Last Sunday the Radical-Socialist Party met at Angers. All the

four Radical-Socialist members of the Cabinet were present—M. Herriot, M. Sarraut, M. Queuille and M. Perrier. There was much criticism of the Govern- ment, but before the Conference ended the Ministers returned to Paris convinced that there need be no split. This Was M. Caillaux's opportunity. He and M. Dala- dier the leader of the Party, engineered a revolt and carried a motion that it was impossible for the Party any longer to be represented in the Cabinet. The four Ministers, of course, felt compelled to resign, and M. Poineare immediately acted upon his frequently repeated statement that upon a single resignation he would himself resign. The President, is making the usual inquiries before inviting anyone to form a new Ministry.
