cial apprehension of possible none

ness today it had nothing to fear

rich" policy was contemplated under
the new regime, Blum announced:
1.-THE peoples front government will
direct all its efforts to recreating
prosperity and reviving sources of ma
tional activity.
This would be impossible without
large credit within the country. Thus,
by exercising violence and provoking
trouble and tumult, we would be go
ing against our object"
Blum, whose party won the greatest
representation in the elections for a
new Chamber of Deputies, made his
announcement after comforting last
night with Premier Albert Sarraut
and Edouard Daladier, Radical-So-
cialist party President.

give full outline of his party's pro-
gram after an Executive Committee
meeting tomorrow, when Leftist dem
onstrationS may be held.

cuss the situation late today with

shipments abroad and wide fluctua-
tionS on the Stock Exchange reflected

dollars in outstanding warrants, an
increase of over a half million dol

withstanding the elimination of es-
sential service and the gradual de-
ter Grafton of the city owned build
ings, properties and equipment. He
pointed out that the citizens of Sc
attic are contributing today to the
state in various forms of taxation
nearly three times as much as we
do for our own city. The gasoline
tax alone paid in by Seattle am
cunts to nearly three and half
million dollars. Levine urged a re-
adjustment of the tax dollar, SO
that Seattle nay get fairer share
of the money paid. This would
eliminate any need for new or So
called nuisance taxes and would
permit the city to furnish essential
service and strengthen our finan-
cial structure.
