Coalition Is Talked In parliamentary lobbies it was urged that the cabinet be reorganiz ed to “make a strong government” and that parliamentary elections, scheduled for the last of April, be postponed. Some French officials said private ly they feared France would be alone in the determination to make quick action against Hitler’s violation of the Locarno treaty, but publicly they said that France could count on her friends.
