Doumergue planned to charge each of his ministers with the task of preparing 8 departmental bud get and he was hopeful that the 1884 budget, would be balanced and passed by parliament during March.
 He relied on the aid in general work of Edouard Herriot and An dre Tardieu, former premiers serv- ing as ministers without portfolio in the cabinet he formed yester- day.
 These two were dramtic sym bol Of the political truce that was effected with Doumergue's as- sumption of the prime ministry. Herriot. the left wing leader, Tardieu, of the right, had been bitter political and personal enem- les. Doumergue brought them to- gether.
