Tributes To Retiring Premier
London, To-day.
Yesterday's events included a number of incidents showing the atmosphere of sincere, if regretful, goodwill in which the two statemen most closely associated with the great

inaugurated in 1931 are from active parts in political life.
Prolonged cheers from all parts of the House greeted Mr. Baldwin when he rose in the Commons to make what was taken to be his last answer as Prime Minister.
Mr. Baldwin replied: "I do not consider it would be act of propriety on my part to enter into a question of what this House might do next week.”
