BALDWIN’S CABINET.

EXTRA EDITION.

YOUNG HEN WANTED. CHURCHILL “A- HERO.” EY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT Received Nov. 6, 2.30 p.m . r , LONDON, Nov. 5. Mr -Baldwin brought tip his Cabinet, list from the country, where he was engaged ih the task of selection, unfettered by outside influences. He issued invitations to those chosen shortly after seeing the King. He was influenced in his selection by a determination to meet the viewpoint of the Empire as well as Britain. It is expected that the names will be announced to-morrow. The report that Dol'd Birkenhead will go to the India omce is discredited. Churchill’s inclusion is most probable. - London, Nov. 4. The Times denounces the ill-timed Constitutional Club demonstration, at which Mr. Winston Churchill was paraded as a sort of election hero, as-, setting that it will revive the suspicions of the old familiar Centre -Party intriguej rendering more difficult the immediate installation of Mr. Churchill in a position in the Cabinet, to which his great gifts entitle him. The Times appeals for the inclusion of Mr. Austen Chamberlain and other recalcitrants of the ,1923 split, making the Government "different- from the one that committed suicide that year ill order to prevent jealousies. It suggests levelling up the status of the positions, dins enabling men of special fitness to liold positions without considering their claim ' to so-called higher offices,., and. adds that, if any consideration for the salaries is held to make the position of greater consequence, then these should be swept away. ... ', . . “Mr. Stanley Baldwin (the Conservative leader) has shown himself something more than a silent, accidental leader,” adds the Times. “While Mr. Ramsay MacDonald has reached the stage of almost incoherent rhetoric, Mr. Baldwin is steady and consistent, quietly logical, and always to the. highest level impersonal and patriotic in argument. His tenure will depend mainly on the wise use of his majority, which is unanimously anti-Socialist. but this does not mean wholly Conservative. The country is. still.Vlittle suspicious of extreme Conservatism. The electoral verdiqt was an overwhelming repudiation of the> personal shiftiness of Ministers, not an endorsement of any positive policy.” It is understood that Mr. Stanley Baldwin’s list of leading Ministers wiil be issued on Thursday night. One of the reasons for expedition is the fact that the Lord Mayor’s banqtiet takes place on Monday night, a feature of which has always been the Ministerial speeches. These, owing to the special circumstances, are . awaited with unusital interest. Invitations cannot be issued until- the names of the Cabinet Ministers are known, and the toast list will be rushed to the printers at the last moment^ It is stated in .weil-infbfmed quarters that the Ministry will contain some ’surprises., Certhihly Mr. Baldwin is getting pl'ehty of hints as to the desirableness of the inf Vision of new blood and a liberal sprinkling of young men'gifted with enthusiasm to grapple with~ questions arising oiit of the new social conditions.
