...aftermath of the assassinations. Obvious problem was to find a new Foreign Minister, but even more pressing was a clean-up of the French police. In command of this force and hence morally responsible for what happened at Marseilles was the Minister of the Interior, grey, fleshy-faced Albert Sarraut. Even before Barthou was laid away in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, Minister Albert Sarraut stepped quickly out of the Doumergue Cabinet. That made two vacant posts to be filled...
Last year Guy La Chambre was Under Secretary in Edouard Daladier's Ministry of War under Premier Sarraut. When Daladier moved up to Premier last January, he made his friend a full Minister of Mercantile Marine in that unlucky Cabinet of nonentities that sat white-faced in the Chamber of Deputies during the bloody riots of last winter (TIME, Feb. 10).

Marshal Pétain, defender of Verdun, was the new Minister of War. General...
...carry on meanwhile another Radical Socialist was chosen, drab, henchmanly M. Camille Chautemps who once before did stop-gap duty as Premier, that time for only five days (TIME, March 10, 1930). As announced, the Chautemps Cabinet was virtually the same as that led until last week by Albert Sarraut and previously by Edouard Daladier (see p. 17). In the Chautemps Cabinet, M. Sarraut returned to the Naval Ministry he held under Premier Daladier, M. Daladier kept the War Ministry he held under Premier Sarraut and that shaggy-maned comet of the Paris bar, M. Joseph Paul-Boncour, continued...
