Socialist Chief Assumes Task; Bonnet Fails.

(Copyright 1938 by The Hflvas News Agency)

PARIS. Jan. Iii-Efforts or Leon Bium, Socialist leader, to form a coalition French government in which certain members of the Cent- rist opposiiio would cooperate with the left-wing Popular Front fell through late tonight and Bium un- dertook to form a strictly Popular Front cabinet, with Communist par- ticipation. ' Earlier Bium had announced he wou'd like lo farm a ministry based on “a national concentration around the Popular Front“ in which oppo- sition members "known for ' their attachment to democratic liberties" would Join the Lcftiots.

PARIS, Jan. 16 -tAP>——Leon Bium lcadcr oi the Socialist party. tonight accepted the task of form- ing s. llcw French cabinet after Georges Ilolulct, rtldical-scciallst. found he could not succeed as the Socialists would not participate in a government headed by him.

BLum later told a Socialist meet- ing he would seek to fcrm a broadened Popular Front Cabinet embracing a wide divergence of political parties, frmn Communists on the extreme left to former

independent Conservative, on the right.

Bium heeded the first Popular Front Government which resigned last June during a financial crids. Last Friday the second Popular Front Government, headed by Camille Chautemps with Bium as vice-premier, resigned amidst an- other financiai crisis and wide- spread strikes.

Both the first and second Popli- lar Front Governments were made up of Radical Socialists and 50¢- ialists, with a. sprinkling of other Leftist parties. Communists de- dined cabinet representation in both, although supporting the governments in parliament.

'Meanwhlle Japan was reported today to be carrying out a. major readjustment of her dip omatic pol- icytoward world powers along the lines of her proclaimed objective- " cilication" of~Eaetem Asia. l

The foreign ministry was said to have issued a circular cablegram to Japanese diplomats, instructing them to explain Japan's intentions in the war on China.

These were outlined in the gov- ernment announcement of with- drawal of recognition which said Japan's responsibilities for peace in East Asa now are even heavier than before.”

Diplomatic observers said Japan intended to realign her foreign rela- tions with Great Britain. the Unlt- ed States, Germany. Italy and the Soviet. Union in keeping with her “unshakeablt? aim to dominate China.

Brief Flare-up In Con- nection With Tie- up. r

HALIFAX, Jan. l6—-(CP)—Extra police patrolled the street in front of the National Fish Conlpanys plant on the Halifax waterfront

.tonight as brief flare-ups broke out in the Halifax Fish Ilslldicrs and Cutters Union strike for Uli- lon recognition.

l Quiet prevailed as the crowd that gathered when windows ivcre

l broken in the front office of the plant began to disperse. Police rc-

l ported the situation well in hand. l Stones were thrown by individ- uals in the crowd. breaking win- dows. A street lamp was broken and glass spread over the streets. The pickets laughed and joked among themselves through the chilly night, pausing to leer em- ployees arriving and leaving the plant in taxi cabs.

Saturday night another minor disturbance was easily subdued. Windows were broken by stones hurled by unknown individuals in the criwd, and one picket who crossed the ilne into company pro- perty had a slight altercation with an employee of the company. He came back. slightly the worse for the encounter.

"l0-YEAR PLAN"

It is reliably reported that Prime Minister Eamon de Valera of Eire is lining up a "lo-year plan" for

Ireland. It is believed this would include a Federal Irish Parlia- ment. with a plebiscite in the

north at tile end oi l0 years on the issue of partition.

At the conclusion ol his hotel conference Mr. de Valera told the press association: '

"Tilcrc are great difficulties to overcome. As far as the Irish delegation is concerned we earnest- ly (lcsire to lay the foundations of friendly," relations between the peoples of the two countries and we ilollc that in tile present con- versations some progress may be made towards that end."

It was apparent, however, that the Govclnnlcnt of Northern Ire- land is not ivorrylng despite the prominence given to the partition issue. Ulster will not have a watching brief for the London talks. Suggestions raised in Un- ionist circles in Belfast that o. cab- inet minister should g0 to London were not approved by Prime Min- ister Lord Craigavon and lllS gov- crnmcnt.

Defence and trade apparently were‘ to be important matters to be discussed.
