CHANGING OVER

CABINET’S RESIGNATION MEETING TO BE HELD TO-DAY [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Nov. 29. Ministers of the Crown will be in Wellington to-morrow morning for the meeting of Cabinet which has been called by the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, to decide the future course of action so far as the Government i« concerned. The Minister of Health, Sir Alexander Y oung, and the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. J. Bitchener, both of whom were defeated, arrived in Wellington to-day and all the Ministers. including the Minister of Finance, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, will be in Wellington to-morrow. Air. Forbes stated to-day that the arrangement for a meeting of Cabinet to-morrow morning had not been al--1 tered and a decision as to when the Government should resign would be reached. His feeling was that the resignation should take effect as soon as Mr. M. J. Savage was in a position to respond to the invitation of the Governor-General to form a Cabinet. In the meantime, it was uncertain when the members who were elected to support the Labour Party will be meeting in Wellington. The Prime Minis-ter-Elect will arrive at Wellington oh Monday morning and it- is anticipated that most of the Labour members will be in Wellington either on that day or on Tuesday. However, in certain electorates there is an element of uncertainty and it may be necessary to await the result of the official recount of votes. Lt may be taken for granted, however, that the new Labour Government will be in office well before the end of next week.
