"A MINISTRY OF NATIONAL
CALAMITY."
PARIS, 20th Jjily
Judging from anticipatory newspaper comment, the Herriot Ministry has opened under most unhappy auspices.
The "Journal dcs Debats" says: "Whereas France needed a Government, she is getting a Ministry of national calamity.''
"Le Temps" declares: "Instead of forming a Ministry of National Union for public salvation, M. Herriot has composed a Cabinet of national disunion for the salvage of the Left Cartel." The paper predicts a brief span of further convulsions; then the situation will become grave, and then dramatic. "La Liberte" expects that M. Herriot will meet foreign commitments by inflation, and adds: "Our unfortunate country does not deserve to suffer such depths of calamity and infamy." Even the Paris "Soir," which supports the Cartel, doubts M. Herriot »s ability to solve the crisis, and asks what his programme will be and how long he will last.
