ing treasury, widespread protest meet

demonstrations greeted the new cabi-
net of Premier Camille Chautemps to-
day
The members took Office early this
morning after formal presentation to
President Albert LIE Brun.
No sooner had they officially entered
Office than Finance Minister Georges
Bonnet told Bank of France officials
that the government could meet its
debts only until December Is.
To meet the situation the cabinet be-
gan preparing program contemplating
saving 5000 100000 francs (about $400,-
000,000) through economies and tap
ping new resources to raise more funds.
At the same time, it was made known
the cabinet planned to demand decree
of power to cut the pay of functionaries
"a matter which has been a bone of
bitter contention in the chamber of
deputies.

bread demonstrations in which 80 900
miners marched, urging official action

the one it succeeded, and apparently

This date was mentioned because
Herriot has insisted he would not re-
enter the Office until after December
