Paris. April 1.-THE new premier
M. Painleve, presented his ministry
to President Doumergue in the palace
Of the Elysee at noon today. The
ministry will meet tomorrow morn
ing at ten o'clock to draft the de-
claration which it will submit to par
Lament next Tuesday.
Painleve completed his cabinet
about midnight and sent notification
to President Doumerque that he had
succeeded in forming a ministry
where BRAND had failed.
So difficult we're the last hours of
the task that hope had almost been
abandoned Of reaching an agreement.
But, in addition to forming the min
istry, an accord was also found on
the ministerial program.
of minister of war, as we'll as presi-
assumed the portfolio of foreign af-
litical career was thought to have
to Imprisonment and ordered expa-
over Frances finances.
The only member of NJ. Herriot's
cabinet who remains is the former
finance minister, Anatole De Mon
zie, to whom is attributed in a mea-
sure the downfall of the Herriot ad-
ministration. He becomes minister
of public instruction. The cabinet
follows:
Premier and minister of war, Paul
Painleve.
Foreign affairs, Aristide BRAND.
Finance, Joseph Caillaux.
Justice and vice president Of the
cabinet, Jules Steeg.
Public instruction, Anatole De
Monzie.

The ministerial crisis occupied the
leading statesmen and bankers
throughout the day and night and
states of all descriptions were sug-
gested and put aside until the final
combination was decided upon. 1t is
reported that M. Brands hesitation
to accept the portfolio Of foreign af-
fairs held up the final decision, as
his program was said to be greatly
at variance with that of Caillaux.
Parliamentarians described the
cabinet formed by M. Painleve as
composed of the safer and saner ele-
ments of the left groups, as COM
pared with the Herriot government,
and with pronounced leanings to-
ward the center and right parties.
The new ministry will continue the
policy of Cancellation toward former
enemy countries, relying entirely on
the operation Of the Dawes plan for
the collection of reparations, and, it
is declared, will make an earnest at
tempt to reach some agreement with
Great Britain and the United States
on inter-allied debts.
So far as internal affairs are con-
cerned the idea of levy on capital
has been abandoned and the policy
demanding complete enforcement OF
the law respecting separation of the
church and state, which caused much
bitter opposition to the late Herriot
government, will be allowed to lapse.
Settlement of the war debts will
be one of the first cares of the new
finance minister, M. Caillaux, ac-
cording to friends with whom he
talked yesterday. M. Caillaux will.

debts, which ne considers one of the
greatest obstacles to a complete fin
