THE future of radio however, in its
last analysis, is dependent upon eco
nomic questions" declared Mr.. Jewett.
Radio broadcasting now is being done
contrary to all business principles, the
ultimate consumer not paying for 1t.
Two classes of business are operating
radio broadcasting stations: That
which operates for the purpose of
creating a demand for receiving sets,
the radio dealer, and that which seeks
advantage and good will, stores and
newspapers.
When the novelty of radio wears
off, and the people tire of fishing for
stations" he continued, there will be
a change in broadcasting.

as financial wizard" This legend
is mainly responsible for his return
to office. Thousands Of Frenchmen
who would refuse to shake his hand
and who would leave a room if he
entered it, will reluctantly admit that
he has no peer as financier.
Premier During Crisis.
Paul Painleve, on the other hand,
though an eminent mathematician, is
regarded politically as a second
rater. He, too, has been the object
of violent controversy. Premier for
a short time during the war, he is
held by some to have been response
BILE for the disastrous Nivelle offensive
in 1917, which sent thousands of the
best French troops to slaughter. He
was a transition premier then in
time of military crisis. He is chosen
for an equally ungrateful task today
in a moment of financial peril.
The selection of Painleve. to whom
the post was offered a week ago, but
who refused to take it until the willy
BRAND had tried and failed to form a
government, has two motives: first. to
provide premier who, it is expected,
will be easily dominated by the two
strong men in the cabinet, BRAND and
CaillauX, and, secondly, TO get rid of
NJ. Painleve as president of the Cham
Der of Deputies, in which position he
has caused the Left bloc no end Of
embarrassment. Because of his strong
partisanship and temperamental un-
fitness to be a presiding officer, the
chamber during the past year has been
almost constantly a scene of indie
scribable confusion, and this has done
much to discredit the Radical and So
cialist majority in the eyes of the
country.

cialiSm. There are only two really
socialist" parties: the Unified So
cialists, commonly called simply So
cialists, and the Communists, who ad-
here to the Moscow International, and
aways vote against everything. The
other parties who tack the word onto
their names are what we in America
would describe as liberals or progress
sives or Jeffersonian Democrats.
Therefore, whatever they may call
themselves, the members of Painleve's
cabinet are none of them real Social
lists, nor were any of Herriot's min
listers. Herriot did, however, have the
support of the Socialist party which
decided, in a party convention, to sup
port his government rather than see
the Left bloc broken up and the
reinS of power pass to the Center or
the Right. In return for this support
they demanded that Herriot apply
certain articles of the program. not
ably the levy on capital, which
brought about Herriot's downfall.
See Need of Germany.
The real significance of Caillaux's
gradual return to power in France is
not merely his personal Vindication,
but the growing realization through
out France that the surest guarantee
of French safety lies in closer com
mercial relations with Germany. The
charge upon which Caillaux was con-
victed for traffic with the enemy"
during the war was based on his well
known opinion that France and Ger

Ultimately, by the breaking down Of
customs barriers and other artificial
restraints on trade, they would be-
come a powerful economic unit, on a
par with England on the one hand
and America on the other. But if they
remain divided and hostile NJ Gail
lauX holds that a recurrence of war
and mutual destruction is the only
possible outcome.
Finds Link With Socialists.
NJ. Caillaux's view that the narrow
policies of Poincare were in great part
responsible for the last war is his
one strong tie with the Socialists. and
If the Painleve government obtains
Socialist support it will be largely for
this reason.
But even this will not hold the

ARGUMENT DELAYS
WHEELER'S TRIAL
TechnicaIity in Evidence Is

By the Associated Press.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. April 49,
Recollections of the Senate investiga-
ton of Senator Burton X. Wheeler's
indictment were recorded in Federal
Court here today when H. G.. Closer
one of the Governments star wit
nesses in the trial of the Montana
Senator testified at length and under
went stiff cross-examination by
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, chief of de-
fense counsel.
Senator Wheeler is charged with ap-
pearing illegally before the Depart
ment of the Interior on behalf of a
client after his election to the Senate.
Glosser's examination occupied most
of the afternoon session, which went
into extra hours because of technical
argument between counsel.
CLOSER formerly was secretary to
Gordon Campbell, Montana oil opera
tor, for whom Wheeler is alleged to
have wrongfully appeared before the
Department of the Interior. He re-
called a conference in his apartment
here between Wheeler and Campbell
but declared he paid no attention to

PARIS. April 1S.-The security OF
France and solution of the financial
problems confronting the French
treasury are the two most important
points TO be dealt with in the Pain
leve ministerial declaration to be
made Tuesday. il was decided today
during the first two cabinet councils
Of the new government. The docu
ment will be short and, excepting
these two main questions, will not go
into the details of cabinet policies.

The appearance of CaillauX's picture
on the screens of cinema theaters
caused prolonged booing and kissing
in two large establishments on the
boulevards.

protest in the chamber against Gail

of finance.
Socialist party leaders have con
ferred with the new premier and
virtually have agreed to support the
new ministry upon the broad lines
ri its declaration TO be made on Tues
day. The Socialists, however, are
reserving their liberty of action upon
certain questions, the most important
being that of a capital levy.
'Painleve's program is satisfactory

alist leader. Leon Blum, said after the
conference.
we do not ask the cabinet to make

long as its program adheres to the
general broad lines of the Herriot poll
cies We viii support it. However,
there remains many details upon
which the Socialist party cannot agree
with the new Government" said NJ.
Blum.
The fact that CaillauX will take over
the ministry of finance will have no
immediate effect in speeding up the
final voting on the French budget, in
asmuch as Deputy Vincent Auriole,
president of the finance committee of

that he would ask Parliament to vote
