The " Personalities " enter office with the hope that
they will so impress their parties that in the autumn the Grand Coalition, with all the dignity of that title formally bestowed on it, will come into being. Yet the composition of the Cabinet, if all goes well, will remain the .same. It includes four Ministers representing the Socialists, two from the German People's Party, two from the Democrats, and one from the Bavarian People's Party. The Centre, which is a very cautious Party, is said to be quite contented in the difficult circumstances with the one Ministry which it has got. Till the road is .plainer it does not apparently want to be committed. Herr Groner, who belongs to no party, remains at the Ministry of Defence, and we arc glad to say that Herr Stresemann will still be Minister of Foreign Affairs.
