SAME CABINET
Premier Announces Reten-
ton Of Poincare's
Appointees

PARIS, July 29.-P1-AriStide
BRAND, Frances new premier, will
retain intact the cabinet Of his
predecessor, Raymond Poincare,
save that M. Poincare will not be
included in it. M. BRAND will hold
the post of premier and the port
folio of foreign affairs, the latter OF
which as his in the Poincare CAD
met.
The premier called at the Elysee
Palace at room and told President
Doumergue his decision. The pres
ident concurred and then M. BRAND
called his cabinet meeting Tor 5 p.
m. There was a possibility, since
the cabinet was unchanged, he
would dispense with the formahty

president.
idea Rejected
BRAND said he had tried to
broaden his political support with
addition of some ministers without
portfolio and possibly some under
secretaries Of state, all Of which
posts would have gone to radical
socialist members Of the chamber.
The idea was rejected, however,
today at a party council. 1t was
understood the new premier would
have radical socialist support in
the main pending problems Of for
elgn affairs, such as negotiations
with Germany and affairs Of the
league Of nations.
Edouard Herriot, radical socialist
mayor of Lyon, was quite willing to
come into the cabinet without in
sisting on a portfolio, but hardly
had he expressed his willingness
before his party disapproved the
idea and he took the first train
back to Lyons.
M. BRAND appeared satisfied with
the retention of his old cabinet
apparently realizing it was a make
shift solution at best and would
have to be shifted sooner or later
to appease political appetites. His
time before opening at the Hague
of the conference on r~eparations,
however, was too short to expert
ment further.
