NEW PRIME MINISTER
FAMILY TRADITION OF SERVICE A STRONG IMPERIALIST With the resignation by Mr. Stanley Baldwin of the office of Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Arthur Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Government, will become his successor. Mr. Chamberlain is the third member of a family triumvirate which has figured largely in Imperial politics and world affairs for half a century. In becoming Prime Minister he will occupy a post which his father, Joseph Chamberlain, seemed destined to fill but for his stormy advocacy of tariff reform in the early years of the present century. By a strange twist of history, it is largely owing to the resurrection of tariff reform that the youngest Chamberlain has gained his present political eminence.
