M. TARDIEU'S FALL
QUITE UNEXPECTED
PARIS, sth December. M. Tardieu's fall was unexpected, as it was believed that M. Poineare's support would suffice to gain him a small but sufficient majority against the Radical-Socialist attackers. MM. Poincare and Caillaux voted for the Government, /though it is noteworthy that neither intervened in the debate. M. Tardieu's opponents made considerable play in regard to the losses recently caused small investors, particularly through the Oustric affair, and denounced the Government's educational policy. They also hinted that its Republicanism was rather weak. M. Tardieu, in a spirited reply, admitted that a world economic crisis existed, but claimed that by comparison with other countries, France waa cutting a good figure. Weak points such as the decline in the. luxury trades and the tourist traffic were admitted. MM. Briand and Poincare have since intimated their unwillingness to accept the Premiership. M. Deladier, leader of the RadicalSocialists, is mentioned as a possible Premier. MM. Cheron and Laval are also supported. The crisis threatens to be long and difficult.
