NEW FRENCH MINISTRY

EARLY PRESS CRITICISM ” BUNO LEES IN COMMAND ’ ’ GOVERNMENT'S ONE AIM (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Nov. 28, noon.) PARIS, Nov. 27. M, Chantemps has completed his Cabinet. M. Boneour will remain as Foreign Minister, M. Daladier will be Minister of War, and M. Chautempts himself will he Minister of the Interior. The rest of the portfolios are practically the same as in M. Sarraut’s Cabinet.

The Government will 'be mainly Radical and dependent for a majority on the Centre Party. The most urgent task will be financial restoration, in which the Socialists are not 'prepared to co-operate in accordance with the Radical views. However, most, parties seem to realise that; the massacre of Cabinets cannot continue.

M. Cliautemps proposes to meet Parliament with a minimum of delay, with the shortest. Ministerial declaration in history, and drive the Financial liill through the Chamber at full gallop. He declared that the Government had. only one aim—the restoration of finances and the maintenance of security—and only one means to that end—determination.

It lias been chased out four times, and reappears a fifth time with a change of captain. M. Tardieu, speaking in the Chamber, vigorously attacked the Left Wing Governments which had ruled France recently, declaring that they had led the country to the brink of bankruptcy and war. He refrained from attacking the Radicals directly, suggesting that they might- he included in a National Union Ministry similar to M. Poincare’s in lf>2l>. He concluded by saying: “France cannot live in the present state of Europe with Ministries that last only three weeks. ’ ’
