PICKARD Fit A NCR seemingly narrowly civil war. Following two days of bloody rioting In Purls and other cities, Premier Paludler and tils cabinet capitulated and the reins of government were put In the hands of Gaston Doumergue, L.. JL ff s H A it!! I jf' rI Gaston Doumergue tbe old seventy-one-yea- r former president who was In retirement on his country estate. His reappearance on the political stage was pleadliiKS of Presi- dent Lebruo and many other patriots who were convinced that he alone could restore the country to quiet. It was conditioned on pledges that botb chambers of parliament would aupixirt hi in unreservedly and that the president would give him an executive order dissolving the parliament and calling new elections, to be used If he considered It necessary. So the 'Iron man" of France, as he lias been dubbed, returned to Paris with plans for a small cabinet made up of former premiers and party leaders and with power to make himself the virtual dictator of the country. War veterans. Monarchists, Communists and other elements joined In the violent demonstrations that forced out tbe Daladler regime. All joined In opposition to the govern; ment, though no one of the groups was in accord with any others In other respects. The mobs were furious and fought desperately with the police and the troops that Daladler had brought into the capital. The rioters, operating mainly In the IMace de la Concorde and the region about the Palais Bourbon where the chamber of deputies sits, were raked by machine gun fire, sabered by mounted troops and clubbed and shot by the Infantry and police. But they returned to the fray time after time and would not cease the struggle until Daladier resigned. The number of dead was estimated at fifty, and more than a thousand persons were wounded. After the battles were over the boulevards In the center of Paris presented a scene of desolation and destruction un equaled there since days of tbe commune In 1871. Nationalist elements resented especially the removal by Daladler of Jean Cblappe as prefect of police, feeling that he was being made a scapegoat in the Bayonne bond scandal. The Communists and Socialists accused Chiappe of fomenting the rioting, but the "right" element said the "leftists" were determined to get the Corslcan out of the way because they knew he would block the proletarian coup d'etat they were planning. The Royalists were In the mix-uhopeful, as always, that they might be able to restore the monarchy and put on the throne the due de Guise, head of the Bourbon house of Orleans, who lives in exile in Brussels. Naturally the pretender shares In that hope, but he was quoted as deploring the bloodp shed. EVALUATION of the dollar, and tbe purchase of gold at $35 a fine ounce caused a turmoil In the world's money markets and an Immediate result was a great flow of gold bullion from Kurope to the United States. The pound sterling and the franc made gains, but not big y suit enough to Roose- President velt and his monetary advisers. Later both the pound and franc declined Prof. Warren again, and the confusion was made greater. The French were alarmed by the drain on their gold and expressed Intense resentment against the American policy, charging that the administration was making deliberate efforts to embarrass France, For the time being the administration was prevented from driving the dollar down to Its projected parity points in foreign exchanges by the rising tide of American dollars flowing back to this country. But 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 shakedown. As for the $35 an ounce for gold, It Is the opinion of Prof. George F. Warren, chief deviser of the experiment that Is tinder way, that the figure must be raised if prices of commodities are to be put up materially. Frank E. Gannett, the Rochester newspaper publisher, after a visit to the White House and talking with both the President and Professor Warren, said In his Rochthat he had been ester Times-Unioconvinced by those conversations "that we shall continue to raise the price of gold" and that the $35 fig n ure probably would succeed only In preventing prices from slipping. devaluation By the Prealdent'i stroke a treasury deficit of was tranMfortiied overnight Into a surplus of $1)73,710,037.
