CABINET OUT;
PARIS FEARS
NEWR|OTS.
Doumergue Quits Following
Finance Row; FIandin to
Try Forming Ministry

PARIS, Nov. 8 G.N.S0 Pierre
Etienne Flandin, former minister
of finance, today accepted the
task of forming a cabinet to sue
coed that of Premier CASTOR
Doumergue. He accepted provi-
Sionally after being summoned by
President Lebrun, but deferred
formal acceptance until he had
had an opportunity to confer with
party leaders.
The premier designate issued a
communique announcing be had
the moral support of Mr.. Dou-
mergue.
It was reported former Premier
Pierre Laval would be made for
eign minister. Marshal Henry Pc
tain and former Premier Edouard
Herriott, leader of the Radical So
cialist party, we're represented as
DESTROYS of staying out. M. Her
riot, however, was expected to be
willing to have other members Of
his party included in the new gov
eminent.
Laval Shuns Task
M. Flandin's acceptance was
after former Premier Laval
and Fernand BuiSSon, president
of the Chamber of Deputies, had
declined the assignment.
Mass resignation of the six
Radical Socialist members of his
cabinet, who refused to vote the
credits M. Doumergue felt were
needed to carry France through
the first three months of the new
year, precipitated his second re-
tirement from the political arena.
He wrote to President Lebrun

fuse to head a minority govern
ment, which would be contrary
to my parliamentary and DEM
Ocratic principles"
M. Doumergue held or e r
Premier Herriot responsible Tor
the collapse of his government.
M. Herriot had led the attack
against M. Doumergue's demand
for new credits, demanding in
stead immediate consideration of
the budget. M. Herriot in turn
criticized M. Doumergue's scheme
for constitutional reforms and his
inSiStence upon new credits.

governmental crisis. Unusually

Alarmed over the influx Of

Under the terms of the new ordi-

orators of gambling resorts.
With the renewed police activ-

place additional money at the
disposal of member banks so they
might make additional loans to

Investment Holdings
The governments purchases,
according to officials, were not
designed to support the bond
market, but rather for invest
ment purposes in the various
trust funds.
Holdings for investment pur-
poses were given as follows:
Postal saving system, Ais mil

credit agencies, 1873 millions:
civil service and other retirement
funds. 286 millions; adjusted

20 millions.
There has been no important
change in the Government Sc
curity holdings of the Federal Re-
serve Banks in many months.
Open Market Purchases
Open market purchases were
conducted over a long period in
the hope that the additional funds
thus made available to the mem
Der banks would stimulate liberal
extension of credit. However,
there was no expansion of credit.
Some authorities insisted that
there was no real demand for
loans, while other asserted that
the banks refused to make loans
on the available collateral.

about $5,OO0,O0O a year on invest

In addition the Government is
