political situation was still beclouded
tonlcht. after President Doumergue |
had spent busy day in conferences
with the leaders of various parties
and factions.
M. Lamoureux, reporter OF the
finance commission of the chamber
announced tonight that he has ad-
vised President Doumergue to invite
M BRAND to reform cabinet. Ihere
Is considerable doubt whether BRAND
would be willing.
The president summoned the lead
ers of the finance commissions OF Doth
the senate and chamber, to get their
views of man who could offer
financial project possible of accept
ance.
NJ. Blum Of the yellow socialist
marty and NJ. Malvy we're also called
into conference.
..The situation is exceedingly foggy,
and won't venture any prognostica-
tens said n. Danielou, former min
istar Of merchant marine, after he had
seen the president.
There were no indications tonlgnt
If the early formation of a govern
ment. and it may be that the Geneva
dispute, which awaits new french
governments appointment, may De
continued for several days. Presi-
dent Doumergue, arrived from Lyons
this morning. and shortly after his
arrival the president conferred with
BRAND who is continuing as temporal
pramirr Briand. it is understood
is thoroly disheartened. He arrived
from Geneva this morning and went
10 the presidential palace.
President Doumerguea summoned
the presidents of the senate and cham
Der and NJ. Herriot.
Brands train was an hour and a
half late in arriving in Paris, leading
10 rumors that it had been wrecked
by a plot.
Rcrriot May Come Back.
Herriot was favored in many circles
as the strongest candidate, especially
~ he were to include in his cabinet so
notorious reactionary as M. Poincare
Of the bloc rationale. Poincare and
Herriot. it is known, have always
worked we'll together. With Herriot
supported by the left bloc, which still
is the majority group in the chamber
and able to count in emergencies up
nm the more liberal members OF the
right a temporary government may
be created.
Second choice is Caillaux, who with
BRAND as foreign minister, is con
sidered capable of setting up gov
eminent which would at any rate last
long ennf to put thru financial pro
gram capable Of meeting the imme
diate crisis.
May Be Dark Horse.
The most favored fthird choice II
Deputy Raoul Peret, whose powerful
appeal for the government has tnrus
him suddenly into the limelight. Peret
bacEed by cabinet including Brian'
ana Caillaux. would constitute a form
liable alliance. Peret, lacking Cal
laux's numerous enemies is consider
ed stronger for that reason. g
Herriot. the former left socialist
premier appears on the political seem
TODAY arm in arm with Poincare, SCI
vile lackey of the bloc national
whose government was respopsiDl
for the Ruhr invasion. Both OF then
eager to serve their masters, tn
bourgeoisie, the masses that formerl
supported the Herriot left combine
ton are now restless and vehementi
demanding dissolution of the champe
and new elections. =
The Communists are insistent l
their demands for new elections
they feel that the country can b
aroused against the whole clique
Briand. Caillaux-P oincare-Herri
of agents OF the imperlalists. Tn
main issue is the question OF tn
colonial wars of frightfulness bein
waged against the RifIians an
Syrians and the financial crisis cal
not be solved so long as these car
paicns are carried on with the a
complaining enormous expenditures (
money.
All conflicting elements in the oth'
parties are aligning their force
against the demand for new election
AZ they fear their majorities viii
wiped out. tt
The proletarian elements who su
nort the socialists will probably
drawn into the Communist sphere
influence IN response to anti-imperit
list united front tactics that VIII u
is auestionably be employed by Coz
nunists In case Of elections.
