of Premier BRAND.
MIC FalI Of Briand

The Fall of BRAND
The cause of the cabinet debacle
was the resignation of Finance Mini
ster Peret and the crash of the franc
which sank today to new low level of
81 to the dollar. The franc par is a
little more than five to the dollar. 1t
has suffered a continuous decline
since the war and French financial
conditions seem to be following the
course persued by Germany.
The fall of the BRAND cabinet is an
other symptom of the instability Of
the French government, and a por-
tend of the impending chaos in Eur
ope that cannot be much longer de-
layed.
The designations were not looked
for, as in the afternoon the Chamber
of Deputies had given BRAND a vote
of confidence by a vote of 300 to
1876, upon the question of postponing
financial discussion until Thursday.
Peret Resigned.
Finance Minister Peret had resign
ed and BRAND had hoped to stall of
cabinet crisis by a new finance
minister following a vote to postpone
discussion of the deep financial cris
is.
Deserts Ship
"M. Peret met with difficulties ant
could not carry en-; BRAND told tn
Chamber AS for himself BRAND ha
declared that he would not resign. g
am not the type Of sailor who desert
the ship because the tempest is blow
ing" The tempest evidently blew
bit harder later in the day as tn
Premier did quit.
: BRAND to Try Again
In announcing the resignation,
communiQue stated:
, "The cabinet reached a unanimOu
decision that it was impossible
i simply replace M. Peret. 1t was dc
. cided that it was necessary to giN
: the President complete liberty of a
= tion."
Thus the cabinet has placed IL
{ crisis on the shoulders of Presidel
Doumergue, it being for him to- d
: eide whether a coalition cabin
! shall be formed or whether M. Bl
J. and or the leader of some other pa
y ty shall be invited to take up Il
Il task of forming a government.

Doctors Disagree
While the method of operation of
the Hospital seems to be the bone of
contention the name of DR.. StOrkan
figures in every controversy having
its source in the demand for a
change. He seems to be at variance
with the rest Of the medical practi-
TONERS with the possible exception Of
DIR. Cloud of Medicine Lake, whose
position is not clear at this time. The
Board of Control held many meetings
and tried to iron out the differences
of the warning medics but so far their
efforts have proved unavailing. The
Hospital board spends in the neigh
borhood of $500 per month for the
upkeep of the institution now, it is
said, and they are fearful that 1t
will be impossible to raise more
money from the public until matters
are adjusted.
DIR. Steele Talks.
In an interview with a News rep
resentative yesterday, DR.. Steele was
emphatic in declaring that he woulC
refuse to conduct any operations a
