A group of unemployed who
happened to be present found
that by screening the sand

mostly in nickels and dimes.
And that's not counting such
things as vanity cases and rings"

PRESIDENTIAL RACE
BY BRAND
Refuses to Be Stampeded
Into Declaring Self for Of
flee He Can Easily Get.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 9.--Aristide BRAND,
whose foreign policies we're indicated
by smashing vote in the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday, today declined to
be stampeded into declaring himself a
candidate for presidency of the re-
public.
Shortly after noon he received a dele
cation from the chamber, which asked
that he make a formal declaration Of
his candidacy, but he declined for the
time being to make any statement of
his position.
1t was understood that he told the
delegation considerations. of courtesy
made 1t necessary that he await the
action of various groups in the Senate
which will not meet before Monday.
The presidential election is on We'd
nesday.
Radicals Give Support.
The radicals lefts in the chamber ap-
pointed a delegation headed by Louis
Loucheur to call on M. BRAND, but a
formal conference was postponed. Louis
Barthou, member CT the Senate, au-
thorized the delegation to use his name
in urging BRAND to run. but he de-
clined an invitation to join it because
his Senate group has not yet met.
Some of Brands friends believe he
may not make a formal declaration of
his candidacy at all. They think he
wants the support of the right and
center groups as we'll as of the left, so
that his election. if 1T should come.
would be real expression of the will
of all the people.
BY a vote of 45O to 80 the Chamber
of Deputies last night recorded en-
phatic approval of Brands foreign
policies after a fiery debate in which
a few of M. Brands enemies made a
determined but futile stand in cppoSi-
ton to him.
Convincing Testimonial.
1t was as convincing testimonial of
popularity as any French statesman has
had in many years, and in the chamber
Hobbies there remained little doubt that
the man to whom 1t was meted may
have the highest office Of the French
republic in succession to CASTOR
Doumergue If he wishes,
The only other candidate who has
put his foot forward is the president
of the Senate, Paul Doumer, who prob
ably will be elected if M. BRAND turns
down his opportunity through pref
erence to continue in the foreign ONCE.
The vote of confidence sends M.
BRAND to the forthcoming meeting OF
the Council of the League of Nations
at Geneva with a full Endorsement of
his efforts to effect international
treaties which he claimed in debate
Yesterday had made war more d1mcult
than at any time in history.
Herriot Endorses Policies.
1t was an Endorsement also of the
foreign minister's attitude toward the
projected Austro- German economic
union, which he is expected TO oppose
in the Geneva deliberations.
In the course of yesterdays debate
Edouard Herriot mayor of Lyons and
former premier, announced his COM
plete Endorsement of the BRAND foreign
policies, move which was accepted as
a bid for the foreign office portfolio II

LONG DEPRESSION
STRAINS CHARITY

New York.-This city is confronted
by a Critical situation" because of
increased demands on family welfare
societies, reports the Welfare Coun-
Gil, clearing house for local charity
and welfare organizations.
Citizens contributed $8,00O,000 to
provide work for the heads of $4,000
families, but this money will be ex-
hausted April l.
Applications for help increased
more than three times the figure for
December, 1929, with a total for De-
cember, 1880, of 17,800," the Welfare
Council states. 'The total number of
families under care doubled in No
vember of last year over the previous
year, with total of 23,700. If the
average number of these families be
put as five, we have $4,000 persons
under care.
GAS to the future, it is impossible
to estimate accurately what the total
need will be We are told that be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 persons are
unemployed lin New York; at the
present time Not all of these are
heads of families. The enormous in
crease in applications in recent
months is indicative, however, OF
what may be expected during the next
three months, at least.
"The community must not lose
sight of the fact that no amount OF
charity will fill the tremendous voic
created when wages are not forth
coming. At best, charity can provide
a small measure of alienation since
there is no substitute for regular jobs
and pay envelopes. Failing that, emer
gency work is the next best thing
Without it an adequate relief pro
gram is impossible and the famil!
societies cannot assume responsibilit,
| for all the suffering which ma!
ensue."
