M. Lamoureux, reporter of the finence commission of the chamber, announced tonight that he has ad- yised President Doumergue to invite M, Briand to reform a cabinet. There fs considerable doubt whether Briand would be willing. The president summoned the lead- ers of the finance commissions of both the senate and chamber, to get their views of a.man who could offer a financial project possible of accept- ance, M. Blum of the yellow socialist party and M. Malvy were also called into conference. “The situation is exceedingly foggy, and T-won't venture any prognostica- tions,” said 18. Danielou, former min- jster of merchant marine, after he had seen the president. ‘There were no indications tonight of the early formation of a govern- ment, and it may be that the Geneva dispute, which awaits a new French government's appointment, may be continued for several days.

The four strikers were discharged, together with eight others arrested last week. Four other striking furriers were discharged in Coney Island court after having been arrested for disor derly conduct.

A prominent preacher declares there will not be anyone left to look after the spiritual needs of the thousands of foreign residents, Tejeda stated that most of the states have assured the president that the constitutional provision for- bidding foreign priests and ministers will be strictly enforced. The govern- ment has appointed inspectors to see that the churches comply with the law, These officials will salso check up on the whereabouts of the priests and ministers, Many are in hiding and a house-to-house hunt is going on. OWners of houses decorated with mourning’ etepé because of the catholic expulsions are being listed. Arrests will probably follow on the charge of seeking to incite disorder. Seize Church Property. Much yaluable property of the Ro- man catholic church has already come into the possession of the government by seizure. None of this will be re- turned until the’church recognizes the national ownership of it, as provided for in the constitution, Church pro- perty in Mexico if estimated at over $5,500,000, f The Roman catholic church has not rendered for years the annual ac- counts of property used for religious purposes required by the law.

The most favored “third ‘choice, is Deputy Raoul Perét, whose powerful appeal for the government has thrust him suddenly into the limelight, Peret, backed by a cabinet including Briand and Caillaux, would, constitute, a form- idable alliance.

Both of |them eager to serve their masters, the bourgeoisie, the masses that formerly supported the Herriot left combina- tion are now restless and vehemently demanding dissolution of the chamber and new elections, * The Communists are insistent in their demands for new elections as they feel that the country can be aroused against the whole clique-— Brignd-Caillaux-Poincare-Herriot-Peret —of agents of the imperialists.

This is the first time a British sol- dier has been punished in India for drunkenness, tho the peasants have had to suffer continually from out- rages perpetrated by them while in that condition. While the general opinion among the natives is that the sentence is too light, the army circles consider it as too severe.

NEW YORK EDITION Price 3 Cents N FRENCH CRISIS + ‘LEAGUE FACES DEADLOCK OVER ENLARGEMENT French Crisis Makes Matters Worse (Special to The Daily Worker) GENEVA, March 8. — Facing the most severe test of its career, the league of nations is today marking time, pending settlement of the French cabinet crisis. Dispute over the proposed enlarge- ment of the league council cannot be settled until France has a govern: ment. Alfonso Costa of Portugal, who waa the candidate of the Latin-American delegates, was elected president of the assembly by 36 to 12, Beyond the appeal to the United States, which is renewed at a time when the admission of Germany is doubtful and Spain is threatening to withdraw, the assembly session was purely formal, The assembly adjourned after Costa had made his inaugural speech, and there was no mention made of the dispute over seats on the council. Leaders of the disputing factions are still conferring privately, and the atmosphere is tense as rumors are circulated of “agreements” and “rup- tures.” These rumors are without foundation, it is learned and there is little likelihood of any settlement until France has chosen a govern- ment and her delegates are free to negotiate. Germany Stands Pat. Germany declines to enter the league until the council question is jetted, and demands that she be the only new nation admitted to the coun- cil. France insists upon Spain, and per- Raps one other nation being given a seat and her delegates are not willing to recede from this position until they have the backing of a government. Spain threatens to quit the league entirely if her request for a seat on the ‘council is rejected. Sweden is bitterly opposing the ex- pansion of the council. Latin-American countries are re- ported ready to follow Spain if she quits the league. May Scrap Locarno. Even the Locarno treaties may go by the boards if the league fails te settle its crisis. Under the provisions of these treaties Germany was to be- come a member of the league, and if Germany now refuses to enter the league the Locarno treaties may be considered ineffective. Conferences yesterday between the representatives of France, Great Britain and Germany came to a climax when Dr. Stresemann is reported to have intimated that Germany feels she is being tricked by the plans to enlarge the league council. He insist- ed that at Locarno he was promised that Germany would alone be admitted to the council, and now he claims that France wants the addition of other nations so as to offset the power of Germany. M. Briand and Sir Austen Chamber- lain responded to this with the state- ment that the admission of Spain to the council had been under considera- tion for several years. Talk Disarmament, While it is improbable that there will be any definite action taken pend- ing the settlement of the question of Germany's admission, the agenda calls for discussion of plans for an econ- omic conference, settlement of a date for the preliminary disarmament con- ference, measures to prevent further border clashes between Greece and Bulgaria, final approval of the ex tension of the British mandate over Irak and the financial rehabilitation of Hungary. All of these questions pale into insignificance, however, while the big problem of Germany and the council seats awaits ‘settlement, Foil Plot of White Slavers in Norway OSLO, Norway, March 8, — The police have uncovered a plot to ship young Norwegian girls abroad for im- moral purposes on a large scale, The white slavers had made arrangements for the transportation out of the coun- ty.of a hundred girls, They were on the point of leaving when the police Who had just learned of the scheme argiyed at the dock, Sensational ex- posuges effecting prominent mea ee expected, t NY oer
