...Franco-U.S. debt settlement (TIME, May 10, THE CABINET) and to the steps being taken by Finance Minister Peret to stabilize the franc. Since this opposition was clearly based upon mere party politics and ignored the crucial state of the general fiscal situation, Premier Briand tried the bold stroke of appealing to his enemies of the Right and such of his Left friends as remained faithful, to unite with the Centre in giving him a vote of confidence...
