By EDWARD W. PICKARD : a Gaston Doumergue FRANCE seemingly narrowly ea-1 cnped a dvU war. Following two day of bloody rioting Id Pari and oilier cities, I'remler Daladler and bis cabinet capitulated capitu-lated and the relni of government were put In the hands of Canton Doumergue, tbe seventy-one-year-old former president who was In retirement on his country estate. His reappearance on the political stage was In resuonse to the pleadings of President Presi-dent Lebrun and many other patriots who were Con vinced that be alone could restore tbe country to quiet. It was condl tloned on pledges that both cham bers of parliament would support him unreservedly and that the president would give hlra an execu tlve order dissolving the parliament and calling new elections, to be used If be considered It necessary, Eo the "iron man" of France, as he has been dubbed, returned to Paris wlib plans for a small cabinet made tn of former premiers and party leaders and with power to make himself tbe virtual dictator of the .country. War veterans, Monarchists, Communists Com-munists and other elements Joined in the violent demonstrations that forced out the Daladler regime. All Joined In opposition to the government, govern-ment, though no one of the groups was In accord with any others In other respects. The mobs were furious fu-rious and fought desperately with the police and the troops that Daladler Dal-adler hud brought Into the capital. The rioters, operating mainly In the Place de la Concorde and the region about the Palais ISourbon where the chamber of deputies sits, were raked by machine gun fire, subered by mounted troops and clubbed and shut by the Infantry and police, hut they returned to the fray time after time and would not cease the struggle strug-gle until Daladler resigned. The number of. dead was estimated at fifty, and more than a thousand persons per-sons were wounded. After the battles bat-tles were over the boulevards In the center of Paris presented a scene of desolation and destruction un equaled there since days of the commune la 1871. Nationalist elements resented especially espe-cially the removal by Daladler of Jean Chlappe as prefect of police, feeling that he was being made a capegoat In the Rayonne bond scandal. scan-dal. The Communists and Socialists Social-ists accused Chlappe of fomenting the rioting, but the "right" element said the "leftists" were determined to get the Corslean out of the way because they knew be would block the proletarian coup d'etat they were planning. The Royalists were In the mix up hopeful, as always, that they might be able to restore the monarchy and put on the throne the due de Guise, head of the Bourbon Bour-bon house of Orleans, who lives In exile In Brussels. Naturally the pretender pre-tender shares In that hope, but be was quoted as deploring the bloodshed. blood-shed. r EVALUATION of the dollar, and the purchase of gold at $35 a fine ounce caused turmoil In the world's money markets and n Immediate result re-sult was a great flow of gold bullion bul-lion from Europe to the United States. Tbe pound sterling nd the franc made gains, but not big enough to suit President Roose-velt Roose-velt and his monetary mone-tary advisers. Later Lat-er both the pound and franc declined again, and the confusion was made greater. The French were alarmed by the drain on their gold and expressed ex-pressed Intense resentment against the American policy, charging that the administration was making deliberate de-liberate efforts to embarrass France. For the time being the administration adminis-tration was prevented from driving the dollar down to its projected parity par-ity points In foreign exchanges by the rising tide of American dollars flowing back to this country. Hut most of Its financial experts were confident that the 59.00 cents value would be made to prevail after a reasonable time to allow for the shakedow n. As for the $35 an ounce for gold. It Is the opinion of Prof. George F. Warren, chief deviser of the experiment that Is under way, that the figure must be raised If prices f commodities are to be put op materially. Frank E. Gannett, the Rochester newspaper publisher, after a visit to the White House and talking wlih both tbe President and Profeasor Warren, said Id his Rochester Roch-ester Times Union that be had been convinced by those conversations "that we shall continue to raise the price cf gold" aad that the ftt Og- ' 1 fl t .

He had admitted the abduction of Charles Roettcher of Denver and Haskell Bohn of St Paul PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT called congressional leaders Into conference con-ference and with them formulated bills designed to bring the stock markets of the country under federal fed-eral control. The measures were then Introduced In both house and senate. They deal with short selling, sell-ing, marginal trading, specialists, pool operations and manipulation. W! IT WAS authoritatively stated In Washington that the President believes that excessive Interest rates on all classes of debts should be re duced as an Important step toward reduction of the debt structure. Ills viewpoint applies to foreign debts owed to United States citizens, to private debts and to those of Industry. Indus-try. He was said to be of the opinion opin-ion that reduction of Interest would make payment more probab'e, and that Hied charges also could be cut down. Bills before the senate, which have house approval already, would enable corporations and municipalities municipali-ties or other political subdivisions of states to scale down tbe principal and Interest of their debts through an agreement with the majority of their creditors. Legislation Is already In effect which enables the Individual to rearrange re-arrange bis debt and Interest rates through a pact with the majority of those he owes and to give similar help to railroad. There have been complaints that these laws have not been particularly effective and that they need strengthening. - The President, In letting It be known that he thought the debtor was paying too much on obligations contracted In better times, did not say what he believed was a fair rate nor did he specify particular charges that be regarded as too high. JRA and the steel Industry came ' Into sharp conflict, and the NRA to a certain extent backed down. Executives of all the lead ing steel companies met and considered the claim of the national na-tional labor board to authority given by the President to conduct elections for employee representatives rep-resentatives when a "substantial" number num-ber request that ac tion. To this the steel men took exception. ex-ception. They is sued a statement saying the Indus try intends "to resist all attacks" upon company unions and that It holds that the present plan of employee em-ployee representation complies with the NRA. The statement, however, declared the ateel Industry "Is cooperating co-operating whole heartedly with the President In his efforts for national recovery and subscribes fully to the principle of collective bargaining as provided in section 7 (a) of the na tlonal recovery act." the Ms A had given out a press statement Implying that all company onions are dominated by employers. This drew sharp criticism, and the statement was retracted. Adminis trator Johnson and NRA Counsel Donald RIchberg upheld the right of the labor board as stated above. They asserted, however, that the ex ecutive order which said that repre sentatives elected by a majority of workers "have been thereby deslg natea to represent ail the employees, em-ployees, does not abridge the rlghta of labor minorities to conduct nego tiations with employers.

Hiram Johnson mi little debate the senate passed the bill Introduced by Senator Hiram Johnson of California Califor-nia which Is designed to prevent the floating In America of private loans to countries now de faulting on past debts.. Before passing pass-ing it, the senators amended the meas ure so It would not hamper the Presl dent's new scheme to grant to foreign nations loans with which to buy Amer lean goods. A proviso pro-viso was written In declaring that loans to foreign de. faulters could still be made by gov ernment owned corporations. As It now stands, however, the bill puts In the hands of the admin Istrutlon Its most powerful weapon for forcing payment of defaulted war debts. No defaulting nation may float any private loan In this country, and any American aiding In the Illegal flotation of a private loan to a defaulter would be liable to five years In Jail and $10,000 In fines. According to Chairman Jesse Jones of the RFC, the President's plan calls for the creation of a trad ing bank which will partially un derwrite extension of credits to for eign purchasers of American goods. The bank would be entirely owned by the government, so the arrange. ment would actually be a partial government guarantee of payment to the American producer.

It Is doubtful whether the sacrifice sacri-fice of the Continental army has ever been adequately realized, Arthur Ar-thur Weller writes In the National Republic Magazine.

In Marshall's Washington we find this: "At no period of the war had the American army been reduced to a situation of greater peril than during the winter at Valley Forge. More than once they were absolutely without food." What hardships were undergone can be deduced from the fact that only 5,000 out of the 17,000 who encamped there In December for that winter were fit for active duty. Clothing, no less than food, was scarce. Men wore each other's uniforms In order that the naked could be clad and take their turn at active duties. One account tells of Washington, one cold morning, meeting his sentinel sen-tinel as the commander left headquarters, head-quarters, the Potts house. The sentinel sen-tinel was making vigorous movements move-ments with his hands and legs In order to keep warm. Noting this, Washington asked him If be had had his breakfast Upon receiving a negative reply.
