The new premier achieved a notable
success in lnlinting tbe ministerial
crisis TO three days. but failed 20 accom-
plish the desire with which he is cred
fted of forming cabinet of wide ma
tional union on the lines of the cabinets
formed in 1914 and 1915 while he was
president of the republic.
Not that he could be expected to in
clude the socialists who were represent
ed in those ministries, for their press has
seized upon the return of Poincare tC
power to revive their charges that he
personally was responsible for the war
His partial failure, as explained by the
Petit Parislen. may be attributed in part
to the fact that the situation, although
grave cannot be compared to that exist
ing in 1914 and 1915. The chamber elect
ed in 1919 comprises a majority known
as the national bloc, which is in clear
cut opposition as regards internal policy
to the socialist radical group, which pre-.
viously was the largest and most irnpor-
tant group In the chamber.
NJ. Herriot, leader of the socialist rad
ical group in the chamber, and NJ Dou-
me- que, leader of the corresponding
group in the senate, refused office, but
assured NJ. Poincare that he could count
on their support on foreign policy. NJ
Sarraut, who held the portfolio of colo
nies under BRAND, and who now is in
Washington, belongs to this group, but
it is taken for granted that he will retain
his present office. NJ. Laffont, the new
under-secretary of posts and telegraphs
also is member of the socialist radical
group.
At a meeting late this afternoon this
party decided that NJ. Sarraut, having
been charged with delicate and COM
plex mission in the national interest
should carry It out to the end. with the
power to consult his friends on his re-
turn to Paris regarding his remaining
in the cabinet.

Ponicare, Peyronnet, Struss and Cheron-
and 10 are members OF the chamber OF
deputies. Ali the under-secretaries are
