PRECARIOUS POSITION
POINCARE'S GOVERNMENT FRENZIED DISORDER (The Times.) LONDON, July 9. : The Times' Paris eorrespohdeht reports that an all-night sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, discussing electoral reform, was marked by a re* vival of the frenzied disorder pud futile obstruction which disgusted the country during the fiiianciat"'a'£* bates in 1926. A fight "is raging around the proposal for a single member constituency, which the Conservatives bitterly opposed. They, twice, forced a division by ballot, occupying an hour, while, four times, a deputy demanded an adjournment, making a lengthy speech in doing so. When the discussion was.resumed, similar tactics were adopted in the afternoon, resulting in tho. Government apparently losing force; •'.' M. Poincare will risk losing the support of the Radicals if he agrees to the Conservative demand to scrap the single-member constituency and vice versa, he will lose Conservative votes. In either case the Coalition is in a most precarious position.
