FORMING A CABINET. TRENCH POLITICAL OUTLOOK. CONFUSING AND UNCERTAIN. BY CABLE —BRESS ASSOCIATION -COPY IUGIIT. Received Nov. 24, 12.45 p.m. PAIKIS, Aov, 23. The political outlook is confusing and uncertain. aL, Briantl is regardeu as the oiuv man capable of loiming a concentration Cabinet, based on the majority of tne Centre ana Left, and not on the Left Cartel, as were the Tlerriot and Painleve Cabinets.
Various parties of the Left Cartel held meetings after the resignation ot the Cabinet, but were unable to agree upon a policy. Finally a joint conference of Socialists, Radical Socialists, and Republican Socialists adopted a resolution declaring their determination to support only a Cabinet of the Left under At. Herriot or At. B-riand. These three groups total 278 deputies, therefore it is essential that they should obtain the support of at least twenty of the forty Radical Left Group to be assured of a majority in the Chamber, and to form a Government prepared to carry out the Cartel s policy.—Reuter.
