BLUM GETS A VOTEUS. COULD
OF CONFIDENCE
Paris, Dec. 17. My only motive for forming a one-party Govern- ment is to give urgent first-aid at a moment when a difficult situation' is in danger of be coming, perilous," declared M. Leon Blum, France's veteran Socialist leader, when pre- senting his all-Socialist "care-taker" Cabinet to the National Assembly this afternoon. The life of the Government is, in any case, limit- ed in time by constitutional considerations," he said. "Its programme is to put an end to public, disquiet, to ensure that in the immedi- ate future measures prepared by the preced- ing Government shall be voted, to establish unquestioned equilibrium of the ordinary budget for 1947, to vote certain other neces- sary laws before the end of the year, and final- ly, if possible, to promote the rebirth of confi- dence of the country in its own destiny and 'future."
After stressing the need for sacrifice and for belief in the French power of fecovery, M. Blum said:-
"In the present state of human elvilisation no great question is capable of complete solution purely within the framework of the nation or even of its empire. The world. is going through
a process of painful growth and is becoming one immense union, and it is In this growth in the solidarity of states, peoples and men that the supreme guarantee of peace zasides.
