NOT DECISIVE
THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
SECOND BALLOT FORECASTS
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
The Radical Socialists are jubilant at the election results. So far 607 results out of 615 constituencies have been declared. There are to be 356 .second ballots. There are elected IUI importers of M'. Tnrdieu’s Government and 120 Oppositionists. The Radical Socialists (Opposition) making M. Herriot the leader of the predict that the second ballot will raise their strength to 120 seats, thus strongest party. M. Tardieu, the Premier, believes that the second ballot will give the Government a majority of ten or fifteen.
Everything, however, depends on how the different parties combine lor the second Ballot. Reliable indications will not be available until Thursday, when the nominations close. Even Sunday’s result will not necessarily show the character of the new Government, for an electoral understanding between the Radicals and Socialists does not necessarily mean that if they can form a majority they would be prepared to work together as a 'Government Cartel.
As in 1924, there may he no one in the position to speak for France until after the Chamber re-assembles in June.
