It is the first time since, the

constitutes the supreme test of the
league's power to break up war.
It i was carried out in a tense at

Austen Chamberlain, British for

CAILLAUX AGAIN FORCES
JcABINtTTvTOrOWN TERMS
MINISTER OP FINANCE XgAIN
SHOWS IRON STRENGTH
Considered Broken, Caillaux Now
Obliges Cabinet to Accede
to Ufa 7kHuinds
PARIS, Oct. 26. (By Associ
ated Press.) M. Caillaux. who on
Saturday was generally considered
politically a -man of the past,
showed today that he was stilla
factor of the present by obliging
the cabinet against its will to take
into consideration his financial
projects before -adopting the so
cialist policies approved by the
radical party at Nice.
Asked by Premier Painleve, the
man who brought him back to
public life, to hand in his resig
nation, M. Caillaux stoutly re
fused. 'He declared that if the
cabinet resigned and was re-constituted
without him on a plat
form involving a capital levy, he
would overthrow it in parliament.
The measures which the finance
minister forced upon the consider
ation of the cabinet are 'based
pon the organization of an amor
tization commission which would
have charge of the issue of paper
money, short term bonds, regarded
as belonging in the same category,
n ml .nMimMl.liflil . . nl. I. In
fund to guarantee the retirement
of any new issue of bank notes
nd 'the payment of the interior
and exterior debts. . The amorti
zation commission would have also
the duty of preventing the total
circulation ' and the floating debt
ever exceeding the present limit.
The finance minister s resolute
attitude upset all the calculations
of the premier and the majority
of the cabinet who, averse to
hearing his new projects for fin
ancial restoration, were forced to
give way and postpone their final
decision until the proposed meas
ures had been passed upon.-;
"M. Caillaux is a hard morsel.
said one minister after the cabinet
meeting, "what is called! Amer
lear Tiard hofled." ? '0
This morning's session of the
cabinet was one of the stormiest
on record: its echoes reached the
lobby where the correspondents
waited for news.
M. Caillaux not only declared
war on what he called the "mon
ied coalition" which wag fighting
him. but demanded of the minis
ter of Justice that action be taken
against French bankers who, he
said, according to information re
ceived through diplomatic chan
nels, had been adding to the diffi
culties of the hour by selling
francs short in the foreign mar
kets.
The fate of the cabinet prob
ably will be decided at a meeting
of the ministers tomorrow.
The general ooinion is. what
ever may be decided by the pre
liminary meeting, presided over by
Premier Painleve. or the council
of ministers.- presided over by the
president of the republic, that the
cabinet cannot outlast the opening
of parliament-

bles something like a millionaire's

ings, and as a result, the Salem

high seasonal . levels, and the vol

to be larger than in the previous
month or the same month a year

"The total value of agricultural
output for 1925, expressed in
terms of purchasing power, is es
timated to be larger than in any
ot the past five years.
'Increase in demand for credit,
partly seasonal in character was
reflected in an expansion of loans,
both at reporting member banks
and at the reserve bank. Interest
rates were unchanged.
