FRENCH LEADER’S STRENGTH
EMERGENCE FROM CRISIS LONDON, Nov. 22. General de Gu.Jlle has emerged stronger than ever from the crisis which at one time seemed on the point of overwhelming him, says the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail. The arrangement of the new Cabinet shows that the Communists had to 'go more than half-way to settle the dispute with him over the allocation of the posts which provoked the crisis. The result in this sense is a success for him, the Communists failing to get any of the three key Ministries, Foreign Affairs, War, and the Interior. The Paris correspondent of the Times says the Ministry has the broadest possible basis. Every- political shade in the Assembly is represented, ensuring a unanimous vote of confidence from the Assembly. The correspondent, commenting on the subdivision of the defence. Ministries, says the arrangement evolved is not simple, and suggests that-General de Gaulle , regards peace as sure for some time to come. The correspondent points out that the army, navy and a.ir force, as -such, .have no civilian head, but retain their staffs, dependent on the two-Finance Ministers, while General de Gaulle is the arbiter in cases of doubt.
