("Times" Cables.) (Received 9.30 a.m.)
LONDON, June 6,
The "Times" Riga correspondent reports that "Now, perhaps, the world will breathe more freely," is how the Soviet's official organ, the "Izvestia," in a leader, Sums up Mr. Baldwin's decision to resign.
it_saysthat the masses so hated Mr. Baldwin's Government that the result of the election was never in doubt.
It was the period of the blackest reaction in England. Mr. Baldwin's Government will be relegated to posterity as one of the most aggressive Governments Britain has ever had. It was responsible for the intensive war preparations now proceeding in the capitalist countries.
The statement concludes by warning that the change in Governments does not .mean a permanent change in the character of British capitalism. "A temporary improvement will be inconsiderable. Workers for the Soviet Union must remember that forces similar to those composed in Mr. Baldwin's Government continue to threaten new world cataclysms."
