BLUM'S CABINET

CHALLENGED

PRICE CONTROL BILL

BLOCKED IN SENATE

Paris, Oct. 1.

A ministerial crisis is foresten: here due to the Senate having accepted the Devaluation Bill but rejected M. Leon Blum's demands for power to halt any price rise resulting from devaluation. It is reported that M. Blum will insist upon his point, and that he is prepared to reject the Senate's bill which at present the Chamber of Deputies is considering.

It is noteworthy that although the Senate gave the Gov- ernment limited powers to Tight price rises, in debate it attack- ed social measures put forward by M. Blum and refused to accept them on the grounds, firstly, that they opened the way for further social unrest when devaluation needs a serene at- mosphere, and secondly, that social measures do not belong to the same bill as a purely financial operation.
