ment, the SaratiAjta is looked on with
scorn by Brig. Gen. William Mitchell,
about to be retired from the jiost of
assistant chief of the army air service.
Said he:
"I could sink the Saratoga with a
pursuit plane; 1 wouldn't even need a
bomber. As a part of the national de
fense it is not worth considering. By
this fall the building of aircraft car
riers of that kind will be stopped, It
is useless to build a carrier for air- |
planes that can be sunk so easily.
"The same thing goes for all battle
ships. Look at the great fleet now at
anchor on the Pacific coast, waiting
to participate in the Hawaiian exer
cises. They could lie sunk to a ship
within a few hours by a single squad
ron, of bombers. Holding maneuvers
with battleships made obsolete by the
? irplane is Civil war stuff. It's ridicu
lous." )
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, a notable
* advocate of considerable silence,
lets it be known that he would like a j
little more of that concerning several j
things. One of these is the matter of
lie French debt. He is fully cognizant
of France's financial troubles and there
will be no attempt to force her to dis
cuss the war debt problem until she is
in better position. Concerning the
plans of the United States for calling
another limitation >f arms parley, also,
there is too much talk, the President
thinks, in view of the fact that nothing
definite is planned for the immediate
future.
Government officials say that the
many recent stories of the President's
extreme economy in the matter of his
clothing purchases are not received
kindly at the White House, and that
most of them are^fnlse or misleading.
Merchants in Washington had begun to
fear that the example attributed to
-Mr. Coolldjre would be followed by the
society folk there and that the re-sol
ing of shoes and the blocking of old
huts would become "the thing."
TURKEY is having a hart4 time sup
pressing the revolt of the Kurds,
who are determined to revive the cali
phate and. are all in arms.' Sheik Said,
their leader, is said to have at least
30.000 fanatical followers and is hold
ing a number of hnportant towns. The
government has offered a reward for
his capture alive or dead and has sent
some 70,000 troops into Kurdistan.
Coin plot i' mobilization has been or
dered, Premier Ismet Pasha admitting
tlt.it the revolt is in inch graver than
newspaper reports liave indicated.

teer navy flyers will be a part of
