BALDWIN MAY FIND SEAT

FOR MACDONALD

London, Nov. 15.

The standing of the parties of Great Britain at 9.15 p.m. to-night, with sixteen results still outstanding, is as follows:

GOVERNMENT, 421; OPPOSITION, 178.

The Government consists of 379 Conservatives, 31 Liberal Nationals, eight National Labourites, two Nationals and one. Independent. The Opposition comprises 153 Labourites, four LL.P. seats, 16 Liberals and four Independent Liberals and one Communist.

Political circles are of the opinion that Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister, will try to find a seat for Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, who was defeated at Seaham. But it cannot be expected that he can find a seat for Mr. Malcolm MacDonald also, and the young Colonial Secretary will step down from office.

"The results are splendid," declared Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister, in a message to the country to-night. "The nation has expressed decisively its confidence in our will and ability to continue our works for national restoration and world peace.

"I am most grateful to those who laboured so un- sparingly to achieve this success. We shall give all that is in us in the years ahead to justify the coun- try's trust."

With only about a score of seats to fill the Govern- ment majority in the new Parliament may be estimated at about 250. The reduction of the majority, compared with the old Parliament, is regarded as likely to benefit the Commons and abolish the tendency to lethargy among the majority and the discouragement among the minority due to the overwhelming preponderance of National Government supporters.
