MOVEMENT FOR THE KAISER'S RETURN.
(Reuter's General Service.)
LONDON, March 31. Interest is deepening in the forthcoming elections in Germany and France. The later are fixed for November 5, a week later than the German elections.
It is stated that the date was deliberately chosen as it is expected reactionary successes in Germany will influence the French electors in Poincaré's favour, It is significant in this regard that the programme of the German Peoples' Party drawn up at a meeting at Hanover, presided over Herr Stresema declares that party will under the old black white and

colours and hopes for a restoration of German power and greatness under # democratic
monarchy.
It is noteworthy that while Herr Stresemann is an nouncing his sup- port of! a monarchical programme, the Chancellor, Herr Marx, speaking at Hanover declared that a victory for the Chauvinistic_nationalist movement at the elections would ruia Germany.
PARIS, March 31
In the hamber of Deputies M. Poincare in Minister dcclaration, said the Cabinet had been formed in a spirit of Republican union and national concord.
He was determined to pursue unflinchingly the late Government's foreign policy.
France would only withdraw from the Ruhr in proportion as Germany fulfilled her obligations. France was very desirous of the earliest possible agreement with the Allies, and associates on reparations security.
Immediately the experts handed in their report, which the Government strongly hopes will lead to a speedy general settlement, the Government] would be ready to seek with its friends the elements of a definitive solution.
Any power subsequently seeking to disturb European order and recover lost provinces would arouse universal indignation and those who barred the road would earn the approval of the whole world. France was not perialistic and given the peace to which she was entitled France would march with the right toward the new sun of which! the long-delayed rising was awaited feverishly by the world.
At hone the Government's main task would be drastic financial reform.
M. Poincaré said the new Government would continue its predecessors' policy for the restoration of the devastated regions but there must not be any inflation since until France had agreed with her creditors the situation would require prudent handling. The Goverment would take steps to prevent a repetition of the recent campaign against France. Her colonial policy would be. to develop the wealth of France's oversea 'possessions. M. Poincaré's statement had a lukewarm reception in both Houses.
