SITUATION IN FRANCE.
Paris, June 18
There is a likelihood of the Painleve, Government being beset with acute political trouble at an early date through the withdrawal of radical and radical-socialist support. An oxocutive commit too meeting of the latter held lagt night concluded with a pious resolution in favour of "pursuing the policy of the left blac."
Dissatisfaction is
more particulary directed against M. Caillaux's financial programme. The significant comment of M. Herriot's organ Le Quotidien following on the meeting is that the abandonment of support of the Government is inveitable and the fate of the Ministry will be settled at an early date. I belives, M. Painleve will not accept a recast majority from the Centre. In the meantime Le Mutin states that M. Poincare regards the Moroccan situation. as of first class national importance, as the Colonial empire is at stake.. He will carry on. as long as a parliamentary majority is obtainable, regardless of the attitude of the various groups-Reuter.
UNITED STATES, ANO MEXICO.

Mr. Green states that he issued a warning that American. Labour would not support the policy of dollar diplomacy and it was unthinkable that the Government would contribute to a situation which might lead to military intervention.
