ISSUE MANIFESTO
London, Oct. 25.-A manifes-
to of the Labor party issued
this evening advocated removal
of the burden of the national
debt through the creation of a
war debt redemption fund by
special graduated levy of for
tunes exceeding 5000 pounds"
1t further declares for the
revision of the peace treaty and
German reparations for an in
ternatiOnal conference to ar
range the freedom of the straits,
for independence in Egypt and
self government in India.
London, Oct, 25.-The cabinet of
Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law
was sworn in at Birmingham Palace
this morning. As a result of the
taking of the oath of office the men,
bers Of the cabinet began to function
as the new government Immediately.
The king has summoned council
for today, at which the new minisr-
ers announced yesterday by the
prime minister, Bonar Law, will take
their oaths and receive 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, are calmly ap-
preciative.
The fact that eight f the new
ministers held office under the Lloyd
George administration deprives the
editorial writer's of an opportunity
of speculating upon their possible
achievements, and the tenor of the
editorials suggests the commentar-
ors are awaiting DISCLOSURE by the
prime minister of his full program
which he is expected to outline at
Glasgow tomorrow.
It is assumed all of yesterdays
appointees will be members of the
cabinet, except perhaps Attorney
General Douglas MEG. Hogg and the
Lord Advocate, w. A. Watson, and
there may be further cabinet ap-
pointments.% j. The Unionist POLITICAL
writers believe many Of the under
secretaryships and minor posts will
not be filled until after the election.
The new British cabinet as official
ly announced follows:
Lord President of the Council,
Marquis of Salisbury.
Lord High Cancellor, Viscouns
Cave.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Stan
ley Baldwin.
Secretary for Home Affairs, Will
liam C. Bridgeman.
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mar
quiE Curzon.
Secretary for tae Colonies, The
Duke Of Devonshire.
Secretary for India, Viscount Peel.
Secretary for War, The Earl of
Derby.
First Lord of sne Admiralty,
Lieut.. Col. L. C. M. S. Amery .
President of the Board of Trade
Sir Phillip Lloyd-creame.
Minister of Health, Sir Arthur
Grifith-Boscawed.
Minister of Agriculture, Sir Rob-
ert A. Sanders.
Secretary for Scotland, Viscount
Novar.
Attorney General, Douglas Nc
Hogg.
Lord Advocate, Honorable w. A.
Watson.
President of the Board Of Eiuca-
tion, Edward F. L. Wood, M. p, for
the Ripon Division of Yorkshire
The Times think the country's re-
ception of these appointments should
be favorable and should ensure the
good will of all who wish to see an
efficient, businebslike government.
The Daily Express says: "Thc
ministry will win the confidence of
the country"
The Daily Mail declares there are
signs of revolt in Scotland, parti-
cularly Glasgow, against Bonar
Laws administration, which are es-
pecially ominous, and predicts there
may be strange turns of the political
wheel before polling day.
The liberal newspapers are natur-
ally critical. The Lloyd Georgian
Daily Chronicale uses the caption:
"Lilliputian on the front BENCH
and finds it "a case not for argu-
ment but laughter" ...
"The men Bonar Law is assembl-
ing under his banner" says tha
Westminster Gazette, "are frag-
ments 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 ministery contains but
few able men.
With this act, the Coalition mini
stry of former Prime Minister
Lloyd George officially passed into
history. Previously in the day, the
members of his late cabinet went
to Buckingham Palace and surrend-
cred their seals of office to the
king. The ministers Of Mr.. Bonar
Laws new government received the
same symbols of power in turn
from the hands of their monarch.
This closed one of the most exciting
epochs of the political history Of
