government" NJ. BRAND said. Until
my cabinet has met to decide upon
its ministerial declaration, | am the
whole thing. And if any group Is
dissatisfied with the choice made by
the President of the republic, let
them go to the Elysee palace"
Everybody this morning seemed
satisfied. except NJ. Brands physi-
clan. for the eminent patient sat up
until long past midnight trying to
straighten out the situation. His
usual bedtime Is early in the evening.
NJ BRAND qualified the cabinet list
only by saving that NJ. Jourdaln had
not yet accepted the portfolio of PEN
sions and that he might be switched
to the ministry of Hygiene, NJ. Dura-
four taking pensions.
At any rate NJ. Jourdain is certain
10 he in the cabinet. This will be the
first time that Alsace-Lorraine has
been so represented in the ministry
since the premiership of Poincare.

Liberated regions-M. Chauvin.
Physical educatiOn-Paul Benazet.
HousinG-M. Levasseur.
Laval to Take Post.
NJ. BRAND intends to devote most
Of his time. to foreign affairs. He has
appointed Pierre Laval as undersec-
retary of state for the presidency of
bthe council, and the latter will at
tend To internal matters connected
with the premiership. NJ. Laval was
q full-fedced minister in the first
Painleve cabinet, but accepted the
underSecretaryShip at the request of
former Finance Minister CaillauX,
who is a close personal friend.
The new cabinet is composed of
four Senators and nine Deputies. 1t
Is meeting for the first time under the
craftsmanship of President Doumergue
late today.
A few elements of the old Left
coalition. still disGruntled over the
fact that the Left bloc has finally
gone to its death, have learned from
NJ. BRAND what is to be his policy
in providing a financial substitute
for that of NJ. Painleve. His reply
was regarded by some as bordering
on the Mussolinesquc.
The new cabinet, although falling
short of the great concentration of all
parties hoped for in many quarters to
face the precarious financial situation.
Us composed of the safest elements in
Parliament and is the most moderate
body of ministers assembled since the
elections of May, 1924.
Extremists Eliminated.
The complete elimination of eXtrem-
lists. both of the Communists and So
cialists of the left and the Ndtionalists
II the right, is one of its features.
Acceptance of the finance portfolio
by NJ. Loucheur has aroused intense
interest in financial circles. Loucheur
Ia known to be a man of daring ffnan-
cial and economic conceptions, and his
activities as Frances cashier will be
watched with great attention.
The groups represented in the cab
met by the various ministers COM
mand 296 votes in the Chamber of
Deputies out of the total membership
of 597. 1t Is expected that the more
moderate elements of the right and
Scerter will vote with the government
on the ministerial declaration of policy
next Thursday.
