GOVERNMENT DEFEAT
AR0USES ALL FRANCE
President Poincare Urged to
Select a Premier Who Will
Push Reform Bills.

PARIS, March 1s-The defeat of the
French government in the senate last
night on the question of proportional
representation and the subsequent
resignation of the BRAND cabinet have
caused an immense sensation through
out France Almost the entire press OF
the country expresses praise of Premier
Brands work.
The action of the senate is attributed
in some quarters to intriSues manipu-
lated by the forces of reaction against
the popular will, and President Po!n-
care is urged to select a premier who
will push through parliament the re-
form pills which the senate Is evidently
bent on defeating.
President Poincare was occupied to-
day in consultations with influential
members Of both houses of parliament.
The statesmen most frequently men
toned as head Of the new ministry are
Eugene Etienne. minister of war; Jean
Barthou, minister of justice and Louis
L. Klotz. minister of finance.
Deaf to the eloquent arguments of the
French premier, embodied in what is
pronounced the finest speech of his ca
reer the senate overthrow the govern
ment.
Ministry Resigns.
The chamber of deputies had already
passed this measure by vote of S39
to 217, and practically the whole coun-
try had been clamoring for the political
rearrangement provided by this bill.
After the senate by a vote of 161 to 12S
had adopted the amendment introduced
by Senator Paul l.. Peytral, republi-
can liberal, which proposed that the ma
jority should receive the whole of the
representation, the ministers Immediately
withdrew and held brief consulta ton.
They then proceeded to the Eiysee Pa
ace and handed their designations to
President Poincare.
The President accepted the designations,
but requested the ministers to continue
to transact current business until their
successors had been found.

Unqualified sanction was given by con-
gressmen to President Wilson's recent
announcement as to the administration
attitude toward Central and South Amer
lean governments. In brief, that pro.
nunciamento was regarded by congress
men of both parties as a declaration OF
honorable Intentions by this govern
ment toward neighbors to the southwark
coupled with warning in language une-
quivocal that turbulent elements in those
countries seeking disturbance will be
frowned upon by the United States and

1t expedient to make this formal an

Panama Canal Tolls Next.

The next subject Of foreign policy to be
dealt with and disposed of by the new
administration is the Panama tolls ques-
ton. AS the case stands, Congress has
passed law eXempting American coast
wise shipping from tolls for using the
Panama canal. Great Britain has pro-
tested against the act as i'm contravention
OF existing treaty. and the foreign office
in London and the State Department at
Washington have exchanged notes, former
Secretary Knox stoutly upholding Con-
gress as being within it's rights.
President Wilson's attitude toward this
question is not generally known. Chair
man Adamson of the House committee
on interstate and foreign commerce in the
last House, and prospective chairman of
the new committee, declares that Presi-
dent Wilson is inclined to support the
British contention.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the Sem
ate committee on isthmian canal, favOrs
no tolls and his position is indorsed by
the democratic national platform. There
is honest difference of opinion among
congressman of both parties in each house.
The subject will have to come before
Congress, because the President cannot
nullify existing law, even if he desires
10 accede to the British arguments, which
IS not yet admitted to be the fact.

Hint as to Legislation.

A hint in the Presidents statement Of
future legislation to facilitate American
trade and financial connections abroad at
tracted attention of congressman today
The President said:
"The present administration will urge
and support the legislative measures nec-
essary to give American merchants, man
ufacturers, contractors and engineers the
banking and other financial facilities
which they now lack, and without which
they are at a serious disadvantage as
compared with their commercial and in
dustrial rivals"
This suggestion is construed to refer
to amendment of the banking and cur
rency laws to allow the establishment of
branches of American banks i'm foreign
countries, privilege not now accorded
to national banks of this country Ameri-
cans doing business in the orient and in
South America have complained for years
of financial difficulties confronting them
by lack of banking facilities such as are
enjoyed by European nations doing bust
ness in the same places and with their
own branch banks to finance their under
takings. .shs
This proposition will be presented to
Congress in due time by President Will

statesmen, who have heard it discussed

Saw Some Fine Pitching.

Mr. Dickey's talk over the long-distancs

Granville was confined to receiving an ao-
count OF the practice Of the base bali

had seen some fine pitching. and tho
youngster was allowed to confine his re-
port OF his situation and experiences to-
an account OF what the team is doing and
what may be expected Of it when the
base ball season opens.
1t was being recalled at the Dickey
home today that Granville has been
the most ardent base ball enthusiasm
in his neighborhood. He is said TO b.
able to pitch pretty good ball himself
and to have a mighty good arm. His

breakfast table Monday morning, when
he urged Granville to. eat, the latter
told him he could not keep his mind
of the team at Charlottesville, and said

Suspicious Not Justified.

To be sure, there was no actual exist
ent ground for suspecting Interior mo-
tives. The Taft administration had made
notable and conspicuous effort to con-
vince them of the disinterested friendship
OF the North Americans. But the fact
was evident that, nevertheless and not
withstanding. the suspicion was there in
culcated. 1t is said, by politicians seeking
their personal ends
The new administration and its sun
porters in Congress feel that nothing
could have been more frank nor should
be more convincing of the friendly but
firm policy of the Wilson regime toward
Latin-America, and it is now regarded
as a closed incident as. they say i'm the
language Of the chancelleries.
President Wilson's refusal to guarantee
the participation of American bankers in
the six-power loan to China will be ap-
proved by democratic congressman gen
orally. it is thought. AS the situation is
viewed by some, the new administration
has avoided committing the United States
to policy which contained in the view
OF President Wilson and his advisers
elements of possible future foreign en-
tanglement.
While the Taft administration did not
apprehend such possibilities in the ar
rangement, the Wilson administration is
taking no chances. playing safety" it
Is said, will be the verdict Of friends of
the administration in Congress, and the
policy is submitted to the public for ap-
proval, with the administration expecting
to receive it.
