People of Paris
Beginning to Worry
Over Money Problem

Paris, July 19-(P)-The man In
the street in Paris is beginning to
feel the pinch of economic compllca-
tons resulting from the prolonged
financial crisis
For the first time since the franc
began to fall the general public has
become aroused to the extent of the
uneasiness which has been felt in Of
fetal quarters for some time. The
first manifestation of this public re-
action has been extravagant buying
of anything that will keep.
For time this tendency gave a
greater impetus to business general
~. AS the franc continued to 60
down. however, merchants became
alarmed at the intense buying move
ment and showed less anxiety to in
crease~their business turnover. Some
houses have taken advantage of the
excuse of summer closing, which
used to be general, and some trades
have shut up shop.
Factories in several lines are faced
with the problem Of whether it IS

ducing, since as fast as they sell
raw materials the increase in price
deranges their schedules and makes
profits only for those who already
have bought goods.
The general public which has been
quietly getting rid of paper francs
and putting in stores of provis % s
for some time now finds it more dll-
ficult TO buy. This object lesson In
finances has done more to open the
eyes of the average citizen to the
seriousness of the situation than
anything that has happened in the
past two years.
Evidences of i'll humor on the part
Of Parisians is now cropping out in
different ways. The crowds thai
gathered around the chamber Of
deputies during every ministerial
crisis. instead of being good humored
and inoffensive as usual, are now
showing some temper, necessitatine
the reinforcement of guards and
more stringent regulations.
While the growing Impotence Of
the people is causing anxiety in Off :
cial quarters, it is hailed by MAJ !
followers of the situation as a well
come development since it is regard
ed as the thing best calculated to
spur parliament to effective action.

The problems the Herriot govern
ment has to face are the same as
in 1924, though aggravated by age.
When Herriot FIRST took power. he
found the dollar at Is; now he finds
it at 46.42 francs. When he con-
fronts the chamber at the head Of
new combination he will have to
answer the charge of the opposition
that the decline Of the franc in the

supporters to every measure propos-
ed by the succeeding governments

The life of the new cabinet is ex-

is the opinion in all political groups,
including Herriots own party, be-
cause the premier will again have
