London, May 28.

"Mr. Stanley Baldwin is leaving office in a blaze of popular esteem after a series of personal triumphs,' say the "Times."

"His defects as Prime Minister were obvious, continues the journal. "He is perhaps too typical an Englishman to take a sustained interest in foreign affairs. and made no obvious contribution towards a European settlement which was one of the main objectives of his last term of office.

EVEN IN DOMESTIC CONTROVERSIES HIS ACTIONS, LIKE HIS SPEECHES, OFTEN APPEARED TO BE FORCED BY EVENTS OF DECISIVE PERSONAL INTERVENTION OFTEN FOLLOWED BY A LONG PERIOD OF COMPLETE SELF- EFFACEMENT,

"THERE MAY BE TICHTER AND TIDIER METHODS UNDER THE NEW REGIME, BUT THEY WILL NOT QUITE COMPENSATE US FOR OTHER QUALITIES WHICH ENABLED MR. BALDWIN TO RISE TO HEIGHTS OF NATIONAL LEADERSHIP ATTAINED BY NONE OF HIS COLLEAGUES AND VERY FEW OF HIS PREDECESSORS," THE "TIMES"-. CONCLUDES, REUTER.
