eign portfolio to Premier Poincare.
who also is foreign minister in the

PHemier Limits -Criais.
The new premier achieved q not
able success In limiting the ministe-
rial crisis to three days, but failed to
accomplish the desire with which he
Is credited Of forming a cabinet of
wide national union on the lines of
the cabinets formed in 1914 and 1915
while he was president of the repub.
lie. Not that he could be expected TO
include the socialists who were rep
resented in those ministries, for
their press has seized upon the return
of Poincare to power to revive their
charges that he personally was re-
sponsible for the war.
OF the fourteen ministers four
are senators-Poincare, Peyronnet,
Strauss and Cheron-and ten are mem
the undersecretaries are deputies. All
the under-secretaries are deputies. All
the groups forming the left side Of
parliament are represented in the
cabinet; the socialists and the right
lists are not represented.
After expressing the belief that NJ.
Poincare said: Il shall not advance
the convocation of the chamber,
which is set for Thursday, as there
are many things to do between now
and then.
"All the high commissioners in the
previous cabinet are suppressed and
also four undersecretaries of state.
This is for the purpose of showing
from the beginning our sincere effort
to practice economy"
Divergence OF Views,
The supposedly wide DIVERGENCE of
views held by M. Poincare and M.
BRAND on the Franco-British pact
appears less striking In the light of
later information brought by dele
gates returning from the Cannes con-
ference. 1t appears that the text of
the pact as published represented an
incomplete stage: it was the text of
that part Of the pact so far agreed to.
prepared by Mr.. Lloyd George and
handed to M. BRAND an hour before
the French premier left Cannes.
NJ. BRAND is said Immediately to
have called the attention of Mr..
Lloyd George that he made reserva-
tions on two points - first, that a
clause should be inserted that the
French and British staffs agree upon
measures to be taken to give practical
effect to the pact, and, second, he
desired some provision for an extern
sion at the end of ten years,
Thus, apparently, NJ. BRAND sought
and expected to obtain what M.
Poincare is understood to be demand
ing. except that the new French
premier is credited with the inten-
ton Of having Great Britain and
France guarantee Poland against pos
sible German attack.
