London. Oct. 24.-By A. ?)-
Premier Bonar Law tonight issued
a list of the principal members OF his
ministry. His own name is not
mentioned in the official list wncih
leaves it to be inferred that he takes
no other Office than that of prime
minister and first lord of the treas
ury, the latter being a post without
specified duties beyond these at
taching to the premiership.
Marquis Curzon retains his post
as secretary for foreign affairs and
will be leader of the House of Lords.
Eiscount Peel retains the Indian
secretaryship. Stanley Baldwin, as
expected, goes to the eXchequer. but
it has not yet been announced wheth-
er he will be leader in the House Of
Commons.
The Earl of Derby at the war Of
flce, resumes a post whic hhe has
held before. The prime minister lad

There are still a number of APP
pointments to be made. and it is no
ticeable that the five offices held un-
der Premier Lloyd George by Austen
Chamberlain, H. A. T.. Fisher. T. j.
Mcnamara. Sir Hamar Greenwood
and the Earl of Crawford and Bal
cares, who all joined Lloyd George
in the wilderness, are not yet filed.
Ii is expected that the Office Of chief
secretary for Ireland will be abolish
ed, and that the ministry of labor
will be merged into some other de-
partment.
Election campaigning went into
full swing today. and as light begins
to emerge from the confusion into
which the sudden collapse of the
coalition threw the political world,
two distinct tendencies are becoming
evident. The first, and most import
ant, is the fear evidently animating
all the other parties of the unknown
quantity in the labor vote of the cleo
torate.
Labor has been by far the most
successful of the various parties in
all the bye elections since the cleo
tions of 1918.
1t is quite possible that this ap-
prehension accounts for the second
notable tendency, namely, the desire
of the Conservatives to do every
thing possible to avoid accentuating
the cleavage in their party. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Bonar Law still
hopes for eventual reconciliation with
those Conservative leaders remained
faithful to Lloyd George. and the
real motive for the wish to heal the
split in the party is the hope of
countering labor's expected attack on
property
Perhaps the most notable event Of
the day has been Reginald McKen-
mas frank support of the Bonar Law
administration. This mus, be ire
mendous disappointment to the As
quithian liberals and is. at the same
time. an enormous asset to tho new
administration.
There is manifestly fear of the ad-
vent OF labor government, with at
tacks On capital in the shape of
levy on capital and upon private en-
tcrprise in trade and industry.
