SITUATION IN NORTH

CHINA

Tension Relieved: Full Settlement Expected

Messages during the week-end in regard to the North China situation indicated serious tension. Japanese army leaders were re- ported to be visiting Peiping with the intention of presenting a final ultimatum to General Ho Ying Ching.

The latest message, however, states that the wind has veered in the direction of a full settlement, while it is gathered that no ultimatum will be presented and that the original demands have been modified to enable compliance to be easier,

General Ho Ying Ching is reported to have ordered the dis- solution of all secret organisations and to have stated that China has already complied with all the Japanese desires.

Cabinet Reconstruction

London. Juna) 8.

The reconstruction of the Cabinet was effected yesterday with remarkable expedition and a minimum of excitement. During the afternoon Mr. Ramsay Macdonali was addressing the House of Commons an the defence questions as Prime Minister. On leaving the House, he drove to Buckingham Palace “nd 'within the next two- and-a-half hours all formalities in connection with the change over had been completed and the new Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Bald- win, had issued his Cabinet ist.

Owing to the inclusion in the new Cabinet of two ministers without portfolios--Mr. Anthony Eden and Lord Eustace Percy---- is a larger cabinet than its predecessor and comprises twenty- two members. A feature of the new Cabinet is that the balance of the parties in it remains practicily unchanged. The Liberal Nationals have an additional seat owing to the advancement of Mr. Ernest Brown to be Minister of Labour and the Conservatives alsa have one additional Cabinet Minister.
