ds /Piling Up Against New Government, Simms Says.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripps-Howard Foreign Editor ‘WASHINGTON, June 15.—Few governments in the history of the third, republic have faced a more difficult job than that of Premier Leon Blum, now attempting to ride storm in France. His tgsk is something like that of #8 cowhoy trying to juggle half a ~ dozen different objects and stick on the back of a bucking broncho at the same time. ~~ Merely sticking on the horse, not ' 10 mention getting away with the ; Juggling, may prove impossible. He may be thrown before the rest of his act hz3 time to get well under way. On paper he has the backing of ¢ Communists, 115 Radical Social- - ists, 35 independents and the 146 Socialists of his own party, ‘for a total of 378. Against him are the 236 of the right. Which sounds impressive. And, on his first vote of confidence, the response was even more so. He received 384 ballots, or six more than ~ the total number of popular front deputies combined. Opposed were only 210,

vIn Grip of Strike

.. But that vote can hardly be taken as a criterion. Premier Blum was then enjoying his honeymoon, as politicians in this country would express it. Also France was in the grip of what mouiited almost to a general strike. In other words, it was no time for rocking the boat. More than a million revolutionary strikers had downed tools and occupied the “plants - which ordinarily employed them. Well-to-do conservatives were thoroughly alarmed. Blum seemed less radical than those in control of the strike and as he promised a reasonable and early settlement, he seemed the lesser of two evils. The future, however, is less bright. Unless he leans pretty far to the left, the 82 Communists will almost certainly desert him. Despite earnest pleas, maintained for days prior to his taking office, the Communists refused to accept a position in his cabinet. They preferred to remain “a free agent,” able at any time to

support, attack or otherwise bring

prefstre on him, and frankly told him so. g Of the 115 Radical Sqeialists, many participated in the Popular Front campaign for purposes of eiection only. Now that they are in, this group will almost certainly split, sooner or later, over Blum’'s policies. He is bound to be too radical for some and not radical enough for others.

Could Be Overthrown

Should the 82 Communists and others of the left wing even refrain from voting on some crucial issue, the right parties, supported by the moderates of the Radical Sqcialists, could easily overthrow him. The fact that he is a Jew, in a country which almost engaged in civil war over the guilt or innocence of Capt. Alfred’ Dreyfus, will also bob up at some tense, future moment, possibly to his undoing. Cries of “Jew!” have already echoed in the chamber. To steer a safe middle course for long will prove well nigh impagssible. Left wingers have had their hopes raised pretty high. Never having had the job of running the government entrusted to them before, they are now expecting big things. They hope to go far in the direction of nationalization, taxing. the rich, increasing wages, shortening hours, and so on. The Communists want a capital levy. Premier Blum has indicated he

intends to try to follow a middle way. The chances, are he will not please the extreme left very long. And as he can not possibly rule with the centér and right, the odds |’ are in favor of a short lifer and a héctic one for his regime.

mobile guards today supervised French efforts to return to indusfrial normalcy after two weeks of strikes which resulted in higher wages and reduced working hours for labor.
