18 HERRIOT IS SEEKING TOASSURE CAPITAL Wants to Abolish Even Pres- ent Control of Securities. | Speech Not Impressive. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. PARIS, February 17.—Premier Her- riott's speech Monday night, which had been awalted anxiously by every one and was expected to herald new and sweeping measures to attempt to stabllize the franc, made no Rreat impressfon. It was a moderate state- ment about the unavoidable causes of the decline of French currency, and the announcement of mild measures which would be taken to prevent the further flight of French money out of the country. Premier Herrlot, realizing that dras- tic measures in a time of crisis would produce confusion and incite evasion on the part of capltal, Is taking steps to abolish even the present control of securities, hoping thus to inspire the confidence of the wealthy class. Aceused by Socialists. This decision, which will be put be- fore the chamber in the course of the next few days, does not meet the ap- proval of the Socialist majority who openly accuse Premier Herriot of “not playing fair”" Their fear of his betraying the “Socialist cause” was quieted by members of Parllament friendly to the premier, who told the suspicious Socialists that “Monday's speech was necessary for the sake of preventing a stampede, but if the capitalists continue the wholesale ex- ploitation of France, in spite of the moderation shown by the cabinet, Premler Herrlot will come before the chamber with really drastic meas- ures." It is a fact that the French premier and his colleagues forming the pres- ent cabinet have never accepted the principle of the capital levy, conse- Quently there is no reason why the wealthy French should think their money was safer abroad than here, unless one accepts the explanation given Monday afternoon by M. Heraut, & young deputy belonging to the Con- servatives, when he said: ~“M. Herrlot, we all trust you, but unfortunately you are not alone in governing the country, and we fear the red shadows w] we think we can see behind you.” (Copyright, 1925, by Chicago Daily News Co.) TALK NOT EFFECTIVE. Little Response to Herriot's Plea for “Sacred Union.” By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 17.—"Herriot Con- demns Herrlot,”” s the caption of an article published by the newspaper L'Avenir, in which Deputy Andre Francols Poncet, one of the leaders of former President Millerand’s party, makes a reply .to Premler Herriot's speech of yesterday, which the rules of the Chamber of Deputies prevented him from making from the speakers’ stand. The premier in his speech gave vig- orous assurance that France would not resort to financial inflation and that she would honor her signature. This met with the approval of the entire chamber, but there was ap- parently little response to his plea for a revival of the “sacred union” of the parties for the purpose of re- storing confidence in French finances, In his article today Deputy Poncet says Herrlot persisted in following a certain line of policy which proved a fallure, and he now is trying to change it. Poncet’s article continues: “The Soclallsts, when they realize that the premier’s concessions do not take effect with the rapidity of lightning—which, ' of course, is im- possible — will reproach him with having led them to perjure them- selves. M. Herriot will give in again to their pressure and embark with them on a policy more violent than ever.” The Echo de Paris, Nationalist organ, declares: “The premler yes- terday announced the bankrudtcy of the Left bloc, filing a balance sheet ocontaining but two items—a crisis of impotence and a crisis of confidence.” Italian Elections in 1926. CLEMONA, Ttaly, February 17.— Deputy Farinacci, in his first impor- tant announcement since he became secretary-general of the Fascist party, made it known yesterday that gen- eral elections in Italy could not be held before the Autumn of 1926.
