ary government. The main question was,

fuses to diaarm? The existing conflict was
due TO the fatal advice OF COunsellors

President McMahon's efforts to form a
conciliatory ministry had been 80 far
frustrated by the exorbitant demand Of
the Left that Congress of the two
Houses should be held for revision Of the
Constitution.

after the sitting that the idea Of Con.
gress, which had only been mentioned in
private conversation, had been seized
upon at the Elysee as pretext for break
ing off the negotiations for reconcilia-
tion Of the Cabinet. Counsel discussed
the petition movement which is being
organized among persons engaged in
trade throughout France. The govern
mentappears resolved to prevent by all
means this manifestation, which it con-
siders hostile TO itseli.
