FRENCH POLITICS
GROUPS UNITING FOR TWO GREAT PARTIES.
(Pkess Association.—Copyright.) PARIS, Dec. 22. The newspapers note certain developments in French politics tending to gradually unite the pposing groups into two large parties, similar to the British system. M. Briand, the leader of the movement, inaugurated an important electoral campaign by addressing 2000 of his constituents at" St. Etienue. He received repeated ovations. M. Briand vigorously denounced the new Cabinet on the ground of insincerity, and inconsistency. He described his own position as standing between the Right and the extreme Left. The latter was a party of revolution. He appealed to his hearers to work for the realisation of the Republic 'n which the Government was at tin- service of all Frenchmen, and whence the harsh tvramiv of local personalities :.nd parish pump "interests would be banished as eff?ctivelv as ;he great Revolution ended th e reign of a personal central despotism.
M. BRIAN DS WARNING. (Received Dec. 23. 10.5 a.m.) PARIS, Dec. 22. M. Brian warned the Government that 'i the adversaries of a policy of appeaserrrnt attempted in any Government to force upon the country ideas that the country did not want, 'the end of the republic was not far distant.
