with unexpected difficulties in the
formation OF his cabinet /, but these
are OF political character.
Andrc Tardieu declined TO accept

The conference, turned out to be
quite a success for the new premier

George that it would be construed
by the French nation as unfortunate

In consequence. M. Brands visi
