Situation In France Is Extremely Critical Now Decision of President Millerand to Call Upon Ilerriot to Form a New Ministry Likely Mark Beginning of Era of Stress, Chaos and Uncertainty in That Country By FRANK H. 8IMOXDS Copyright, 1924 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate Washington, May 29.?The decision of President Millerand to call upon Ilerriot to form a new ministry, a decision forecast by the results of the recent election and disclosed at the confer-' ence still more recently held at the Elysee Palace, on the surface: at least holds out the promise of new and disturbing chaos in! French domestic politics. At best Herriot's reign must be short and, just as the present change has retarded the appli cation of the Dawes program, later changes must have similar ly disturbing effects. On the surface Herriot will have behind him approximately half of the French chamber of deputies, Home 292 members, but this strength rests upon the combination of three unite diverse elements, the Social ists, the Radicals and a small group of radical socialists or socialist rad icals, who follow l'alnleve. All three of these parties were united In the coiumou desire to overturn Poincare, but between the out-and-out Social ists, who count an even hundred members and the balance of the coal ition there is little or nothlnu in common now that Poincare is beat en. Moreover there are always the Communists to reckon with. By contrast the Bloc National, the old Poincare combination, counts 253 members and can rely upon some 11 more votes from the Royal ists. To enlist the necessary support of the Socialists Uerrlot must con sent to accept certain legislative projects which will certainly be op posed by the whole of the Bloc Na tional and the Royalists. If by any chance, Palnleve's group should pres ently break with Herriot's the com bination would come crashing down in a moment. Actually Herriot's ministry ts go ing to have something of the same position now occupied by the Labor government In England. Herriot *;* own party counts but 15!) In a hous" of 584, as contrasted with 191 La borltes in a house of 615 members. Like Ramsay MacDonald. Herriot must then find large support outside his party In order to stay in power a single day. But unliko MacDon ald. who can ordinarily count on the solid support of Liberals. Herriot must get support not from one but two parties. And, whereas the ov erthrow of MacDonald would preci pitate a "new election In England which all Liberals justly fear, the fall of Herriot could be accomplished without any election aftermath. Brland's refusal to enter n Herriot cabinet, if persisted in, certainly dooms the cabinet, for It means that Brland and his friends are planning to make a combination against Her riot and with the former supporters of Poincare in the Bloc National. Herriot. then, forced, to make large concessions to the Socialists Is almost certain to find himself In n short time with only the support of his own Radicals and the Socialists, which would leave him in a hopeless minority and he may even find him self deserted by the Socialists be cause he refuses to follow their de sires sufficiently. Despite It* outward appearance, the recent election risult was on the whole a far more complete repudia tion of Poincare than of his policies, and far less a revelation of radical ism In France than of a desire to get rid of a leader who had come to stand in the popular mind for reac tionary Ideas. But with Poincare removed, there are already many signs that the new chamber Is vast ly more conservative In temper than the man who will be asked to form the new cabinet can posslby be. Riv en his associates and particularly In view of his dependence upon the So cialists. Ramsay MacDonald went to Down ing Street with something like a free hand, because he could not be evict ed without the arrival of a new elec tion and both the old parties feared that a new election would lessen their own strength and perhaps give Labor a free majority of its own. This situation remains unchanged and MacDonald continues In power as a result. Moreover, there was very clear evidence In Britain at the moment and since that the British people were not disturbed by Labor's accession and were Insistent that La bor should have a fair chance to show what It could do. In France, on the other hand. It Is not clear yet that there Is any large desire to see what Herriot might do with a Socialist backing. The country as well as the majority of the new chamber of deputies Is far more conservative than Herriot, whereas In Britain the ministry which Is a minority In the house of commons hay a popular strength which sustains It In spite of this fact. And the Tories and the Liberals per mit the Labor mlnlstfy to remain IHVKBT YOt'R SAVINGS IS BAFK HON PH.

It is even conceivable, in view of | recent happenings. tl&ut Herriot mayi fail outright in his attempt to form i a ministry, although this is unlikely. I In that event Driand might come at once and then the dangers of new) delay in dealing with the Dawes re-J port would be obviated. Ouce Bri-! and did come it is pretty certain that' he could create a new bloc, drawing alike from the Woe National which! 'supported Polncare and the Bloc of, J the Left which oppose him. for Bri-J and would be at one time more mod-: Jerate in method and word than Poln i care and more conservative in prin ciple and in action than Herriot. For the present, however, there is uncertainty and this uncertainty seeuis destined to endure even if Her riot is able to patch together a tem porary cabinet. This uncertainty will . hamper international negotiations and may postpone the application of] the Dawes report program. Of .course if Herriot should achieve) f-eome sudden and unexpected success) In foreign relations he might hold i jon. but at best his task will be I frightfully difficult and his prospects] are hardly alluring.
