Special Inner Cabinet

The new Government is predominantly Radical-Socialist in character. One of its features is an inner committee of six members who are te meet every day. These members are M. Daladier, the Premier; M. Camille Chautemps, Vice-Premier; M. Paul Reynaud. Minister of Justice; M. Alber Sarraut, Minister of the Interior M. Georges Bonnet, Foreign Minister, and M. Paul Marchandeau, Minister of Finance.

M. Daladier can rely on 207 supporters in the Chamber of Deputies against 222 potential opponents," but he is certain to receive a large measure of support from the minority groups, which have 185 representatives. He should therefore find a sufficient majority.—Reuter.
