The new premier achieved a
notable success in limiting the
ministerial crisis to three days
hut failed to accomplish the desire
with which he was credited OF
forming a cabinet of wide nation
al union on the lines of the cabi-
nets formed in 1914 and 1915
while he was president. Not that
he could be expected to include
socialists, for their press mas
seized on his return to power to
revive charges that he personally
was responsible for the war,
His partial failure, as explained
by the Petit Partisan, may be at
trlbuted in part to the fact that
| the situation, although grave, can
not be compared to that or iva
and 1915. The chamber elected
in 1919 comprises majority
known as the national bloc, which
, is in opposition on internal poiley
Ito the socialist radical group,
which previously was the largest
and most important group in the
chamber.
NJ. Herriot, leader of the social
ist radical group, in the chamber,
and NJ. Doumergue, leader of the
corresponding group in the SEN
ate. refused office, but assured M.
/ Poincare he could count on their
support on foreign policy NJ.
/ Sarraut, who held the portfolio of
colonies under BRAND, and who Is
/ in Washington, belongs to this
group. but it is taken for granted
he will retain his office. NJ. Laf-
font. the new under secretary of
posts and telegraphs, also is a
member of the SOCIALIST radical
group.
At meeting today this party
decided that NJ. Sarraut, having
been charged with delicate and
complex mission in the national in
terests. should carry it out to the
end, with power to consult his
friends on his return regarding
his remaining in the, cabinet.
OF the fourteen ministers, four
are senators-Poincare, Peyhonnet,
{ Strauss and Cheron, and ten are
members of the chamber of depu-
ties. All the under secretaries
are deputies. All groups forming
the left side of parliament are
represented; the socialists and the
rightists are not.
After expressing the belief that
NJ, Sarraut would not fail him,
Premier Poincare said:
81 shall not advance the convo-
cation of the chamber, which is
set for Thursday, as there are
many things to do between now
and then.
Although it is generally ac-
cepted that NJ. Poincare told Mr..
Lloyd George that France would
be represented at the economic
conference at Genoa her partici-
! patton is by no means accepted
| by the press as obligatory and
! inevitable. Several newspapers ar
que that as the Cannes conference
was not completed, it was under
stood, il not formally recognized
that, to quote the Intransigeant
"the first votes on the first ques-
tions were only given on condi-
tion that an agreement should
