PARIS, ifith January.
The overthrow of M. Leygues is ascribed to a variety of causes. He was always regarded as a sort of buffer between the two strong men, M. Millerand and M. Braund. Moreover, M. Leygues was condemned as too acquiescent to the British standpoint, and insufficiently insistent on French interests, especially concerning the strict execution of the provisions, of the Treaty of Versailles. The majority of the Chamber were very dissatisfied at the postponement of the German reparations, which they consider necessary to repair the French finances. The future must decide whether the new Cabinet, with its so-called' strong and firm policy, will promote or detract from the Anglo-French Entente.
