1t now develops that the socialists.
who constitute the strongest single;
party in the chamber, will form a new
government about June 1. This party
has refused until now to form a gov
eminent on the ground that the cab

chamber. That rule now exists, and
SO the socialists are willing to try
They have already designated as the
new prime minister Leon Blum, the
head of their party.
1t appears that the financial and
industrial world of France is stricken
with fright as result of the strong
leftist victories at the election: they
fear that devaluation of the franc
will result; that France may leave
the gold standard, and so on. Blum
already has assured the country that
his party is against devaluation, but
he has added the pointed comment
that the present fright of big bust
ness and big finance is Intentionally
so manipulated as to undermine con-
fidence in the prospective anti-fascist
government. He ana MS associates
charge that price fluctuations and the
expectation of French gold are engi-
neered for the sole purpose of making
it difficult for a socialist regime to
exist. There are good many outside
and unbiased observers who feel the
same way about it. But they feel,
too, that conditions being what they
are in France just now, a very radical
change is not only justified but abso-
lutely necessary.

OWN IN INTEREST
Minor League Head Points
to Healthy Condition in
Smaller Loops.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated freSS.
CT. LOUIS. March 25-The ma
tional pastime still is holding
its own.
In the opinion Of Judge Will
liam @. Bramham. president of the
National Minor League Base Ball Asso-
station. there has been no decline in
base ball interest in the smaller COM
munities of the country. either on the
part Of spectators or of boys wishing
to enter the game professionally.
Perhaps the healthiest sign about
the minor league situation. Bramham
said here, Is the growth in the number
Of leagues in the lower claSsiflcations,
that is classes c and D, which are the
kindergartens Of base ball.
There are four or five class D
Leagues being formed now and of the
25 or more minor circuits all but seven
are in the three lower groups, B, c and
D, he said.
Still Attracting Youths.
T Asst year there were 1000 players
signed 10 HrSC year contracts ana
there has been no decrease in the
number of young men seeking to enter
base ball this season, according to
Bramham.
Might base ball" he added, proved
the salvation of many small leagues
during the depression period"
The league president said his only
worry about the coming Summer is
that 1t is election year. notoriously
bad for minor league clubs.
Perhaps too many fans will be out
working for election rather than pay
ing attention to base ball. But think
they will be found good many times
sitting in the bleachers or the grand
stands around the country"
