Socialist Chief Assumes Task; Bonnet Fails. (Copyright 1938 by The Hflvas News Agency) PARIS. Jan.

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.

"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."
