PARIS, Dec. 16.-Eormer Finance
Minister Paul Doumer tonight ac-
cepted the request Of Premier Aris-
tide BRAND that he resume the
finance portfolio, succeeding Louis
Loucheur. who resigned yesterday
under pressure of the popular dis
satisfaction with his tax program.
Having experienced with a per
sonal program" of taxes under Lou
cheur's brief tenure and having
found the direct taxes unpopular,
the cabinet decided to present its
own program rather than to have a
project which would bear only the
personal label of Doumer.
Loucheurs retirement eliminated,
at least temporarily, the defeat
which the cabinet appeared certain
to get in the chamber If it stood by
Loucheur and his proposals.
