HITCH OVER FORMING FRENCH CABINET
THE DEFENCE PORTFOLIO Recw. 12.15 a.m. London, Jan. 21 The French Cabinet problem, which was regarded as almost solved, beacute to-day, when the M.R.P. reconsidered the terms on which it would participate, says the ‘‘Daily Telegraph’s” Paris' correspondent. The main issue is the suggested compromise by the Premier (M. Ramadier) that a Communist should be the Defence Minister, who would exercise control over three Ministers —drawn from other parties—for the armed forces. It is believed General de Gaulle’s direct influence caused the M.R.P. to become firmer. General de Gaulle is believed to have told friends among the M.R.P. that it would be dangerous for a Communist Minister to be in a position of authority over the General Staff.
