Poincare and Cheron, he would dis
favor degree of modification to an
tagon1ze or alarm capital and business
He Is understood to possess the conf
dence of moderate French labor He &C
cepted the Presidents invitation without
hesitation and proceeded with conf
dence and dispatch; his first one being
TO secure BRAND for the foreign port
folio. 1t is presumed that he unre-
SerVedly approves Brands foreign pol
icies. He is IS years old.
Yet on the evening of the 3lst Gle
mentel had to announce failure. where
upon the President at once sent for
Andre Tardieu, who consented to make
try. Apparently Clementel came a
cropper on the veXed question of the
choice for the interior portfolio. That
portfolio had been held for a year or
SO by Tardieu, but previously for some
20 years it had. believe, always been
held by some Radical Socialist. and the
radical Socialists really regarded it as
theirs by Divine right. Clementel Of
fered the party several important port
folioS other than the interior, but its
participation in the government was
refused unless M. Daladier should be
minister OF the interior Clementel was
willing to oblige, but so violent an op-
position developed to the proposal from
Center elements necessary to his support
that he abandoned the effort to form a
Left-Center government. In the above
negotiations Tardieu had displayed a
concllatory non-partisan spirit which
deserved It's reward in his own nego-
tiations; he agreed to accept the navy
portfolio under Clementel.
Iardleu, OF course, at once sought
out BRAND, the indispensable, and Bri-
ana publicly announced acceptance of
the foreign portfolio in the following
remarkable language:
VIII all the more gladly give you
my cooperation because you have, I
know, no intention of paving the way
TO combination on the Right. I could
not subscribe to such a formation, but
Yesterday morning you gave proof of
annegation In promising to accept a
Tess important post than the one you
lau neIo. You are q man of the Cen
Ter In whom thinking people. who take
account of the harm the present crisis
IS DONG To France abroad should have
confidence"
Ihat has collusive sound, as though
through BRAND Tardieu was making a
, plo Ior support from the moderate Left,
nopihg Tor the adhesion of at least an
important section OF the Radical So
ciailSt party. 1t is of note that Tar
9ieu, OF old reputed strongly of the
nlsht: has for some months past been
preaching the gospel OF Cancellation
anu on-partiSanShip. AS this Is being
written Saturday morning.. the result

Royal Academy, the membership of
which processes to include the most i'm

sciences, was installed at Rome. Really
october 20 was the anniversary of the
march, but the celebrations were held
on Sunday for convenience. Mussolini'S
speech was in the old MuSsoIiniStic
vein, that is (to adapt the words of
man who, though very different from
Mussolini was almost his equaD, 1t was
the sort of thing to please those who
like that sort of thing. Seven years,
said the Duce, have not passed in vain
And against this compact mass Of
