The explanation is that when the four Radical-Socialist Cabinet Ministers, MIN. Herriot, Sarraut, Queuille and' Perrier, toft Angers after attending the Radical-Socialias Conference they were under the impression that counsels of moderstion had prevailed. 'The adversaries of the Cabinet, however, concocted a declaration' again introducing condemnation of the Premier, M.
Poincaré, and the National Union, This declaration was voted on the Congress and passed unanimously in the absence of the four Ministers, who were entirely ignorant of" the whole scheme, When they heard about it they decided that they muy resign.
The coup was a triumph for M. Caillaux, the leader of the Radical section opposing the Government.
The Poincaré Government lasted two years, three months and fourteen days, The revolution parsed by the Radical Congress at Angers, wi preci care Cabinet, denounced the alle militarism of the French Government, culled a half on the Governments military and naval programmes, and forbade an increase in fighting effectives or the money to be voted in that connection. This was moved by a young Deputy named Montigny, seconded by the leader of the Radical Party, 31. Daladier, both lieutenants of M. Gaillaux, and passed by a unanimous vote of the Cor The resolution p veto on Ministers belonging to the Radical Party remaining in the Cabinet if the wishes of th Radicals were not carried out, hence the resignations already cable The cabinet resigned on the day of the re-opening of Parliament. Both the Chamber of Deputies ard the Senate met to-day and ad:
