of the Board of Trade; Minister of

Sir Philip Lloyd-Graeme. who was Di-
rector of the Overseas Trade Depart

No Secretary for Ireland
An interesting feature of the new
Cabinet is that it is the first since the
act of union between Great Britain and
Ireland, in 1902, in which there has
been no Chief Secretary for Ireland.
Sir Hamar Greenwood held the post in
the retiring ministry.
1t is understood that the Cabinet
named this evening will be revised con-
siderably after the election. It will
serve as a stop-gap until the Conserva-
tive party shall have received pnnular
approval for it's administration. Among
the men who are expected to find
places in the post-eIection min ;stry
are Reginald McKenna, formerly
Chancellor of the Exchequer under
Mr.. Asquith, who, although a life
long Liberal, has come out For BonAr
Law and the unionists. and Sir George
Younger, Unionist whip, whose activ-
ity in organizing the conservative re-
volt of last February Is credited with
being largely responsible for tho
eventual oyerturn of the George
ministry.
The Asquith Liberals are first in the
field with definite election program.
