MAC DONALD GOVERNMENT
TO RULE FOR FEW DAYS

LONDON Oct. 81 (By The Asso-
| ciated Press The Laborite cabinet
headed by Premier Macdonald, af-
| ter a two hour session this morning,
is understood to have decided to re-
| main in office q few days and then
resign before the assembling of the
New Parliament.
1t is expected that the cabinet will
resign next week rather than meet
| the new Parliament and be turned
out upon the Kings address.
The desire on the part of the gov
ernment to remain in office a few
days longer is due to the necessity of
clearing up departmental business.
| Meanwhile, Mr.. Macdonald will
spend his last weekend for a long
| time-perhaps forever-in the prime
| ministerial official rustic retreat at
Chequers.
Another cabinet meeting is set for
Tuesday but, it is understood. the
members of the cabinet have left the
| premier free to decide upon their
resignation before then If he so de-
sires.
One of the most important matters
discussed at the meeting today was
| the alleged Zinovieff letter. 1t is be-
1
| for the decision to hold in allegiance
| the designations of the cabinet men,
| bers is the desire to carry out Mr..
MacDonald's promise to probe to the
| bottom the incident of the alleged
Russian letter and the subsequent
British and Russian exchange of
protests.
Meantime, it is learned that the
Il m xzFf1I n m
Sandringham next Monday presuma-
bly, to be on hand should the neces-
sity arise from his receiving Mr..
Macdonald.
Later, an official communique was
issued announcing that the cabinet
had appointed a committee to ex-
anime the question of the authentic
ity of the Zinovieff letter.
With the exception of a few out
standing returns from the UNIVERSE
ties and Scotland the results of the
elections showed the composition of
the new Commons TO be-as follows:
Conservatives, S9S.
Labor. 149.
Liberals, 40.
Independents, 4. is.<ad4
Co-operatives, 5.
Constitutionalists 3. s-
Communists, 1.
Total. 600.
The full membership of the House
is 615. and 1t was expected that when
the returns from the universities
were received the conservatives
would muster 400 or more seats.
These returns showed that the
conservatives made a net gain of
1853: the Liberals net loss was Ill
and the Labor.tes' Al.

The True American Family

The true American family can only
be found in the rural districts. So
said on official of the federal Depart
ment of Agriculture in speaking be.
fore a national life conference i'm Mil.
waukee the other day.
''The city" he declared, sis the place
of fewer families, more unmarried
adults and fewer children in families
having children. Space is too dear in
the cities for children. Families who
desire children must move to the coun-
try. The farm has sunlight, space, air
and quiet. That's why the children
are there.
THE common occupation of the
farmers family also tends to weld
more firmly the family idea. The rural
home and family becomes, therefore,
a type in the nation. The city family
has long ceased to be the type of
American family. The rural home is
holding the line for the family idea in
the nation. There is reason rural
life is significant. If the rural struc-
ture crumbles, the nation crumbles. =
