By the Associated Press.


PARIS, November 2S-Aristide B:i
and presented his eighth cabinet tC
the President OF the republic this aft
ernoon after another struggle against
the political influence which almost
wrecked his combination at the elev
enth hour.
The cabinet. formed on almost ex
cluslvely partisan lines, is extremely
liberal in its tendencies and committed
TO radical measures for the cure OF
| financial ills.
With the exception of former Pre-
mier Georges Leygues and the Alsa
tian, Paul Jourdain, the whole min
istry comes from three of the remain.
ing groups, which, with the Socialists,
formed the coalition Of the Left. MI
merically these groups represent
about 2S0 votes in the total Of $50 in
the Chamber Premier BRAND con-
seouently will have a difficult task
in governing with a majority partly
recruited from the opposition.
Opposition to Wait.
NJ BRAND is regarded as the only
man in French public life able to ac-
crate conservative opposition is ex-
pected to wait for the introduction OF
measures for financial renovation be-
fore taking up its attitude regarding
the new government The Socialists,
il is thought, will do likewise.
The nature of the financial meas
ures will decide whether the addi-
tional votes the government groups
require to pass any bills VIII come
from the Socialists or from the Right.
Those measures, NJ. LouCheur, the
new minister of finance, has SAID, VIII
be "prudently bold" He will adopt Nj.
Caillaux's scheme for q sinking fund.
Whether he Will stick to the capital
levy which he favored in the cha amber
in the recent debate or adopt more
conservative means to provide reVe-
nue. for that fund remains 10 be seen
when the bills are introduced IN about
10 days.
Alsace-Lorraine was given a place
in the cabinet at the last moment
after NJ. BRAND had become imn~tient
at the persistent obstruction of the
radicals and after the repeated black
hallinG of persons considered by him
as available cabinet material had
worked him up to point where he
was about ready to give UP the task.
The insistence of President Doumergue
alone induced him 10 continue.
.Jourdain Final Choice.
After comforting with the President
he replaced the radical candidate for
the ministry OF pensions with NJ. Jour
dain, the Alsatian deputy and mem
her of the group of Republicans of the
Left as a notice that he would toler
ate no further blackballing. The radi-
Gals had already excluded NJ. Doumer
from the premiership M. Berenger
and Raoul Peret from the ministry Of
budget and NJ Marraud from the min
istry of the interior.
IF this sort OF thing goes on NJ
BRAND told them, Il shall have 10
give up the job for lack of material"
The new ministers will meet tomor-
row evening to draw up minist erial
declaration. which the premier said
would be the shortest on record NJ
BRAND will leave for London Monday
to sign the 1locarno treaties. He will
return to Paris Wednesday in time to
appear before the chamber in the aft
ernoon.
A novelty Of the new government
will be a technical mission attached TO
the ministry of finance. composed of
f1nanciers and business men. to aid in
solving the financial problems con-
fronting France.
