BRANDS MINISTRY
QUITS FOLLOWING
PERET RESIGNATION
Acts to Give Doumergue Free
Hand in Crisis Caused by
Financial Plans.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 15.-Aristide Brands
ninth cabinet has ended. The min
istrys resignation was placed In the
hands Of President Doumergue at z
o'clock this evening.
A communique was issued stating
that the cabinet was unanimous In its
decision. The ministers, after ex-
amininE the situation caused by the
resignation OF Finance Minister Peret
this morning. decided 1t was best to
give President Doumergue full liberty
Of action.
Finance Minister Peret this morn.
ing withdrew from the government.
The causes of NJ. Peret's retirement
were Premier Brands refusal to form
national union" government, with
all parties represented, and resistance
both inside and outside the cabinet to
some of his projects. which were
thought to amount to imitation.
Urged to Continue.
NJ. Peret resisted the earnest per-
suasion Of President Doumergue to re-
main in the cabinet, because he felt II
was impossible to continue in the face
of increasing difficulties without sum
cient support.
The Opposition inside the govern
ment came from the Radical ministers
who were continually urged to resist
PAret's plans by their colleagues ir
the Radical group of the chamber
which never willingly accepted ths
BRAND cabinet.
Indiscretion by some member,
caused a violent press campaign
against the imitation, which, according
to Peret's critics. was involved In Tho
finance ministers scheme to put the
paper money circulation and short
term bonds in the same basket.
NJ. Peret proposed to announce that
their money, would be paid in addition
al issues Of paper currency-that is
to say. the paper circulation would be
increased in the same ratio as bonds
were reimbursed.
Sought Bonds Renewal.
This announcement, he held, would
induce holders to renew their bonds
and II they did not the government
would simply transform the bonds
into non-interest paying paper money
The franc, which went as low as
$3.50 to the dollar during the after
noon, closed on the bourse at 1854,
the lowest ofiicial quotation ever
made. 1t closed at 35.49 yesterday
The resignation OF Finance Minister
Peret seemed to have little effect upon
the exchange.
The improvement from $3.50 to
1854 during the late afternoon was
due largely to heavy buying by Amer
lean and British tourists and by
French importers having mid-June OBJ
legations to meet or making provisions
for settlements at the end Of the
month.
Just before bank closing time the
franc slumped again to 36.o5 to the
dollar.

Please favor the child and sup

Please bear in mind also that

weekly to the Co. Supt. the exact
percentage of both attendance
and punctuality attained by each
school. During the past two

weeks the combination percentage
thus attained has been approx

sidered par-excellent; however If
the parents might exercise just q
little more interest and school
pride then even this high record
might be raised. 1t seems quite
possible that all children might
reach school not later than $3.50

parents who unfortunately permit
