The writer of a vigorous article in.L'lntransigeant asks why M. Dala,dier, who is undoubtedly popular and commanded a big following in Parliament, lost power overnight. " The answer is the Finnish affair, which aroused the public because Finland's defeat seemed, our defeat. It is no good having new men unless they bring a new policy. The new Government must adopt M. Clemenceau's four-word programme, 'Je fais la guerre,' which has been often quoted but seldom' applied during the last six months." Recovering from the dramatic imr pact of the crisis, the public recognised that it does not indicate a weakening of the nation's will for victory. On the contrary, it is interpreted as a sign for a general demand for the more energetic conduct of the war.
