HERRIOT MAY FALL

Paris, April 7.-"Confused' and
uncertain" were the words used to
describe the politicalfinancial stu
alton in France this morning. Po-
litical observers, however, are con-
vinced that the administration of
Premier Herriot is doomed to disap-
pear-but when and how they hesi-
tate to say.
NJ. Herriot still seems to retain a
certain amount Of confidence. Short
ly after midnight after a conference
with the leaders of his majority
group, he said:
"There is no reason to exaggerate
the difficulties Of the hour. The
storm burst simply because man
displayed a resolution to settle the
situation without regard to the in
terests with which he might come in
to conflict. You know what the rem
edies are. We are still hesitating
between a perpetual loan and lot
terry loan at low interest. Being ex-
tremely anxious to spare the state
finances, ! am firm partisan of the
latter form Of loan."

 The operator ot the "Bossum" also said the Luckenbach and the coast guard cutter Seneca, which had been ordered to the scene, had resumed their courses.
 The collision occurred IS miles south of Ambrose lightship The Edward Luckenback, an 3,00o-ton vessel, sailed from New York last night for Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. She reported only slight dam age above the water line.
