Although Socialist Blum had resigned this did not destroy the political majority of the Popular Front. Mindful of this fact President Lebrun asked another Popular Front statesman before dawn to try to form a Cabinet, picking for this effort a Radical Socialist who had twice before been Premier, Camille Chautemps.

...virtually the whole Chamber voted for it by the tremendous majority of 470 to 46. That might seem excruciatingly funny to some women, but to the enormous majority of steadygoing French folk it seemed like a godsend. Two nights later they heard on the radio President Albert Lebrun, a figure much esteemed for his dignified embodiment of the point of view of a small-town Frenchman, tell them that the entire nation must lay aside partisanship and buy up the loan...
