Election Results!

Plagued by a financial scandal, the Conservative government of Poincare has been resoundingly defeated. The new Chamber of Deputies is dominated by the coalition of Radicals under Eduard Herriot, with 203 seats, and the Socialists under Leon Blum with 138. The Conservatives won 232 seats, and remain a power to be reckoned with, while the Communists won 27. It is expected that Herriot will take the post of Premier, with Aristide Briand as Foreign Minister. During the campaign, Briand placed particular emphasis on the opportunity the German government of Chancellor Cuno presents for a healing of the grievous mutual wounds of the recent war. Blum is expected to take the post of Minister of Justice, in view of his imposing background in the Law.

In a telegram of congratulations to M. Herriot, Russian Federation President Kerensky welcomed the electoral success of the French Left:

"It is indeed gratifying to see the triumph of the forces of Peace, Socialism, and international reconcliation. I have known Eduard Herriot for many years, and I know he will work for peace in Europe and the world."

M. Herriot, please accept our congratulations on your recent electoral victory. It is the hope of all Germans that this day will mark the beginning of an era of respect and cooperation between our two great nations.

Sincerely,

Friedrich Ebert, President
Wilhelm Cuno, Chancellor

Foreign Minister, M. Mussolini has expressed his discontent at the recent victory of the socialist "scumbags". Why ever did they get rid of a King anyway? When told of communists winning 27 seats, he made a quick note in his diary for some reason...

Mussolini's final comment was;
"How can this be called a victory for Peace when the shadow of the FART military alliance hangs over Europe? Atlantis still occupies vast amounts of Turkey with no legal right. Russia has swallowed large amounts of Polish territory. France still hangs onto Corsica, despite pleas for independance and unification again with Italy. The French still also occupy by force large amounts of Africa. Italy is currently creating thousands of jobs for the people of Libya in the efforts to tap the recently found oil."

If anyone wants proof that the right-wing is the only way to succeed, just look at the best ever yields of crops attained this year. Of course, under the watchful eye of the Minister for Agriculture.

Geeze! Mussolini would have a feild day knowing Atlantian socialist's would favor annexing Libya. They often talk about how Libya was once part of the Atlantian empire in the bronze age long before the first Roman emperors were still in diapers!

Although the Indian ambassador to France will visit Paris to congratulate M. Herriot on his recent electoral triumph, it is evident that there is some disappointment in Hyderabad over the election's outcome.

"Socialism is about the lowest common denominator, mob rule, and regicide", the Raj was overheard to say yesterday during an improptu meeting with three of his ministers. "It would be more appropriate to send my condolences to the people of France than to congratulate the new government."

Despite his sentiments, the Raj is said to be hopeful that Franco-German relations might yet be normalized.

Dr. Sachim Jidambaram, dean of economics at Kolkata University, seemed to echo the sentiment: "The old French government was the most, shall we say, unforgiving, of the nations that dictated the Treaty of Versailles. They insisted on many of the harsh terms that have nearly destroyed the German economy and spawned the lunatic fringes on both ends of the political spectrum. If the new French government is serious about healing wounds, the whole of Europe could be better off for it."
