PARIS, April 1.-THE Herriot cab
met Is out OF power, Overthrown by
the Senate because of the charges
that under NJ. Herriot's rule the legal
limit of the bank-note circulation had
been secretly exceeded, but NJ. Her
riots majority in the Chamber of
Deputies remains virtually intact.
At a general meeting this morning
of the four groups of left parties
forming the governmental majority
since last May, resolution was
adopted ito continue with unshakable
determine tion the policies for which
the country voted a the last election y
The meeting represented about $40
Deputies, consulting a good working
majority of the chamber. The Social
lists, 104 strong, went even one better
when they decided they would sup
port no other than NJ. Herriot.
Herriot Return Unlikely.
The Senate declared itself in such
unequivocal manner-the adverse
vote being 156 against 132-that al
though the consultations of President
Doumergue looking to the selection
of new premier have hardly even
riots imm mediate return is very un-
likely.
NJ. Painleve, president of the Cham
ber, who announced that he would
not accept the task of forming Il cabi-
net when ii was first mentioned, but
would sacrifice himself to the cause
of the Lefts shouId no other poll
tician be found able to yeconcile the
widely divergent viewpoints of the
Senate and Chamber. appears to be
the man most likely to succeed in
forming a ministry.
War on Chamber.
President DoumerSue's task is espe-
cially difficult, because the other day
the Senate not only repudiated the
financial policy of the HeFriot govern
ment, but specified IL would not sup
port any government but a coalition
of all the Republican groups This was
considered as tantamount to declaring
war on the Chamber.
N. Painleve, who is in consultation
with the leaders of the Chamber, II he
accepts, would be premier without
portfolio, and his adherents assert
that he would request former Premier
BRAND, former Minister of Finance
Loucheur, and three members of the
Herriot cabinet, Gen. Nollet and NJ.
Chautemps and de Monzie to assume
the leading ministries.
Long Crisis Seen.
Unless NJ Painleve accepts the COM
mission to form a cabinet Immediate
", the ministerial crisis is certain to
be long and arduous.
NJ HerriOt did not appear at the
Chamber when it met for brief ses-
sion this morning before adjournment
to Wednesday. He remained in his
rooms until noon, receiving only the
closest friends.
May Favor Painleve.
A strong suggestion that Painleve
might be the man chosen to attempt
the formation of new cabinet was
made by Paul Morel, president of the
Left Radical group of which Louis
Loucheur is the leading light, and
part of the cartel, comprising the
four groups of the old Herriot ma
jCrity, when he left the Palace of the
Elysee this afternoon, after confer
ring with the president.
A Painleve cabinet is not impos-
sible," said Deputy Morel. He add
I'd he believed this represented the
general sentiment Of the chamber.
President Doumergue continued his
consultations after luncheon and it
was believed he was not likely to
conclude these advisory conferences
with the leaders until late in the day
or tonight. He was reported to find
however, that there was a growing
spirit of moderation among the Her
riot supporters, some of them sug-
gesting that the ministers might be
taken from different parties, but still
insisting that the premier must be
chosen from the cartel.
