PARIS, June 27.-Finance Min
lister Caillaux's self-styled "auda-

of Frances money problems today
received the approval of the Sen
ate finance commission, shortly
after it had kept the Chamber
of Deputies up all night and won

The vote Of the senate commits

Eleven members of the Poincare.

mission did not vote.
Caillaux's program included:
/. The creation OF a financial

2. A 5000, 10000 franc increase
in the currency.
o. "A AeW UOIlU issue TO dOSOrD ue'

4. Limitation of the floating debt

Capital levy, an issue the So
cialists were reluctent to drop, was
thrust into the all-night debate in
the Chamber Of Deputies in an
eloquent address by Leon Blum,
Socialist leader. It was defeated,
$40 to 210.
The jump in paper circulation,
to meet immediate demands from
holders of defense and treasury
bonds maturing within the next six
months, was regarded as the point
on which Caillaux's fight in the
chamber hinged, but it received a
supporting vote, 328 to 119.

taken by the lieutenant. Not less than
200 Jewish refugees were murdered
in this manner, the attorney for the
