NO REASON FOR RUMOURS OF CABINET CHANGE
London, To-day.
FOR SOME DAYS SEVERAL newspapers have been canvassing the possibility of some reconstruc- tion of the Government in the near future. It is suggested the Prime Minister may have been im- pressed by the anxiety expressed by a number of speakers in recent debates for a smaller War Cabinet.
Individual Ministers have in a few cases been the subject of press suggestions to the effect that they were not best suited to the particular tasks of their office.
Elsewhere the suggestion appears that the Premier may wish to broadeni the basis of the Government by enlist- ing the services of some of the op- position leaders who, it will be re- called, declined when invited to take office in the early days of the war.
In most cases the speculations' re- flect the views and wishes of a parti- cular newspaper and their publication is no reason for supposing that these or other ministerial changes are in fact under consideration.

Most remarkable story comes from Hango which, it is said, has been handed over to the Soviets without a single one of the many thousand in- habitants remaining to live under Rus- sian rule.
It is not certain if history provides any previous example of a town of the size of Hangoe being abandoned spontaneously by all its citizens upon its transfer to another state.
This popular movement is a crush-` ing answer to the Soviet's erstwhile claim to be liberating the Finns from the Helsinki Government.
