POINCARE INSPIRES HOPE BUT HIS TASK IS IMMENSE IF HE FAILS ? "y Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. '.*.i-:t v alinTi nnd N 7« Cable Association. (Received July 23, 8.15 p.m.) LONDON, July 23. Franc* spent a. calmer clay, being content to a-wait developments. M. Poincare began with a consultation at 8 o’clock in the morning, and continued to hustle until night; Hi? chief difficulty will probably prove to be his relations with the parties of the Left, which, although divided on questions of principle, may reunite against him. . . , , The Left bloc certainly must confess failure if it allows M. Poincare to succeed where M. Herriot failed. The Rich., forties will not m:y? against M. Pomco.ro, and the Ixift v*i! least wait and see il he asks for dictatorial powers He is no more iikclv to receive these than MM. Ceiilaux or de Moazie. Whatever mav be tho immediate sequel, no one in France doubts that if he fails there is no alternative to a dissolution. “TO SAVE THE STATE" (Reuter’s Telegram.) PARIS, July 22. M. Poincare assured the Left groups that his Government would be constituted solely to save the State, without thoughts of reprisal. M. Perot (cx-Ministcr ot rirmnec) was elected President of the Chaivfccr of Deputies.
