FRENCH CABINET RESIGN.
Paris, May 13.
M. Poincare has told M. Millerand that he himself and the Cabinet will resign on June 1-Reuter,
Newspapers generally consider that while the swing, to the Loft will have some influence on the domestle polley it is extremely Improbable that it will affect the foreign policy. They lay par- ticular stress on the success of the Socialists, contrasted with the small gains of the Communists and express the opinion that the main issue of the election is the high coat of Itving and the now taxation. Le Journal recalls that many of the Left declared thom- Felves partisans of M. Poincaro's foreign policy. Matin thinks M. Poincare could find a majority, but belloves it more normal for the victorious partles to pasume office. M. Tardieu, who himself was beaten, in the Echo National blames the moderates for their own defeat, saying that they did not fight enough. The Com- munist Humanite. declares that disillusion will rapidly follow tho advent of the Radical-Socialist Herriot and the Socialist Renaudel. The Communists will immediately demand full amnesty, the evacun- tlon of the Ruhr, recognition of the Sovieta and the abolition of tnxation schemes. The radical Ere Nouvelle says that the election shows France's desire for peace. The new chamber will certainly be inclined to conciliation but this must find શ counterpart in Germany. It urges the necessity of Germany rapidly fulfilling the experts' recommendations.--Router.
Paris, May, 13.
It is semi-offelally stated that the plan of the Experts will probably remain the base of the French Reparations policy, and even if M. Poincare ceases to direct public affaire his successor will not be likely to abandon altogether the policy of the present Premier-Reider.
