POINCARE’S DIFFICULTY
RIGHT WING TOO STRONG FEWER COMMUNISTS ELECTED (United P.A. —By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association.) PARIS, Tuesday. It is not yet possible to estimate accurately the grouping of the new Chamber of Deputies as it will contain 28 more members than the last one. However, the Centre Right is apparently 338 members strong, compared with 269 after the last election. To these have to be added a good proportion of the Radical Socialists, who support M. Poincare. The chief difficulty of the Premier in the near future may ■ be resisting the pressure from his right wing. The notorious “red girdle” of the Parisian Communists will no longer be vociferous, as only nine of them have been elected, instead of 17 as before. Those who have been defeated, moreover, comprise prominent militants. The Communists, however, polled largely at the first ballot. The chief reason for their defeat is their refusal to co-operate with the Socialists. Certainly M. Poincare will be able to continue his financial restoration policy, which is the subject of congratulation on the Bourse and in business quarters.
