•, (Received 10 a.m.) PARIS, June 22. Being assured of the support of the Socialists, the largest party in the Chamber Pf Deputies, M. Chautemps has formeci a Cabinet, including M.M. Blum, Sarraut, Delbos, Daladier, Bonnet and other members of the previ pus V Trades unionists have not expressed hostility toward M. Chautemps. After" the new Cabinet had been presented to the President, M. Le Brun, and held its first meeting, M. Chautemps, in an interview, said he had formed a Ministry of Republican Unity. ✓ He would establish financial reconstruction with the help of M. Bonnet (now Ambassador at Washington) who would return on Tuesday, when the Government would meet the Chamber of Deputies. The Cabinet consists of 13 Radicals, 12 Socialists, three members of the Socialist Union and two Independent Lefts. M. Chautemps is expected to adhere on the main lines of M. Blum’s policy, with less extreme plenary powers under the laws dealing with finances and exchange. Well Received. With the natural exception of the extreme Right newspapers, M. Chautemps’ Government was well received, it is believed Ihe main difference from M. Blum’s will be the treatment. of finance.

M. Chautemps says the most urgent task is, obviously, financial recovery.

“I have not hesitated to recall my friend, M. Bonnet, who has aL ready been a collaborator, and whose financial abilities are unquestioned,” he said, - It is expected that the new Government, which includes only six not in M. Blum’s, will receive a comfortable majority, both in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. M. Chautemps, according to “Le Temps,” intends to return to sound Liberal orthodoxy, with the object of rekindling confidence. .After a too rapid social evolution, the edifice must be consolijdated.
