LONDON, June 4 u.N.S).-Bald-
wins resignation makes 1t a fore
gone conclusion that J. Ramsay
Macdonald, labor leader. will soon
after be summoned by the monarch
and entrusted with the task of
forming a government-the second
labor government in the history Of
the country.
Cabinet Steps Out
MacDonald's victory at the polls
in the general election last week
was at one time threatened, for it
was reported that Baldwin might
refuse to resign and go before the
reassembled parliament as prime
minister and ask for a vote Of
confidence.
But mature consideration deferred
him from this step, as it was
reasoned q vote of non-confidence
was certain and that Il would be
far more graceful to step aside and
bow to the will Of the people i'm.
mediately.
The Conservative resignation, de.
cided upon at a cabinet meeting at
10 Downing Street late yesterday,
will go a long way toward straight.
ening out the political tangle which
followed the election. 1t will permit
MacDonad to go before parliament
as prime minister as the peoples
choice, and to take over the reins
of government as soon as parlia-
ment reassembles.
Job PreeariOus
1t will not make MacDonald's posi-.
ton any less precarious, for in spite
of the Conservative RELOCATION to the
background, Lloyd George and the
Liberal party still retain the balance
of power, due to Labor's failure to
achieve a clear ma ority in the cleo.
ton.
Mr.. Macdonald held q conference
at his Hampstead home with Labor'S
big four. H. Thomas, Philip
Snowden, Arthur Henderson and
J. r. Clynes-when they discussed
the makeup Of the forthcoming
Labor cabinet.
There Is much speculation over
the identity Of the Labor foreign
secretary. In addition to Mr. Hen.
derson, two others have been men.
toned IN this connection-Sir Oswald
Mosely and two non-labOrites, Lord
Cecil Of Chelwood and Lord d'Aber.

Lord Cecil resigned from the Brit.
