M. BRAND had considerable diff
Guilty in appeasing the appetites
aroused by the fall of the Cabinet,
and only satisfied the Radicals who
charged him with being a Socialist
by the statement, II intend to COM
plete the work of the Clemenceau
Cabinet and carry out the wishes of
the President and form republican
cabinet, committed to republican pol
icies"
M. GALAXY, Minister Of Finance
in the old Cabinet, laid down certain
conditions relating to his again ac-
cepting the portfolio which M. BRAND
could not grant, and besides the op-
position in the Senate to Caillaux's
draft of the income tax bill made it
advisable to substitute NJ Cookery,

Meline Cabinet of 1896-98. 1t is
announced that M. Cochery's selec-
ton does not mean the abandonment
of the income tax measure, but its
modification on lines more accept
able to the Senate.
A Ministerial declaration which
was formulated and unanimously ac-
copied by the members of the new
Cabinet contains an important state
ment indicating that the Cabinet is
committed to an attempt to end the
war between labor and capital which
has disturbed France for so many
years. An official note says this dec
laration. after quoting the famous
remark of M. Waldeck- Rosseau,
capital must work and labor pos
sess," insists upon the necessity of
an alliance between labor and capital
and the avoidance of every cause of
conflict; that the members of the
Cabinet, regardless of their political
Affiliations, resolve, with the aid. of
Parliament, to ameliorate the moral
and material well-being of the work
ers as far as in their power lies, but
that the accomplishment of this end
will depend upon the support of the
workers themselves; that the latter
must give security to capital or other
wise undertakings will be abandoned
and the economic developments of
the country arrested.
