the deaths almost 10000 more. but
the natural increase in population. it
will be seen by comparing deaths
with births, amounted to roughly
100000 people.
Emigration rids this overcrowded
land of only a minior proportion of
the increase that the population
makes every year. There are more
people in the country by over 2,O00.-
900 than before the war, and doubt
less there are almost as many at
work, yet the army of unemployed

Socialists Bolt.

PARIS. April Is. - Late this
afternoon, Paul Painleve accepted
the invitation to form a Cabinet
saying he did not expect to have
his Cabinet completed before tomor-
row. He said he would first con-
suit with President De Selves, of
the Senate and also the President s
supporters.
The Finance Committee has sent
to the Senate and House of Depu-
ties the Socialist motion to prevent
the introduction of the bill to legal
Bank of France and this was de-
feated by the Chamber of Deputies
1872 to 164 and also by the Senate.
Painleve remarked the Socialist
party which shoulders none of the
responsibilities of power has only
100000 members and has been as
suming altogether too preponderate
a role.
II is said that Painleve expects
to encounter the same obstacles as
the Herriot ministry in the issue
over extreme financial policies and
will live only a few weeks.
The Socialists have barred all
members from accepting any posi-
tions in the Painleve Cabinet al
though the party leaders have voted
unanimously So support the min
istry in conformity with the cleo
tion last year.
