Former Persident Poincare was among the first summoned to the Elysee Pal- ace, the president wishing his views on the situation created by defeat of Premier 'tardieu and his govern: ment in the chamber of deputies yes- terday. Paul Doumer, president of the se- nate, according to tradition, was the first sent for. He was followed by Fernand Bouisson, president of the chamber. After them came Senators Etienne Clementel and Victor Ber- ard, and Deputies Louis Malvy and Paul Boncour, presidents of the se- nate's and chamber's commissions of finances and foreign affairs. Camille Chautemps, Radical Social ist leader, and others of the left wing opposition which last night ovér- threw Premier Hardieu, also were in- cluded in the list of callers. In some quarters reception of the visitors was regarded as merely a perfunctory measure, expectation beg that M. Tardieu would be asked to form a government, and would accept, There was some mention or Aris- tide Briand, foreign minister in the last cabinet as a possible selection to head the next government and as pbssibly being able to gather a stronger majority for the moment while. there was conflict between M. Tardieu's cabinet and the chamber in matters of tax reduction. It was generally conceded that se- lection .of M. Tardieu once more was almost necessary because of his fa- miliarity with affairs at the London naval conference, where he is consid- ered to have raised considerably the prestige of France. No one else is considered quite so well equipped as he to finish that job. M. Bouisson, who spent an hour with Tardieu before seeing President Doumerague, said after leaving the president, that he doubted if the conferences with political advisers and the summoning of some one to form a government would be conclu- ded until tomorrow night.

Feb, 18.--The long- strained relations between 'the La- bor Government and the left-wing: ers of the Independent Labor Party culminated yesterday in the resig- nation of Premier Ramsay Mac- Donald from membership in the LL.P, No stated reason for the action was given, and, perhaps none was necessary, for, in the words of a friend of the Premier, "the reason must be obvious to every one." The Independent Labor Party is controlled by the left-wingers, men who have persistently refused, on principle, to subscribe to. the idea that "half a loaf i" better than no bread," 'an idea which circum stances have for: the Parliamen- iary Labor Party many times to « pores, Government pulicies and inisters ittacked, and the weel-end meet ing of the Southern Counties' divi: sion of the party hardly tended ro pour oil on the troubled waters. cars some think they are musicians ave time nnd a 'ain, bee | The week-end deliberations will MacDonald Cuts Ties With Independent Labor Party On Account of Opposition probably result in an appeal! for funds, a move which the "regulars" as these funds will avowedly be used to finance opposition to Gove ernment policies.
