 Paris, May f2.-Nearly complcts returns compiled at official hoadauar- iers up to l o'clock this afternoon show that France in yesterdays cleo tions decided on considerable change in domestic policies and on at least important notifications in the methods of handling her foreign af- fairs.
 Premier Poincares majority in the Chamber of Deputies was swept away in a violent swing Of the political pendulum toward the left and the bloc national, which formed the nucleus Of that majority, was re- dnced to second rank among the party groups.
 Official figures with fG districts show the chamber divided as follows:
 Opposition 3il.
 loincarc parties gg7.
 Opposition majority 1ia.
 The government claims that 4a out nf The lN6 radicals elected are dissi- dent and will vote with inc governs ment in matters Of foreign policy. Even if this is correct, however the government still will remain tn the minority.
 Radicals strnngt.St
 The radical party of Former Pre- micr CailleauN and Edouard fIerriot, which was defeated by the bloc na- ional four years ago. again becomes Inc strongest group in tho chamber, with lS6 votes. while the socialists, whose greatest strength in preceding years was 1oi in 19l4 will number III in inc new chamber.
 The communists will have al least .i seats. making trp entire strength 'f the extreme left or the chamber .55.
 An analysis of the official figures hDws that if the dissidcnt radicals Vho supported Premier roincarr In he preceding chamber continue te ote for him he Wi1 have about 27s otes out of tho iotal Of 5s4. the full membership Of the chamber. while he opposition would muster 292. fith lG seats yet 10 be allotted.
