GOLD FROM FRANCE
TRANSPORT BY AIR LONDON, May 5 Every air liner from Paris is arriving in England heavily laden with gold. This is clue to French nervousness at the advent of a Socialist regime. It is estimated that £2,000,000 worth of gold arrived by air to-day in addition to large consignments by sea. Customs officers have noticed that private citizens in the last few days have been bringing personal trinkets and family heirlooms to Britain. A message from Paris states that the French Cabinet had a lengthy sitting to-day and listened to a long speech by M. Flandin on the foreign situation, and another by M. Rcgnier, dealing with finance. M. Regnier subsequently stated that no special measures to safeguard the franc, such? as control of foreign exchanges or an embargo on gold, would be necessary before the resignation of the Cabinet, which is exacted to be tendered on June 1.
