Doumergue's Government Falls As Radical Members Offer Resignations.
PARIS, Nov. 6—(P)—The radical members of the French cabinet withdrew from office today, wrecking the government of Premier Gaston Doumergue.
Former Premier Edouard Herriot, minister of cabinet without portfolio under Doumergue, and head of the radical socialists, had been in opposition to many of the premier's ideas.
The premier was understood to be prepared to give President Lebrun the collective resignation of the whole ministry which has been in power since the bloody riots of last February.
Herriot is one of the strongest political veterans in France and his opposition to the premier, which has caused a series of rumors of impending breakdowns in the government in the last few weeks, was regarded as the crux of the situation.
Five other radical socialists sat in the cabinet with Herriot.
The radical group's action was taken at a meeting of party leaders, and it was indicated that Doumergue would offer the resignations formally to President Lebrun at once.
It was indicated that Herriot himself would form the next French cabinet and serve as its premier with almost identically the same ministers forming the body except that Andre Tardieu, another Doumergue minister without portfolio, would become minister of justice and vice premier.
Doumergue was said by his friends to be "furious and disheartened" at what he considers the "betrayal and desertion" of the members of his own cabinet upon whom he had counted for devoted support instead of the constant need of whipping them in line.
