King Summons Council Today.
The king has summoned a council
for today, at which the new minis =
tiers announced yesterday by the
prime minister Bonar Law, will take
their oaths and received their seals.
Nowhere in the London Press this
morning is any special enthusiasm
shown for Mr.. Bonar Laws choices,
although the unionist papers, as
might be expected, as calmly appre-
ciative.
The fact that eight Of the new
ministers held office under the Lloyd
George administration deprives the
editorial writer's of an opportunity of
specializing upon their possible
achievements, and the tenor of the
editorials suggests the commentors
are awaiting disclosure by the prem
Ter of his full program which he is
expected to outline at Glasgow to-
morrow.
1t is assumed all of yesterdays ap-
pointees will be members of the cab
met, except perhaps Attorney Cen
eral Douglas MEG Hogg and lord ad =
vocate, w. A. Watson, and there may
be further cabinet appointments. ME
uniontst political writer's believe
many Of the under secretaryships
and minor posts will not be filled
until after the election.
Opinions Of The Press.
The Times thinks the country's
reception Of the appointments should
be favorable and should ensure the
good will of all. who wish to see an
efficient, businesslike government.
The Daily Express says: THE
ministry will win the confidence OF
the country"
The Daily Mail declares there are
signs of revolt in Scotland, partic-
ularly Glasgow, against Bonar Laws
administration, which are especially
ominous, and predicts there may be
strange turns Of the political wheel
before polling day:
The liberal newspapers are nat
urally critical. The Lloyd Georgian
Daily Chronicle uses the caption
Lilliputian on the front bench" and
find 1t "a case not for argument but
laughter"
The men Bonar Law is assernb
ling under his banner" says the
Westminster Gazette ARE fragments
Of the coalition which the country
condemns. Upon them rests the
charge of extravagances and other
blunders which applies to the whole
coalition"
The Asquithian Daily News de-
clares the ministry contains but few
able men.
With this act the coalition minis
try of former Premier Lloyd George
officially passed into history. Pre-
viously in. the day, the members of
his late cabinet went to Bucking
ham palace and surrendered their
seals Of Office to the king, The min
listers of Mr.. Bonar Laws new gov
Hnment received the same symbols
