PARIS, Nov. 12.-President Albert
I.ebrun appealed to the French
nation today to accept with "disci-
pline and goodwill" the sacrifices
that it will be called upon to make
in order to rebuild her strength and
preserve democratic government.
The sacrifices will be outlined to-
night when Finance Minister Paul
Reynaud tells the people by radio
OF the reforms contained in 80
financial and economic DEGREES to
the published in the official journal
tomorrow.
President Lebrun spoke at q
luncheon by the government to war
veterans at big Paris amusement
park. He said the time had come
to recognize that dreams of inter-
national harmony under the leader
ship of the League of Nations were
premature.
Under existing conditions he said
France must repair the hole in her
ornaments and be strong financially
and economically.
Strong Government Asked.
The decisions the ministry of
Premier Edouard Daladier are about
to take are based on the necessity
expressed by a delegation of 200
representatives of the veterans them
selves who appealed for a strong
government, M. Lebrun said.
NJ Daladier, also addressing the
veterans, warned the people that the
government will not only ask their
cooperation, but will demand it if
necessary.
Tomorrow. he said, "We will say to
all the hour has come to choose
between our countrys slow deca-
dence or a reawakening by virtue
of it's effort"
The President and premier spoke
after the cabinet had met to con-
slider M. Reynaud's program and ad-
journment without making a state
ment.
Reynaud Plans Appeal.
M. Reynaud planned an appeal
to the nation to back his program
often described by Deputies as prom
ising the last chance to save the ira
ditional way of government in
France.
1t was reported the measure would
include an increase in taxation on
foreigners living in France.
M. Reynaud submitted to the cab
met three point program designed
to halt the steady weakening of the
country's money. finances, commerce
and industry. The proposed reforms
would be promulgated under Premier
Daladier's decree powers.
M. Daladier and his ministers ap-
proved the measures individually in
conferences with NJ Reynaud prior
to the formal cabinet consideration
Three Main Considerations.
Three main considerations in
spired the program:
Drastic economies in government
spending.
Revision of taxes to produce more
government revenue
Stimulation of French commerce
and industry to increase national
revenue
Among the measures were tax
on corporation reserves and an
excess profits tax on industries work
ing for the national defense.
Expenditures for the state-owned
railways were due for heavy cuts
The building industry will be en-
couraged with an easy money policy
for industry and commerce.
The program also called for longer
working hours. with pay for over
time, to replace the 40-hour week
instituted by the Peoples Front
and revaluation of gold in the Bank
of France to give the government a
paper profit of approximately 35,-
000, 100000 francs 1927 500 O0O.

that their electon machinery is honestly functioning or point out any illegal practices. If froud ol electoral corruption is uncovered the guilty s..ould be prosecuted and properly punished. The citi- zens of this city have no chance to take proper steps to assure clean elections unless they know how past elections have been con- ducted.
 While the c. G. c. A. recognizes the importance of punishing any who have in the past conspired against the city, 1t believes it is of equal importance to make certain that future elections will be hon. estly conducted. To do that we must ask States Attorney Alcorn and the grand jury to make fur ther sacrifices for the common good by continuing their investi- gation until every person guilty of an illegal act has been brought to the bar of justice. If any evil dence of fraud or electoral corrup- tion should be uncovered by the grand jury in the course of an in- vestigation into the last election. we believe the people of Waterbury should have a special election. with the chance of cleaning up their municipal affairs.
 The above is not only the sen- timent of the thousands of mem bers of the 0. G. G. A. but of many others who are interested in good government and the well fare of their city.
 We have confidence that States Attorney Alcorn and the grand jury will finish their job and will not let us down.

' the october election Ito assure the people that their election machin- cry is honestly functioning or point out any illegal practices"
 Report Pending
 While the grand jury, which re- gently called for arrest of 27 per- sons on charges of conspiracy to defraud the city and named numer. ous more officials of the state, city and county, Republican and Dem- ocratic, was expected to file some report on the last Waterbury elec- tion, it has not done 50 as yet. That such a consideration will come be- fore the jury when it reconvenes Tuesday, has been predicted by war; tous of the investigators.
 But fact that photostatic copies of the voting lists were obtained, election records were scrutinized, months ago by the investigators, be- fore MT. Alcorn returned from his vacation and opened the grand jury proceedings, did not develop this aspect of the investigation in the jury report.
 While some observers commented today that their belief is MT. Alcorn and the jury failed to find cause to make accusations relating to the election, another report was that the grand jury had found certain evi- dence but plans elaborating the in- vestigation in successive weeks. One report from an unusually reliable source was that none of the four witnesses called just before the grand jury recessed Tuesday had ap- peared.
 Need Tieups
 Another was that the grand jury men had listened to one witness's story and that they had learned the trail which they would have to take involved persons directly concerned with the general investigation. This was said to have caused the recess such time as the investigators might pick up other trails more likely to "tie in" persons against whom some charges have been made, publicly or privately.
 The call of the Good Government Association for 8 probe of the elec- tion is made without reference to any of the factions involved in the campaign last October. It does not, for instance, remark on the recount of the machines or the results, the court aftermath and the finding that the election totals, as rendered, were correct.
 Communica ton
 The communication is printed, in full. as follows:
 The members of the Citizens Good Government Association be- Hove that good government calls for clean elections. If illegal prac- tices have occurred in recent elec- tions, now is the time to bring them to light and take steps to correct them.
 The grand jury and States At- torney Alcorn and his staff have done a service of great value to the people of Waterbury in ex- posing the corruption in our city government. At a great personal sacrifice the members of the grand jury have faithfully probed every slimy trail that has been uncov- cred and have made a report of great length showing how our trusted officials have miSlead us. But we beg them not to leave their work half finished
 If the people of Waterbury are to have confidence in their offi- cials elected in the future, they must be assured that they are honestly elected. To be certain of that they must ask that the grand jury and the States Attor- ney look into every phase of the last election and assure the people
