Under the calm exterior, burning fires have been fanned to white heat. It is common knowledge that President Millerand and Premier Poincare are not on friendly terms, although their official positions prevent a complete break. The Radicals, who to a large extent control the Senate, and who are not to be despised in the Chamber of Deputies, are violently opposed to Poincaré's German policy.
