LONDON, April 17:-With the go
ing becoming harder and harder for
the Bonar Law government, specu-
lation Is rife as to who will be next
in line for the premiership.
Three men stand out: Earl CurZon
of Kedleston, the Earl of Derby and
Austen Chamberlain.
Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the
exchequer and strongest member of
the present cabinet, seems to have
been dropped from consideration
since the defeat of the government
by a snap majority on Tuesday, April
10. He was temporarily taking the
place of the prime minister, who had
lost his voice, when the Laborites
forced the vote while the Tories we're
still struggling in from dinner. For
his untactful handling of the situa-
ton, Baldwin has come in for con-
siderable criticism.
Although the Laborites are riding
their high horse now, it is not *
pected that they will be able to get
the ministry. Only in the last anal
ysis would Ramsay Mcdonald be
G1OhSo W d I@d0Ol 8ONC4i llilOllli
unless the old property-owning par
ties thought this the best way OF
forcing an election and badly defeat
ing Labor.
The CHER handicaps which Lord
Curzon or Lord Derby would have to
face would be the growing prejudice
against having a peer as premier.
The likeliest figure On the horizon
is Chamberlain IL he a be induced
to come back into the party and
unite all wings of the conservatives
under him. Even then there would
be a strong likelihood that he would
insist on having Lloyd George as his
chancellor of the exchequer and
Lord Birkenhead in another impor-
TAM job.
If the Conservatives failed to form
a cabinet under these circumstances
there Is a possibility that Lloyd
George or Asquith might be asked to
step in
