Reconstruction of the Cabinet is expected some time soon, partly because of the tremendous strain of the premiership upon Mr. Ramsay MacDonald who' is forced to do a prodigious amount of reading in spite of his troublesome eyesight, and partly because of the normal opportunities for re-arrangement which occur in any Government which remains long in power. Rumour was at its busiest last night. The like- liest story which is circulating in the lobbies of the House is that Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Stanley Baldwin, former. Prime Minister of the Conservative regime, will change places.

The rumour adds that this change may be brought - about! during the Whitsun reccas,

The election rumour is natural because, with the passage of the India by the beginning of August virtually assured, the only definite obstacle to an early elet-j tlon i ruttovod.

WORLD HEADS FOR

STABILISATION

TO END CONFUSION OF MARKETS

HULL POINTS WAY TO WORLD RECOVERY

Washington, May 15. The invitation of the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Henry Morgenthau, for foreign offers regarding international currency stabilisation, which was dealt with in his broadcast message to the Nation on Mon- day last, was furthered by Mr. Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, to-day, when he formally issued a statement to the press that Mr. Morgenthau's limited stabilisa- tion offer "pointed in the direction towards which the world can look for further general improvement in its affairs."

Speaking in the same breath regarding interna- tional money stability and world trade expansion, which he hopes to achieve through reciprocal tariff agreements, Mr. Cordell Hull said:"

"Fluctuations in exchange have created a state of confusion in the world markets, but I believe that this confusion will be only a transient condition incidental to the re-establishment of a new and better balanced stability."

Mr. Hull gave no hint of any foreign approaches on the question of stabilisation.

Mr., Morgenthau in his speech had sald that the United States would not place any obstacles in the way of International stabilisa tion, but would not act singly to per the dollar. Mr. Morgenthau argued that if the Administration launched out alone on such a court, It would put the country buck where it was in 1932 and offer a tempting invitation for other nations not to follow, but again to take advantage of the Administra- tion's disadvantage--Reutar.
