OFFER FINANCE POST

BRAND offered Joseph Caillaux
the Ministry of Finance in his new
cabinet. 1t is believed that Gail
laux will accept.
BRAND is eager to return to Ge-
neva, where the affairs of the Lea
que of Nations are in such shape
that his presence. or at least the
presence of some French spokesman
in authority, is essential to the well
fare of the league. BRAND has
been told that only he could form
ministry in time to be of assis-
tarhce at Geneva. This is the
strongest argument which could be
brought to him.
Caillaux is ready to bury his am
bition for the time being and to
work with BRAND, probably as
Minister of Finance. BRAND 9

Anatole de Monse as Minister Of

Grafton of the district, and that an
increase in salaries granted to many
employees is being contributed by
them to help defray the expense of

tor from Calexico, yesterday after
noon introduced resolution at the
board of directors meeting, calling
for the discharge of the alleged non
essential employees, and the discon-
tinuance Of the alleged contribu-

The resolution offered by Brock
man failed to meet with any action,
as none of the other directors would
second the Calexico directors mo-

Berry, who is purchasing agent
for the district, is not conducting
his department in harmony with

asserts, and is thereby causing dis

resolution recommends that
change be made in the personnel of
this department.

PARIS, Mar. 9.-Aristide BRAND

government. BRAND again comes
to the biggest job in France handi-
capped by his GA years, but possess
ed of prestige such as no other
French politician could claim at the
moment.
If he succeeds in Paris, the poll

Will Report Tonight
BRAND will tell President Doum-
ergue tonight whether or not he can
succeed in the task of forming Il
cabinet. He announced, following
his acceptance, that he did so
especially because of the situation
at Geneva.
After three days of surly dcclara-
tions that he would not take the re-
sponsibility of forming govern
ment to succeed himself because he
attributed his defeat to shortsight-

seek a new. ministry within an hour

Preparing facilities for manufac-

to its plants and equipment In the

These additions are being made
under the $10,000,000 expansion
program announced recently by w:
s. Knudsen, president and general
manager of the company.
The addition to the huge motor
plant at Flint is now well under
way. New machinery for making
cylinders, cam shafts and small parts
is arriving daily and extensive en-
largements are being made at the
Flint sheet metal division. A build
ing 206 feet long by 134 feet WIDE
is under construction to increase
production at the Toledo trahsnIs-
sion plant. Enlargement Of the neat

New buildings and the erection of
