Review of Current Events by Edward W Pickard
A sweeping column notes France’s crisis with Tierriot forming a new cabinet, de Monale planning finance, and Herriot warning that treasury is empty. It contrasts disarmament talk with American and British attitudes, and reports Iowa Republicans split with farm bloc influence. It cites Borah and Edwards amid debate on the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead act. A Senate slush fund probe opens into Illinois primary spending.

France Crisis Deepens as Briand Ousted in Vote
The French Chamber passed a vote of no confidence 200 to 287, toppling Briand's cabinet as distress over postwar debt and taxes grows. President Doumergue convened Poincare to form a national union cabinet with Briand likely as foreign minister and other posts discussed amid widespread unrest. Parlamentary turmoil and foreign debt issues spark fear of longer European economic instability.

Senator Borah Critiques Farm Policy And Tariff Support
Senator Borah, guest of President Coolidge at White Pine camp, said the administration would oppose price supports and other farm measures as unsound. He predicted no strong West reaction to tariffs, noted Coolidge’s unchanged popularity, and blamed farm unrest on postwar losses. He said Republicans would control Congress but rely on insurgent votes if key states swing.
