ment with their votes, but to abstain
from accepting ministerial positions,
AS the situation now stands, Her
riot must consent to form a govern
ment without the socialists, or the
socialists must change their minds
and agree to take portfolios in the
new ministry. or a new combination
headed by BRAND must be sought.
The writer believes that Herriot
will finally decide to form a cabinet
without the socialists.
Internationalism will be a feature of
the new government program, it ap-
pears from joint statement of the
principles of the new parliamentary ma
jority, issued by NJ Herriot leader of
the Radicals, former Premier Painleve,
leader of the Republican Socialists, and
Leon Blum, head of the Socialists.
The program of the future major
ity is a program of conciliation and
of International understanding" they
say.
The declaration adds that the pro-
gram contemplates a real balance of
the budget and a fight against the
high cost of living, which means a
struggle against the depreciation of
the franc.
Separate declarations by the lead
ers of the different factions support
the idea that the future government

This attitude is regarded in dipIo-

another series of international con-
ferences.
The chance for a rebirth of the
supreme council is remote, because
the Radicals and Socialists prefer to
widen these discussions by the admis-
sion of the former enemy countries
and the neutrals.
Premier Macdonald of Great Britain
also is understood to be of this mind.
