ministers salon. Here the cabinets resignation was written for pre- sentation to the president, who had been advised of the overthrow of tho government by telephone.
 For the first time in history Trance has failed to honor her sig nature," the retiring premier said. T gave proof of the affection for my country by seeking to prevent default and stalking the life of my government on lost cause"
 Royalists attempted Q hoax on Herriot during the debate. A tele- phone call came to the chamber, saying that Ramsay Macdonald's s secretary wished to speak with the premier. Ierriot went to the tele- phone, but saw through the hoax when the "secretary" recited a message from Macdonald urging France to drop her plans for pay ment.
 The paunchy, scholarly premier was never worried about his poli- tica1 fate.
 Politics is like horse race" he said between puffs at his pipe" "A good jockey must know how to fall 1th the least possible damage"
 AAViAAOs sVAu thO SAtAHADSA sAAs the French public was insufficient ly informed on the terms of the loans France received from Amer lea. They don't know that they borrowed from 60,000,000 Amer leans, and not from the govern ment," Heriot said.
 Turning to the hostile socialist and communist left wing. Herriot declared:
 You will default, thereby rob- ping France of her chance to re- ceive good treatment. You want arbitration. but our political case Is better than our juridical case. You will break the Franco-B British pact, bringing Isolation to France. with the gravest difficulties.
 When the United States agrees to debt sacrifices in favor of Bri- tain. that will oblige the United States to give the same favorable treatment to France, if France de- faults. Peace of the world, frec- dom, law and order oblige France to keep her honor with Britain and the United States. If France disre- spects her signature. what will Germany do?"

Throngs of student royalists and young patriots marched down the boulevards. There was q brisk fight in the Boulevard St Germain in which saplings were torn up and placed on streetcar tracks and shop windows were broken. Police re- ported 234 arrests during the night.
 AS Herriot rose wearily after fl hours debate and motioned for hil ministers to follow him into the minister's salon and write the gov ernment's resignation, victorious opposition deputies cheered wildly. War veterans outside, where they had spent the night in Q cold rain, formed and impromptu victory parade.
 "You are overthrowing me-" Herriot shouted to the defiant chamber as the trend of the con- fidence vote against the govern ment became obvious. "So be itl accept my fate, defending tho in- terest of my country to honor its signature!'
 Even before Herriot and his min isters had written their resignation, the chamber made its opposition to debt payment doubly sure. 500 deputies ceased their cheering long enough to approve a resolution pre- sented by the two chamber com missions refusing all debt pay ments until the United States meets debtors to discuss revision. The vote was 380 to 57.
 Herriot went down fighting after q brilliant plea for France to main- al fhn. aa n afffu rf har nnrf r rf
 Victorious opposition deputies, unmindful of anything except their overthrow of the government, cheered wildly and waved their arms as Herriot and his cabinet walked from the chamber. When news of Herriot's overthrow reached war veterans outside, they shouted and checred, embraced one another, and organized q spontan- eous, cheering parade. Police herd- cd the veterans into line, but al- lowed them to parade and shout as much as they pleased.
 The opposition, after the cheer ing ended. expressed the opinion that the next government could warn the United States that France will never pay annother cent unless Washington Immediately cuts debts payments to the bone and helps France in collecting reparations from Germany.
 Paradoxically, Herriot's six months old cabinet was defeated as the result of two measures which Herriot voted against in the cham ber, the Mellon Berenger agree mcnt and the Hoover moratorium.
 Two of Herriot's fellow leaders In the radical socialist party, Ed- ouard Daladier and Camille Chau- temps. were mentioned as likely candidates for the premiership when President Leburn starts his reformation of the government. If Loburn seeks q leader in the senate Henry Berenger, co-framer of the Mellon Berenger agreement, and Joseph Caillaux, former minister of finance, were considered likely choices. Pierre Laval was also in the background.
 Herriot and his cabinet will con- tinue 10 function technically until new government is formed.
 Herriot obviously was greatly moved and fatigued. He rose slow ly, as the vote was announced and motioned for members of his gov ernment to follow him into the

PRODUCER TALKS ABOUT FUTURE
 OF THE MOVIES
$l,OOO a Week 'Yes-Men' Should Be Replaced By 'N0-Men' or $ a Week Office Boys
By SIDNEY E. WHIPPLE United Press stafY Correspondent )


 New York, Dec 14.--(UP)---- Thousand -dollar-a-week "yes-men" ought to be thrown out of the mo- tion picture industry and be re- placed by few "n0-men," Cecil E. DeMille, eminent producer said said today.
 'Hollywood pays $50,000 Q year to somo men just to hear them agree with the boss" he said, prod ding at one of the sore spots Sof the business. "They could hire an office boy to say the same thing for $5 a week."
 DeMille's outburst against 'yes- men," however, was only q casual interlude in more glowing de- scription of the future of the movies, in which he visualized Q mode of entertainment that will &C., complish the following things:
 l. Weed out the inartistic pro- duction and put premium on art.
 2. Give entertainment seekers 8 medium 50 far superior to either stage or present-day screen produce tions that he doesn't dare contcmp- late 1t.
 8. Produce a new school of writers and actors which, taking the best of the discarded media of stage and screen. will create 0 wholly new and advanced form of art.
 "If this depression will do any, thing, at all," he said, fit will weed out the incompetents--the men who have catered to q garish dis play of ballyhoo, and forgotten Cor never knew or cared about the presentation of productions which, aside from their box-office power. were meritorious from tho artistic standpoint.
 "The era of $2,000,00o movie palaces is ending" he said. "Peo- pie shouldn't go to the movies to see tho theater or to hear the orchestra--except where the orch. estra fits the production from ar- tistic necessity. They should 20 to see the play, and the rest is in- cidental.

 Mills read from the record, q paragraph which he said showed his tax figures last year were pre- liminary.
 The dispute then turned on whether or not outside experts had proved the treasury estimates had met in full"
 They never came to me-" Mills declared, and they never came to the economic division of the treasury" Baruch. it was indlcat- cd was apparently the ''expert" to wipm Rainey referred.
 Later, Mills said MT Baruch did come to me and say your figures on tax returns are way too high and l said of course they are!"
 His Beer Estimates
 Washington, Dec 14.--(UP)-- Secretary of Treasury Mills to-day estimated that iegalized beer taxed at &5 q barrel would bring between $125, 100000 and $150.000,000 to the federal treasury in the fiscal year 1884.
 Mills laid his estimates before the house ways and means commit tee in hearing on the Collier bill to lcgaIize beer and naturally ferment- ed wine.
 He warned that beer alone would not balance the federal budget, but said "the goal is definitely in sight"
 His estimate of beer revenue was much lower than figures placed bee fore the committee by enthusiastic vets. Some of them have esti- mated the tax would bring in as much as $500, 0,000 1000.
 Mills said the Collier bill pro- visions for taxation of wines ap- peared Impossible of administra- ton in that 1t gives no working definition of what liquors are sub feet to the tax" Hence he made no estimate of wine revenue.
 The treasury secretary's prepared statement to the committee con- tained no hint as to whether Presi- dent Hoover would veto beer bill. Committeeman hoped to elicit in- formation from him on this point later.
 Mills based his revenue figurcb on an estimate that consumption of beer in 1884 would be 25,000,- 900 or 30,000.00 barrels, depend ing on the number of states In which the saie of the new bever- age will be made legal during the coming year."
 He said immediate sale Of beer was reasonably certain" in Ari- zona. California, Maryland, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, Missouri. Mon- tana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota. oregon. Penn syIvania, Rhode Island. Washington and Wisconsin.
 Mills after submitting the esti- mates turned to the budget situa- ton In general.
 He said only about $307.000, 900 of new revenue was needed to bal- ance the 1884 budget, provided economies urged by President Hoover arc adopted and provided the war debts are paid.
 Mills added that "somewhat larger" amount of new revenue would be needed '1f', as now seems probable, foreign obligations under existing agreements arc not to be meet in full"

The youth insisted he had not planned 10 shoot anyone.
 But you have to wave a pistol these days in order to get any at- tentlon," he told police.
 The pistol Kemmercr waved in the house gallery late yesterday was fully loaded and cooked. Con- gressmen on the floor took one look and then almost fell over each other in q rush for the exits---aIl but Reps Maas, Minn, Mrs Ruth Pratt, republican. N. Y..

 If appeared that the treasury will coijecct at least four-fifths of inc current debt instaIlments. Great Britain, Italy and Czecho- sIoyakin have promised ot pay. Their installments will account for about $100,000,000 of the $l25,- 900 900 due tomorrow.
 Belgium owing S2,125,000, has Joined France in default. Whether Poland, I.atvia and 'Lithuania will pay is yet unknown.
 There was slight hope In ofiiciai circles that the French chamber might yet reconsider and make an "eleventh hour payment.
 Yet, taking legal view of tho situation, one official said:
 "Thcy will not actually have de. faulted until December 15 passes
 Some government economists the comprehensive lest default lead 10 a series of defaults on conn merclal debts which might crush the worlds credit structure.
 Nor will Frances act improve Franco American relations, already somewhat strained by a contro- versy over disarmament and tar- ifs, However, an administration spokesman deprecated the idea of q serious rupture. <,
 "It may introduce q sour notc,' one administration spokesman said, "but we are not going to show an unfriendly spirit toward France--and we hope that Trance will preserve cordial relations with us."
 Possibility that France might lose popular American favor in tourist and trade patronage was discussed in some quarters. Such n trend. might quickly cost France far more than the amount of her debt installmeDt.
 Secretary of State gtimson told both Great Britain and France that payment of the current in- staIlment would provide more "favcrable approacfv for funda- mental revision of their debts. Great Britain decided to take that approach. France did not.

 the existing system of reLarations.
 "If the United States had been willing to send a representative to the Lausanne conference. G. final settlement might have been made on the spot" he commented.
 Explaining the system for to- morrow's payment. he said:
 "The Federal Reserve Bank in New York city will provide in New York the amount of gold required to meet the payment, and th. Bank of England will earmark in London simultaneously to the ac- count of the Federal Reserve an equivalent amount of gold"
 Chamberlain defended Stanley Baldwin, who negotiated the set tlement with the United States. from Spiteful chargeB' that he had foisted the war debt burden on Britain's shoulders, whereas, he actually obtained remission of debt which on the basis of five per cent. amounted 10 20 per cent of the original figure"
 The statement was cheered.
 Chamberlain gave tho house the clear impression that # there is no readjustmont by next June 16, when new payments are due, Bri- tain cannot pay further.
 He revealed that Britain had re- tected an Amarican proposal that Britain pay in bonds to be market ed in the United States. "That was not postponement," he said. It was observation-disclosures "It was another and not very agreeable way to make payment. <
 His reference to determination to avoid default was particularly cheered.

Editorial Comment

Editorial comment on the French chamber of deputies action in opposing the December debt payment to Washington follows:
 New York World-Telegram: Frances b1under cannot be justi- fled, If she made the December payment, which she fs able to do, she would be in much stronger position in requesting q reopening of debt terms. We can understand why they should be offended when we, in effect, slammed the door of discussion in their faces. This Is no time for invective. Let this nation show its boise and not out French the French.
 New York Sun: The immediate loss to the United States treasury through default of the December l5 payments by France and Bel- piun Is q matter of com paratively little importance. Almost as sig- nificant as the decision of the French chamber of deputies was the stormy decision of the British house of commons, reaching on the same day, to serve no more Amerlcan-made tnbasco sauce Tn the house of commons restaurant. Tn International as in domestic a1- fairs mood Is sometimes or more importance than mind.

Representative Hawley, repD, oregon, ranking republican mem Der of the House Ways and Means committee considered default "Vcry serious in the light of Frances utmost assurances when sia0 borrowed the money that she would repay 1t. It certainly will not increase the United States love for France"
 Both Hawley and Rainey did not believe any retalIatory steps would be undertaken.
 Senator Bingham, repn, Con- necticut: Tt Is easy to understand that the anti-American propagan- da so assiduously built up In debt- or nations has persuaded the French assembly to go on record as opposed to payment.
 'oThey forget that had we been unwilling to loan them the money they needed, when they needed 1t and on reasonable terms, the result would have been fatal to France"
