FRENCH GOVERNMENT

THE HEW CABINET PORTFOLIOS ANNOUNCED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, November 27. M. Chautemps has completed his Cabinet. M. Boncour will remain in the Foreign Office, M. Daladier will bo Minister of War, M. Bonnet Minister of Finance, and M. Chautemps himself will take the Ministry for the Interior. The rest of the posts are practically the same as in M. Sarraut’s Cabinet. The Government will be mainly Radical, dependent for a majority on the Centre. The most urgent task will be financial restoration, in which the Socialists are not prepared to co-operate, in accordance with Radical views. However, most of the parties seem to realise that the massacre of Cabinets cannot continue.

M. TARDIEU’S CRITICISM

PARIS, November 27

M. Tardieu, speaking in the Chamber, vigorously attacked the Left Wing Governments which had ruled Franco recently, declaring that they led the country to the brink of bankruptcy and war. He refrained from attacking the Radicals directly, suggesting that they might be included in a National Union Ministry similar to that of M. Poincare’s in 1926. He concluded by saying that France cannot live in the present state of Europe with Ministries that last three weeks.

THE GOVERNMENT'S ONE AIM

RESTORATION OF FINANCES

PARIS, November 27. (Received November 28, at 10 a.m.)

M. Chautemps will introduce a measure to abolish the exchange compensation tas in response to British representations. He proposes to meet Parliament with the minimum of delay with the shortest Ministerial declaration in history, and drive the Financial Bill through the Chamber at full gallop. He declared that the Government had only one aim—restoration of the finances and maintenance of security—and only one means to that end—determination. * The Press criticises the Chautemps Ministry. The ‘ Echo de Paris ' declares that since 1932 a team of bunglers has been in command. It has been chased out four times, and reappears for the fifth time with a change of captain.
