' FRANCE FACES MORE . INTERNAL TROUBLES Resignation of Millerand Creates Deangerous and Unconstitutional Precedent. PRESIDENT SHARES BLAME Sole Element of Stability in Gov- ernment Is Eliminated. BY ANDREW TARDIEU. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, June 14.—Doumergue suc- ceeds Millerand; Herriot follows Poin- care. Less than a week has sufficed to change the two chief magistrates of the French republic. As foreseen. the presidential crisis evolved according to rule. terminat- ing in the resignation of President Millerand, although in choosing his successor the national assembly did not follow the wishes of those who had demanded the head of the de- posed president. It unnecessary to repeat the constitutional aspect of the crisis Already it has been shown that by making the irresponsible head of the ftate follow the fate of successive majorities, the sole element of Sta- , bility is excluded from the constitu- tion of 1875 and that the president is submitted to a sort of fndirect Plebescite—that is to say. to just what the constitution of 1575 especially wished to avoid. It is probable that the consequences of this change will e seen before long. It may lead to a revision of the constitution. Aided Own Downfall. M. Millerand, the chief victim of the crisis, contributed to the catos- trophe as well as his cotemporaries, whether called Briand or Poincare. Because, since his speech a® Bata- clan in 1919, he has been regarded as the head of the majority. ThiS in spite of the fact that'he was the first to discredit it by calling to the gov- ernment in his own cabinet men like Steeg, who were beaten in 1919 and belonged to the minority. Since then M. Millerand in private often said he foresaw danger, but his acts were not always wise. In 1921 he ed Aristide Briand to power 1922 M. Poincare.

Ford also many times has expressed jthe view that five days a week is “enough for anyone to labor. A An authorized spokesman for the “Iord Motor Company said today: “Mr. Ford has always had the idea of a five-day Week in mind. Now and "Jgain he has made experiments along {Zihat line.

PARIS, June 14.—The victory of the Cartel des Gauches in the French elections May 11 lasted just one month. Today the Cartel is split wide open and control of parliament passes from the Left to the Center. All this came about by the Cartel dog allowing itself to be wagged by a Socialist tail. It was the Socialists who demanded the resignation of President Millerand as a condition to their support of the He ROV~ ernment, It was the Socialists who, after M. Millerand resigned, demanded that Paul Painleve be elevated to the presidency cialist (Paul Boncour or Alexander Varenne) as president of the Chamber. But 150 members of the Cartel des Gauches refused to follow this leader_ ship and the Conservati Joined them in electing ston Doumergue. Thus, in endeavoring to push their victory too far, the Left has lost it altogether. Instead of being a unified and disciplined group as they were only a few days ago, into two factions. Herriot Hold ‘Is Weak. Edouard Herriot is called to form the first cabinet under Doumergue's presidency, but it is already doubtful that he will succeed or that if he succeeds he can gain a majority in the Chamber. It appears certain that the Socialists will refuse to partici- pate in his cabinet. and wiil reserve the right to vote him out of office when they e fit This will be Herriot's reward for plaving their game and demanding Millerand's retirement which. as the writer stated last week, I did much against his own judgment Friday, the 13th, with its thunder- storms and lightning roaring while the National Assembly voted at Versailles, was & day of doom for Herriot and his followe: But it is all in French political ditions. Exactly the same thing happened in 1913 when Pams was the choice of the Left caucus, but M. Poincare refused to be bound by the vote of the caucus and was WEATHER AND STRIKE Sunless Spring, Replete With Tor- rential Rains, Drives Out Thought BY A. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, June 14.—The owing subject of discussion in Lon- don at the present time is the weather. England has experienced the worst spring in living memory, almost entirely sunless, with almost ceaseless torrential rain | All open-air pursuits have been submerged, and the cricket season, the main sporting interest of the English spring and summer, has been com- | pletely washed out. The effect is felt most disastrously in connection with the great Wom- | bley exhibition, which has attracted | to London unprecedented crowds. The streets present the daily specta- | cle of regimented battalions from the | provinces and foreign lands.

Strike Also Distu Not only the weather is making the life of the Londoner trying these days. He has had another week's experience with no familiar discom- fort due to suspension of the traffic system. The trouble began with the unofficial and unauthorized strike of the men in power houses of the un- derground railway systems. They came out in deflance of the execu- es of the trade union. Their ac tion is understood to be inspired by the communist element, who hoped | to force universal stoppage and a stampede of the trade union. But| union leaders declared this was an attempt to produce anarchy and rule of mob law, and they publicly de- nounced the strikers as blackiegs. Concurrently the railways an-| nounced that if the strikers did not return to work immediately they | would be dismissed and prosecuted for breach of agreement. Attacked on both flanks, the strikers at mi night Thursday decided to surrender and on Friday the siege of London was raised and millions of worker: once more were able to go abou their business. New Strike Impends. But the situation is stili menacing. for a regularized strike of electricians | connected with the railways is not settied and threatens a renewal of the breakdown. The expectation that the advent of a labor government | would tend to allay tension in the industrial world was wholly falla- clous. Things are worse rather than better.

The fall | of President Millerand is regarded as a proper sequel to the fall of <Pre- | to a more hopeful development, but the influence of reactionaries and Clericals is still recognized as pow- | erful. If Edouard Herriot forms a government. it will visit Prime Minister MacDonald next week. The English governmert has sent a provisional invitation to him and it has been provisionally accepted. The writer understands that the main_considerations M. Herriot will put forward as the basis of accept- ance of the Dawes scheme will relate to terms of economic and military withdrawal from the Ruhr. He will ask for re-establishment of the al- lied mission of control over arma- ments in Germany and for neutrali- zation of the Rhine frontier fifty kilometers deep, after occupation has ceased. Soviet Parley Continues. The prolonged Anglo-Russian ne- gotiations continue. Last week the prospect of arriving at an agree- ment on pre-war debts seemed hope- less, but on Thursday events took a turn for the better, the Russian dele- gates agreeing in principle on part payment, according to capacity to , on condition financial assistance hould be given to Russia. There is no evidence of enthusiasm in London for the idea of a Russian loan, but the writer understands that the applica- tion of the trade-facilities act and export credit to Russia would go far toward meeting the needs of the situation. In any case the prospect of some working arrangement being reached between the two countries is sub- stantially improved, though in offi- cial circles confidence in the good intention of the soviet government is not strong.
