, The new cabinet made its
fore parliament Tuesday.
Ln the chamber the premier read
the ministerial declaration which was
approved unanimously by the first
council of ministers, presided over by
President Doumergue. Simultaneously
M. Steeg, minister of Justice and vise-
president of the cabinet performed a
similar duty in the senate.
The declaration is a concise docu
ment, as French ministerial declara
tions go. It deals briefly with the
problem of security; It is vague on
financial policy, M. Caillaux not hav
ing yet had time to make a proper
survey of the mass of figures con
fronting him or acquire a clear view
E of the situation; it disposes of the
, religious question quickly, indicating
• the government’s desire to relieve the
, present tension and avoid further
friction with the church.

While It vras nuuke plain that this
government has no intention of ad
vising France formally of its attitude
that it should receive consideration I
equal to that accorded another credi
tor nation by France, the view was ex
pressed with the knowledge that the
information would be carried to Euro- ।
pean statesmen through the press. I
The expresston remained unamplified
except that it wm described as idbn-
tical with the position of Great Britain
as voiced by Winston Churchill, chan
cellor of the exchequer, in the British
house of commons, December 10, when
he said the government’s debtors in
Europe should plan a settlement with
Great Britain while arranging a settle
ment with the United States.
With respect to the funding con
versations already started, Secretary
Mellon declined to identify the na
tion involved further than to say that
it was a country "owing the United
States less than >50,000,000,” which
hitherto had taken no’ steps toward
an agreement. Excepting Rumania,
to which a positive’note has been sent
and the few nations which have al
ready funded their debts, only Es-
thonia, Latvia, Greece, Armenia and
Liberia are indebted to the United
States for less than $50,000,000.
