It would seem that President Poincare is confronted with a greater difficulty than has presented itself to a President of the French Republic in recent times. Should he summon à Ministry unfavourable to the three years' bill Russia will have something to say on the matter, and with every reason. Equally, if he diesolves parliament he has to meet a financial crisis of considerable magni- tude. The Badget which should have been passed in December last is still unvoted. The votes account expires on the last day of the present month, and 280,000,000 must be raised by then if France is to be saved from bankruptcy. It is difficult to believe that even the combination on the loft, for the sake of a fleeting triumph, will precipitate such a grave national crisis, yet their attitude lends little hope that they will place their country's claims bofore their own succesy.
