What is
LORD CURZON SUGGESTED AS PREMIER,
London, May 21.
It is believed in political circles that His Majesty will offer Lord Curzon the Premiership and that he will secept.
It is pointed out that Mr. Bonar Law's resignation embraces bis colleagues, and a new Government will have to be formed Therefore, a hasty reshuffling is imminent.
Mr. Bonar Law's successor has not yet been summoned. The chcice seems to lie between Mr. Baldwin and Lord Curzon, each of whom receives a considerable measure of support from the press.
A situation of unusual political interest has arisen. Cabinet reconstruction has become a matter of first importance, and there is considerable speculation regarding the position of ex-Ministars of the Conservative wing of the Coalition. It is understood that Mr. Chamberlain,, Sir Robt. Horne, Sir L. Worthington Evans and Lord Birkenhead have been released from their pledge of allegiance to Mr. Lloyd George. Their individual claims for inclusion in the reformed Conservative Ministry give rise to a piquant altuation, probably occasioning awkward problems for the party. The papers emphasise the lack of unity in the past and declare better cohesion within the party is needed in the future. It is pointed out that while the announcement of the resignation is in the nature of a bombshell, the Whitsuntide recess fortunately afford's Я respite. The most urgent matter at present is that the King's Government be carried on with the smallest interruption and dislocation.
Mr. Bonar Law's resignation was startlingly sudden. The deci- sion was entirely the outcome of the report of his medical advisers, and his colleagues were apparently not consulted thereanent. The resignation was actually conveyed to His Majesty at Aldershot by Colonel Ronald Waterhouse, principal Private Secretary. Mr. Bonar Law himself was too unwell to attend in person. His throat trouble is not malignant, and there is every reason to hope that his health will eventually be restored, but while he has no intention of resign- Ing his seat in the House of Commons, his political career is definitely clased. Papers of all shades of opinion pay a tribute to Mr. Bonar Law's sincerity of purpose, modesty and unselfishness. All deplore the causes leading to his retirement. Thus the Times says that if human sympathy could have cured Mr. Bonar Law would be well to-day- The Telegraph has such a high opinion of Mr. Bonar Law's political sagacity and simple honest character that it intensely regrets that his name was associated for the shortes: time with one of the least prosperous premierships in our annals. Other organs variously, describe the causes leading to his resigna- tion as a tragedy, fate, and a disaster.
THE BRITISH LEGION.
Londen, May 21. Earl Haig, addressing the annual conference of the British Legion, stated that the branches in the country at the close of the year numbered 2,089. Employment was found for 10,000 men during the year. In spite of the almost unprecedented depression.
Between three and four thousand members of the Legion in the afternoon marched to the Cenotaph for an impressive memorial service, after which the Prince of Wales deposited a wreath on behalf of the Legion.

Paris, May 21.
The Temps says that Britain, by develop the naval base at Singapore, offers an example to all nations, ceaching, firstly, the necessity of being ready to strike at a decisive point, and secondly that paper guarantees do not always suffice. It adds that Britalo's pre- parations in the Pacific, where she only counts friends, reminds one of the precautions France must take on the Rhine.
