Daladier Confounds French Prophets
By Four Months Success For Cabinet
By ALEXANDER III. UHL
Uy Associated PressI

PARIS, June Is. - Premier
Edouard Daladier is turning out
to be Frances political surprise
package.
Given just about a month of
TRANSITIONAL power when he
went into office January 81, sucs
ceeding the short-lived Paul-Bon-
cour government, the little coun-
try school teacher deputy has
COMPOUNDED the political experts
by hanging on for more than
four months.
Shrewd And Silent
His friends claim he has fair
prospects OF seeing the summer
through.
A native shrewdness that en-
ables him to feel the parliamen-
tary pulse with uncanny accuracy
plus an inclination to talk only
when necessary are cited as the
two main qualities that have SER
we'd him well thus far.
Debts threw eloquent, scholarly
Edouard Herriot out. The budget
tripped up Joseph Paul-Boncour,
orator par-excellence.
Daladier has skirted the debts
question, using utmost care not
to rile a parliament which has
shown no enthusiasm whatever
about resuming payments to the
United States since the December
default.
Knows His Parliament
On the budget, Daladier moved
cautiously. playing the senate and
the chamber against each other
skillfully. The senate wanted
swift retrenchment in govern
ment expenses; the chamber was
anything but eager to make
economies.
Daladier ended up with a 1888
budget that is $144,000,O00 in
deficit, but he still had his job.
How long he can manage to
keep harmony is political rid
die. The senate already has
warned him. that he must take
hold firmly and produce a
thorough financial overhauling to
take ithe government out of the
red.
hi the chamber his chief prob
lem is the socialist group on whom
he depends for support. To keep
them in line, his main weapon has

been the ever-present threat q a
coalition government Of the cen
ter parties which would put the
.sociznsts in the opposition
Coalition Rule On Way
Like the late President Cool
idge, Daladier doesn't talk much.
In sharp contrast to Herriot who
writes and talks constantly on the
problems that interest him, Dala-
der reserves his remarks for Of
ficial occasions. Then he makes

short speeches. Consequently he
avoids rubbing parliament the
wrong way.
AZ center coalition government
sooner or later appears inevitable
to many politicians. They say that
if it comes it would not be at al,
surprising to find the careful,
calculating Daladier heading it
instead of impulsive Herriot who
thus far has seemed to have the
call.
