republic. Called upon by the chief
of state to the high honor of succeed
ing him at the head of the govern
ment l shall be inspired by his ex-
ample l shall devote myself to
carrying out his program and his
work. The principles which snail
guide the cabinet are those presented
to the two chambers on January y.
Outlines His Policies.
ut will suffice to recall them briefly:
Regarding International affairs, to de-
fend our liberties and law, to
strengthen and improve our republi-
can institutions. accomplish the social
reforms awaited by our democracy
and to pay to our valient wounded
and to the families of our gloried dead
the sacred debt we have contracted
toward them. Regarding foreign af-
fairs. to exact a strict application of
treaties, not to permit the limitation
of any of our rights. make of the
league of nations, with its powerful
organism to end the era of great
wars, and to constitute the army and
navy as a part of our policy to main
tain our prestige at the height to
which it has been lifted by our vic
tory"
Premier Leysucs, after setting
forth this policy. said: France Of
fers the most magnificent example of
moral force and civic virtues ever
given by people in the calm and
order it maintains after it's trials.
Nothing has beaten down it's cour-
age. With the battlefield hardly
cold. it began to act and think. A
great rumble of life rises from the
factories and fields. Great creative
enthusiasms are awakening. and it
is with calm and intrepid look
that the country appraises the hard
task remaining to be accomplished
to close it's wounds and repair it's
ruins
Frances gratitude to the allies and
to the soldiers was expressed by the
premier ITO US falls the honor of
finishing their work in peace" he
said 1T is with this noble object
we ask your cooperation"

the national governmental plan &c
that the presidency would carry with
it active control of public affairs hith'
erto the prerogative of the premier
ship. Last Sunday night he made re-
form of the French constitution &c
this effect a condition of his entering
the presidency. Monday, to still crit
icism thus evoked, he stated that ne
simply intended to use the presi-
dency's full power under the existing
constitution. These are said never to
have been entirely awaited of by a
French president. On such Il program
he won on Thursday a splendid tri-
umph.
VIII Attend Conferences.
What does this mean? I understand
Millerand is very explicit on Two
points: That he wishes to keep full
control of individual ministers act
ing if necessary over the head of the
official premier, and that he especial
ly is determined to direct the MINIS
try of foreign affairs by taking per-
sonal charge of all important nego-
tiations with other nations. Pour
parlers will go on as before between
Lloyd George and myself, he is re-
ported to have said yesterday.
He even intends to attend future
diplomatic conferences, as WlISol
did in 1919. In other words. he pc
lieves he can WELD about the same
yower as that of the American Pres
ident; perhaps greater, as the French
senate does not share the treaty max
ing prerogative. Truly. it is possible
literally to interpret the French con
stitution thus, but to work 1t thus
may be very difficult. Till today II
was believed that Millerand was IN
agreement with BRAND, who power
fully Influenced him toward accepting
the presidency last Sunday. Today
am informed BRAND repudiates such
interpretations, asserting views wide
ly divergent.
So there is no escape from the fol-
lowing dilemma in France: Either
Millerand Will appoint to office sec
ond -rat &c people and untested experts
possibly unable to manage parlia-
ment in his interests, or first-rate
leaders. who will be careful to secure
for themselves full powers before ac-
ceptance. preparing for conflicts with
the president. Millerand'S success de-
ponds on the consistency of the cham
bers great devotion to him and the
formation throughout the country OF
y strong presidential party
These are possible only in case of
great success in foreign negotia lions
So / fear that before long a constitu-
tional controversy will complicate the
governmental task in France. Per-
sonal difficulties existing between
Lloyd George and Millerand are a
further handicap on President Mil
lerand. Millerand's choice of Ley

statements. He is a man of great
ability and experience and Millerands

PARIS. September 25.-Millerand's
election to the presidency of France
occurring Thursday afternoon may
change the course of world affairs,
and has brought into being stua-
ton new in French history. 1t seems
likely that a situation somewhat SIM

one of the results. Whether President
