RADICAL CHANGES MAY BE DELAYED

London, Nov. 19.

The newspapers continue to speculate on the reorganisation of the government following the General Election, and the suggestion is now made in some quarters that the Prime Minister may decide to make a few changes in the early days of the new Parliament and to postpone reconstruction until some time next year.
