TO GET FRANCE.
out OF CRISIS
Socialist Will Seek
Mixed Cabinet
BY KENETH T. DOWNS

PARIS, March 10 Q.N.S0.
Leon Blum, whose socialist party
brought about the collapse of the
government of Camille Chau-
temps, today accepted the task of
forming a cabinet and trying to
pull France out of her financial
crisis.
With the franc plunging swiftly
to new lows, Chautemps and his
popular front" coalition resigned
this morning, when the socialists
refused to vote him emergency
financial powers.
FACES DIFFICULT TASK
Blum, who headed the first left
list concentration government that
France ever had, Immediately
went about the difficult work OF
linking up his ministers.
President LeBrun asked me
to form q cabinet" said Blum
as he emerged from the Elyee
Palace after a feverish day Of
conferences. Il am resolved TO
carry through to the very end
the task confided to me"
IT shall strive to constitute a
government which the circun1-
stances necessitate-which will
be a stable, durable, powerful
government capable of rallying
all the forces Of democracy"
CONSULTS LEFTIST HEAD
First he summoned Jules jean
neney, president Of the left demo.
cratic group and . former min
lister.
Edouard Herriot, head of the
strong radical socialist party, who
had first been considered for the
premiership today, then talked
with Blum. They were followed
by Chautemps and Edouard Dala-
dier, also a former premier who is
now charged with the task Of CO.
ordinating French defense.
Like the. Chautemps cabinet, it
was regarded as a practical GER
tainty that the Blum government
would contain no Communists.
After delivering a Swan song"
statement before the chamber Of
deputies, Chautemps and his cabi.
net colleagues went to the Elysee
Palace to deliver their designations
to President Lebrun.
FRANC HITS NEW LOW
Even before ChautempS left the
chamber the franc slid to a new
low of 1891 to the pound sterling.
A few minutes later, continuing
its decline, the franc fell to 1895
to the pound and 31.84 to the
dollar.
There was every indication that
the entire governmental complex
ion of the nation may be changed
as a result of Chautemps' resig-
nation. During the next "a hours
