M. Herriott, leader of the Radical-Socialist Party, was on the verge of résigning his leadership yesterday.
A later message states that the surprising defeat of the French Government by 264 votes to 262 on the Plenary Powers Bill was followed by its resignation, which occurred a few hours after it had received an overwhelming vote of confidence in an- other motion, and was due to a combination of Radicals and So- cialists. The Bouisson Government has thus reigned less than PARTY SPLIT four days and France has now had 18. Governments in less than
six years.
The voting was announced amidst a tense scene and the Cen- tre and Right Parties paid a tribute to M. Bouisson by prolonged cheers, while the Socialists and Radical Socialists cheered the re- sult in a wild triumph.
