Briand sacred union" Cabinet in 1916. He was transferred to the War Department when Ribot suc- ceeded Briand in 1917, and be- came Premier when Ribot fell from power the same year.
 Painleve was called upon to ad- minister the War Department at @ most critical stage of the hos talities. Russia was defaulting and the people of France were, through their representatives in Parliament, demanding greater ac- tivity on the part of the army. A combined offensive by the Army of France on the Aisne and by the British on the Somme, planned for early Spring, but put off until the middle of April, failed to produce the desired results. Painleve was blamed for bringing the attacks to a stop. He retorted by reliev- ing General Mangin of his com mand. The controversy growing out of these developments contin- ued long afterward. The only clear and undisputed fact in con- nection herewith is that Painleve then inaugurated the policy of waiting for the Americans" He declared that the French army would undertake no more offen- sives on an important scale but would wait until reinforced by the American Expeditionary Force.
 Falls From Power
 He fell from power a few weeks later to return only after the vic tory in 1924 of the coalition of Radicals, Republican Socialists and Socialists of which he was the rec- ognized parent. Elected President of the Chamber of Deputies in June, he showed his audacity by pronouncing a speech that was in- terpreted as notice to all adversar- ies of the new coalition that they must make room in public places for the victors. He was the can didate of the coalition for the high est of those places, the Presidency of the Republic, after the new majority in the Chamber had forced President Millerand to re- sign. He was defeated by Cas- ton Doumergue, President of the Senate.
 Painleve formed his second cab inst in 1925 when Herriot was ov- erturned He staggered politlcal circles by calling Joseph Callieux back from exile to be his Minis ter of Finance. He again startled the country by forcing CalliauS to abandon the post and finally stumbled and fell himself on the same obstacle that had caused Jhe downfall of the Herriot Cabinet the capital levy.
 The elasticity and suppleness of Painleve as politician was shown when, after having thwarted Bri- and's efforts to form his eleventh cabinet by refusing to accept a portfolio alongside Monsieur Poin- care, he then became Minister of War in Monsieur Poincare's "Save the Franc" cabinet. Pain tleve was born December 5, 1863. |

PECORA TO SKETCH
SCOPE OF INQUIRY
Confers With Fletcher Today
After Months of Digging
for New Evidence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ferdinand Pecora, counsel to the
Senate Banking Committee in connec-
ton with its investigation into wan
Street practices, today was to outline
to Chairman Fletcher the results of
months of under-cover digging into the
books of leading New York banks.
Pecora will assist Senator Fletcher In
drafting program for resumption to-
morrow Of the hearings. which the
chairman announced will continue for
the next two months, SO a report may
be ready for the Senate when 1t con.
venes in January.
Reports of sensational evidence have
reached washington ahead Of Pecogs,
but members of the committee have
disclaimed any knowledge Of what the
counsel and his staff of aides have
found.
Pecora Keeps Silence.
The committee counsel, who gained
Nationwide notice for his conduct of
previous inquiries into ]. P MORGAN A.
Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the Ma
tlonal City Bank, has said nothing.
Pecora gives no hints ahead Of time,
and places his evidence in the record
before talking.
he Is known, however, to have spent
most OF the last three months scrutiniz-
ing the books Of Dillon, Read 81 Co.,
and probably will open the hearings
With presentation Of evidence in con-
nection with that firms operations.
Dillon. Read g. Co.. though not as
OLD as some Of its competitors in the
private banking field, is reported to
have done as great a volume of busi-
ness during the boom years as any Of
them.
It is the transactions during this
period on which the committee Is con-
centrating, and Pecora has reported to
committee headquarters the volume OF
business handled by this frm has pre-
sented him with one Of his most DIM
cult tasks
To Finish Earlier Work.
In connection with the Dillon Read
operations, the committee probably will
dispose of final phases Of its hangover
inquiries into the Morgan and Kuhn
Loeb firms
Then 1t expects to 60 into the opera
tions OF the Chase Securities Corpora
tlon, security affiliate Of the Chase Ma
tional Bank. which also has attracted
much Of Pecora's attention since the
last hearings in June.
One Of the things to be settled at
today's conference is how far the COM
mittee will go into Stock Exchange
operations and practices Fletcher and
Pecora both have announced an inten-
ton to return to that phase of the in
quiry which the committee previously
touched on early in the investigation.
Such an inquiry has more complica-
tions. however. and Is more involved
than q mere study of a single firms
operations and the investisative chiefs
must decide how much time and money
can be devoted to the subject.

but they see no reason to delegate the
whole disarmament problem to them
or to shift the negotiations from
Geneva to Stresa.
q. S. Attitude Supported.
The Americans are vitally interested
in disarmament. They believe that the
place and the time to push the treaty
to successful conclusion is here and
now. In this attitude the United
States is not alone.

Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Ru-
manta) never liked the four-power pact
They consider it an unjustifiable at
tempt at European hegemony. They
note with resentment that 1t completely
ignores the Slav interests in Europe
Now that Russia and Poland are such
close friends, Europes principal Slav
community is once more cooperating
The Russians. Poles, Yugoslavs and
Czechs had several meetings during the
last few days with the view of resisting
the four-power disarmament theory by
insistence on the continuance of the
negotiations Immediately within the
framework Of the League by preparing
counter-proposals to those which the
powers. though without yet agreeing
among themselves, are supposed to be
considering.
Counter Attack Mapped.
1t is believed that Russian FOREIGN
Commissar Maxim Iitvinov, seconded
by the Polish foreign minister, Col.
Joseph Beck. will lead the counter at
tack on the four-power idea.
The United States, without wishing
to become involved in this new con-
troversy, sympathizes with the views
held in this respect by Poland, and
Norman H. Davis, chief American dis
armament delegate, in long private
talk with Col. Beck seems to have made
this plain.
In these circumstances the Germans
and Italians desire to adjourn the con-
ference once more and talk meanwhile
among the four powers only seemingly
