Sand "a -half-foot premier, forged
ahead of the specter of national strife
today.
The country at large watched quiet
ly as the cabinet took the oath from
President Lebrun last night. 1t was
sworn in only IL hours after the gov
ernment Of CASTOR Doumergue, ven-
cradle former President, resigned.
Flandin called his ministers to work
today on a program to be submitted
TO Parliament Tuesday. Its chief plans
are economic revival and reduction OF
unemployment.
The public apparently was generally
satisfied. No violent disorders fol-
lowed Doumergue's downfall, although
crowds here and in provincial cities
sheered Doumergue and shouted
Down with Parliament"
Riot Fear Suppressed.
Fears of troubles similar to the
bloody street riots of last February
were largely dissipated when the new
government took the saddle so quickly
Heavy police patrols remained on the
streets, however.
Attempts to start riotirg. mostly by
royalists, petered out here yesterday
under rain and police fists. Fifty per-
sons were arrested, only to be released
later.
Although the new cabinet inclines
more to the right than Doumergues
the powerful Radical-Sociallst party,
blamed for yesterdays crisis, voted
unanimously to support it. Even So
cialists appeared tractable.

desired by the people in the face OF
distress at home and dangers abroad.
