Paris. August 2.
M. Paincare to-day is submitting to the Cabinet his scheme for the organisation of a sinking fund for National Defence Bond and Treasury Bonds of a minimum term
of one year.
In order to give this fund an Jeffective guarantee and make it in- dependent of party politics, laws instituting it will be embodied in the conatitation. for which purpose the National Assembly, consisting
of the Chamber and Senate as one body, is to be convoked at Versailles to sanction the necessary modifica- tion of the constitution.
This National Assembly, aparti from regular meetings for the, elec- tion of the President of the Re- public, has only twice been specially convoked-once in 1879, to provide for the trinafer of Parliament From Versailles to Paris, and in 1882, to modify the organisation of the Senate.-Reuter.
