RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CABINET
Expectations In Britain
London. May 27. The zero hour for the British Cabinet reconstruction is expected to be rung on June 7, when the House of Commons rises for the Whitsun recess.
1.
It is then expected that the Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald, will, resign and that Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Conservative
leader, will assume the Premiter's office. Mr. Baldwin, it is stated on the best of authority, will be sum- moned to Buckingham Palace the moment Mr. MacDonald's resigna- tion is received, and will be in a position, doubtless, to announce his Cabinet forthwith. "
The present complexion of the Ministry. Its Nationalist structure, will be scrupulously maintained.
The most dependable forecast of of, the Cabinet shume at prum sent available" is as follows:---
\Mr. Baldwin will be Prime Minister;
Mr. MacDonald, will become a Minister without portfolio:
Sir John Simon, present Foreign Minister, will succeed Mr. Baldwin: Mr. "Anthony Eden will succeed Sir John Simon;
Lord Sankey, Lord Chancellor. will retire, to be succeeded by Lord Halisham. Then,
In order to redress the party balance in the Cabinet Mr
Malcolm MacDonald, son of the present Primë Minister, will enter the Cabinet and Mr. Oliver Stanley will succeed Lord Halifax at the head of the Board of Education, and Mr. Ernest Brown, Becretary of the Mines Department, will succeed | Mr. Stanley as Minister of Labour.
-Reuter.
TRIBUTE TO EDEN
London, May 27. In the House of Commons, Mr. George Lansbury, Labour leader. paid a rare compliment to Mr. Anthony Eden for his conduct of the Italo-Abyssinian negotiations at Geneva.
Replying to a question, Mr. Eden described the agreement reached, remarking that the Council of the League would remain in close con- tact with the situation and would meet again to deal with the matter,
should circumstances render this
necessary.
Without suggesting that the Council's resolutions had finally disposed of the tension between Italy and Abyssinia, Mr. Eden said he was confident they repre- sented an important advance' to- wards a friendly solution of the dispute. Both parties had accepted the co-operation of the League in

Laval, the progress recorded could
not have been realised.
Mr. Lansbury, speaking in the name of the whole House, con- gratulated the League Council and the British representative, Mr. Eden, on the result of the con- ference. He added that everyone hoped this was the first and most important step towards an equit- able and permanent solution of the Italo-Abyssinian dispate.- Kenter.

Berlin, May 27. While nothing, official is yet avaliable with regard to the actual scope of the Anglo-German naval discussions, it seems almost cer- tain that they will decide how the total tonnage. of the German fleet, corresponding to one-third that of the British Nayy, shall be allocat- ed among the different classes of ships.
