America still looks to ex-PTemier
BRAND, despite his recent defest In the
French Chamber, for continued efforts
toward the peaee of Europe. Political
obligations OF Tardieu are believed to
be In the direction Of y more robust
nationalism, but hope is expressed that
the change will not seriously effect in
ternationsl negotiations.
The victory in the Chamber of
Deputies was triumph more for For
eign Minister BRAND personally than
fer the ministry rs whole" asserts
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, with the
explanation; 'It had heeh feared that
in the swing to M. Tardieu, which has
given q militarist tinge to the French
government, some harshness toward
Germany would come into French
policy. None Of this Is apparent In M.
Brands speech"
mo one Is more appreciatiVe of the
dependence Of natinnal well-beinR upon
friendly relations abroad than Premier
Tardieu," says the New York Evening
Post. Hence there is no reason to fear
his interference with Brands program
of reconciliation with Germany. The
Young plan and the evacuation Of the
Rhineland will not now be repudiated,
and II the latter development Is some
what delayed or carried out with less
enthusiasm than might have been the
case If the government had been one
Of the Left, still IL is not reasonable to
suppose that there will be any actual
change Of policy"

opponents on the Left. Then he en-

corning the Saar would be handled
cautiously. The Notifications on the
Eastern frontier would be completed as
rapidly as possible. AS for the naval
conference and disarmament, Frances
communications with Africa would be
zealously safeguarded."
1.-The new ministry shows courage by
tackling its problems forthwith" In ne
opinion of the Springfield Illinois State
Register, but the present outlook can
not be said to be at all favorable for
success. The impression prevails that,
In the long run, M. Toinoare Will be
called upon to take over the relns again
as soon as his health permits" The
Houston Chronicle holds that 'the
cabinet as q whole is the weakest,
politically speaking, since the war,

''M. Tardieu and his immediate sup
porters," states the Charleston Evening
Post, represent a nationalistic spirit,
far less sympathetic 70 tnternational
Cancellation than N. BRAND Is supposed
to typify." That paper fears that III
the TardIeu ministry should endure only
q few weeks and should be succeeded, IS
it most probably would be, by a radical
government, BRAND would probably be
forced into retirement from the head
OF the foreign olaee." The Springfield
Republican OherVes that Tardieu's
statement to the Chamber exhibited
q spirit which "hristled with touchy
nationalism not IN harmony with
the program ct which BRAND has
been working but the Republican feels
that the reaction is mot q fatal one
against the program Of reconciliation
and disarmament" though 1t concludes
that the majority Of a In support Of
the new ministry, on vote Of conn-
