PARIS, Oct. 26-Demands for the
resifnsiton Of NJ. Joseph caillaux,
French finance minister. were made
during stormy session Of the eab-
net today.
cailIaux who steadfastIy refuses to
resign and who also refuses to accom-.
modate his financial policy to the de-
mands of the radicals, was under a
heavy fire during the brief cabinet
session.
"If you don't resign we will hand in
the entire cabinets resignation" NJ.
BRAND, foreign minister, declared to
caillaux.
Premier Pinleve is said to have also
urged upon M. Caillaux that he resign
in order that the remainder OF the
cabinet could carry on it's work. His
request was backed not only by M.
BRAND but also by Minister of Public
Works Laval.
Whole Cabinet May Fall.
Caillaux stood pat, with his eyes
flashing and his voice raised to a pitch
which almost made it audible outside
the cabinet chamber, he replied:
II understand perfectly what you
desire. You want me to resign so that
you may form another cabinet with
out me.
81 refuse.
81 will go before the chamber with
the entire cabinet and fall with it and
not alone"
After this dramatic stand by Call
laux the cabinet adjuorned until to-
morrow, in an effort to patch up the
situation.
Crisis Tomorrow.
1t is doubtful if the present French
ship of state will weather the storm
at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. An
official communique states that every
thing is all right; that Caillaux read
his statement to the members pres
emit, but that he had only one copy
which made discussion impossible,
hence the members will be furnished
with copies of the statement so that
they may discuss it tomorrow, after
bordering over it tonight.
Goes Down Fighting.
Caillaux, who, since the outbreak Of
the world war has passed thru many
crises affecting him personally, the
most difficult of which was his Danish
ment as a German agent by Clemen-
ceau, is fighting to the last ditch for
his, policies.
Yesterday he spoke before the lead
ers of his senatorial district, pointing
to the national internal debt OF
300 600, 100000 francs ($15,000, 900 ,O0O)
and bitterly condemning the policies
of his predecessors whom he accused
of "strutting in the kingdom of illus
ions, borrowing and spending money
like prodigal counting on fabulous
inheritance"
He then assaulted the propoal Of the
socialists for capital levy.
This beligerent attitude Of Caillaux
will certainly force the resignation Of
the cabinet. But is is conceded that
President Doumergue will ask Pre-
mier Painleve to again form a cabi-
net, and it will be formed without
Caillaux. The result will be the same
as tho Caillaux resigned, instead Of
forcing a fall of the cabinet.
BRAND Suddenly III.
PARIS, Oct. 26-Aristide BRAND,
French foreign minister, suffered a
hemorrhage of the nose, following a
stormy session Of the cabinet today.
After heated verbal row, in which
BRAND is said to have played an i'm
portant part, two doctors were hur-
riedly summoned and it was an
nounced that M. BRAND was suffering
from hemmorhage and was bleed
inc nrofuaelv from the nose.
