HERRIOT SPEEDS
MINISTRY PLANS
Will Outline Proposed Policies
Tonight
Paris, July 21 Up - Edouard

Paris, July 21 up - Edouard
Herriot, the new premier, has re-
solved to bring his ministry before
the chamber of deputies tonight
instead of Thursday and have the
ministerial declaration read.
This decision was arrived at late
last night after a sitting of the
cabinet council had conference
with President Doumergue and NJ.
Moreau, governor Of the bank of
France. The new ministers were
understood to have considered the
situation of the French treasury to
be so serious that no time should
be lost in obtaining from parlia-
ment authority to take remedial
measures. Both houses OF parlia-
ment were therefore summoned to
meet at o'clock this afternoon.
What remedial measures are to
be asked are not exactly known.
for the government has issued a
| comprehensive denial OF all the
measures attributed to ii, as well
- other reports flying about. These
included one that the ministry was
about to resign, owing to divergen-
cies Of opinion between the min
listers, without appearing before the
chamber and another that physi-
cal attack had been made upon NJ.
Herriot.
1t appears, however. that the
government favors consolidation of
| the floating debt and a moratorium
| to relieve the growing pressure
upon the treasury. Whatever the
program is, however, Premier Her
riot will make 1t question of con-
fidence and ask the chamber to
| signify whether 1t supports his way
of thinking or not without further
delay.
Works All Night
The governments eleventh hour
| change of plan to go before the
| chamber compelled NJ. De Monte,
| the new minister of finance, to
spend all last night in completing
| his financial measures, the broad

last nights cabinet council. The
finished article will be submitted
for final approval by the cabinet
this afternoon, just prior to being
read to parliament. Meanwhile M.
! Herriot is to have another CONVEX
sation with M. Moreau. The minis
terial statement Of policy proper,
1t is understood, consists of not
more than so lines, serving as
preface to NJ. De Monzie's financial
proposal.
Today the Hobbies of both houses
of parliament seethed with excite
I ment. Party groups met continuous
/ ly discussing the line of conduct to
| be followed. Even the oldest hands
in politics were unable to say this
morning whether the cabinet of M.
Herriot would have a small ma
| jority or be beaten. The fact that
/ the chamber yesterday restored the
| secret ballot in the election of its
| president against the wishes of the
| Cartellists was regarded by some
| persons today as an indication that
| tonight's vote in the chamber on
the governments program would
go against NJ. Herriot. The secret
ballot was restored by vote of
274 10 233.
Meantime there has been no
abatement in the demand in bust
| ness and other circles for a com
| mittee of public safety" with full
powers to act TO relieve the parlous
situation growing out of the fall of
the franc TO unheard of levels and
eliminating in a general disloca-
ton Of business and manifestations
by crowds in the streets, particu-
| larly against Americans.

| staunch supporters of NJ. Herriot.
