POSTPONED BY PREMIER

and Security Maintained,
Declaration Says.
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, April 21.-The ultimate inn
position of drastic financial measures,
maintenance of the embassy at the
Vatican and pacification of internal
dissension, but above all real security
for France, were the prime points in
the ministerial declaration of the Pain
eve-CaillauX-Brian cabinet read be-
fore the Chamber of Deputies and the
Senate this afternoon.
France has had bitter disillusion-
ment," the statement declared, but
was determined to look the facts in
the face"
The statement appealed to "the ma
tional concord" with reference to the
finances as we'll as to the religious
question.
Draws Ironical Laughter.
During the reading of the declara-
ton in the Senate there WAS applause
only when Jules Steeg. the minister
of justice, voiced the passage regard
ing the security of Europe. There
was ironical laughter at the phrase
mo useless controversies"
After the reading the Senate ad-
journed until Thursday morning,
awaiting the chambers decision on
the new ministry and Premier Pain
leve's appearance in the upper cham
ber.
Regarding the finances the state
ment declared:
When we have succeeded finally
and definitely in balancing the budget
so it cannot be questioned, we will
take the state out of the role of bank
er. which it has been made to fill.
Then we will be obliged to ask big
sacrifices of the Nation. We shall ap-
peal to all citizens in the atmosphere
of national concord"
Will Maintain Treaties.
The statement said France would
maintain all her present treaties and
pursue the execution of the Dawes
plan at the same time as the settle
ment OF the interallied war debts.
The government pronounced in ia
vor of the maintenance of a diplo-
matte representative at the Vatican,
calling the official "a highly qualified
representative" instead of an ambas-
sa dor.
The declaration makes the reduction
and reorganization of the army con-
tingent upon success of the negotia-
tions for the complete tranquilization
of Europe and security for the French
frontiers.
Will Proceed Slowly.
The Government said it would go
slowly and carefully in applying the
French laws to Alsace and Lorraine.
This" it added, cannot be pur-
sued except with the best of counsel.
in full respect for acquired rights.
The declaration reaffirmed the Her
riot ministry's policy of security and
reassured Poland as to Frances posi-
ton on this question.
Faithful to all it's allies, just and
pacific toward all nations" says the
statement, France has the profound
desire to give to the world the repose
and stability of which it has such
great need but the first conditions of
a stable peace is that France herself
he secure"
CailIaux Sits Rigid.
CaillauX, who was the storm center
of the tumuIt in the chamber, sat
rigid on the government bench, never
looking to the right nor to the left
and never acknowledging by single
motion either the cries of hatred from
the right or the cheers and applause
from the radicals.
The chamber was about evenly di-
Vided in point of numbers with it's
applause and booing, but the opposi-
ton made more noise and Painleve
was obliged to stop after every SEN
tence of the declaration while cries of
"CaillauX, CaillauX, CaillauX" greeted
him.
When the premier reached that
part of the declaration dealing with
the security problem there were in
terruptions from the right, with
Hindenburg.
Rights I'm Rage.
The premier's reference to the sac
srffices of the battlefield sent the par
ties of the Right into torrent of rage
The Vatican question caused calm to
be restored for a moment Never
has a cabinet been received with such
enthusiasm by its supporters and
with such demonstrations of intense
denunciation by the opposition.
Painleve concluded the declaration
amid one of the greatest demonstra-
tions ever staged in the Chamber
with the applause and denunciation
about evenly divided. The frequent
interruption caused him to take As
minutes to read statement of ] 500
words.
Caillaux appeared absolutely un-
moved throughout the demonstration,
even when a group on the Right at
the mention of the word Justice"
kept shouting High court, high
court for Caillaux"'
Insertions i'm Speech.
The hasty alterations in the minis
teriar declaration were apparent in
the copies distributed when the read
ing started. The appeal for unity had
been inserted and notifications made
in the passage about the army, the
