The appeal to the coun- try was on behalf of a national government headed by Macdonald and the voters would not regard the knifing of the Scottish states man as sporting" Constitutional precedent pro- vides now for Macdonald consult ing Stanley Baldwin, Sir Herbert Samuel and other leaders of the coalition on revising and enlarging the temporary cabinet for subn1is- sion to the king. Neville Chamber lain was considered certain suc- cessor to Philip Snowden as chan cellor of the exchequer. Snowden has retired from politics and did not stand for reelection. The success of the Simon faction IS of whom were elected and only one defeated so far, made 1t prob able that Simon and Sir Leslie Norelisha would be invited to join the cabinet. Simon was among those reelected.
 Lloyd George was among the handful of opposition members elected. It was his 18th election. He was given 17,101 votes against 11,714 for his conservative oppon- ent, Capt F. Page-Gour1ay. In 1929, Lloyd George had major ity of 9,133 against a conservative and a labor opponent. Lloyd George, convalescing from grave illness at his homo at Churt, Surrey, listened to the story of the landslide over the radio last night, but his doctors finally com pelled him to go to bed and discon- nected the radio.
 The labor rout was emphasized when William Graham, former president of the board of trade and deputy leader of the party, was de- feated in Edinburgh. He boiled 10,566 votes against 17,293 for J. C.. M. Guy and 1,319 for Fred Doug las, communist, the latter forfeit ing his deposit.
 Of the labor candidates of for mer cabinet rank, only the Veteran George Lansbury was reelected. William Adamson former secre- tary for Scotland, was the last to go down and will be unable to &C., company Lansbury on the front opposition bench. There was much speculation whether the remnants of labor would take Lloyd George as their leader.
 The immediate result of the elec- ton will be that the Macdonald government can proceed with an absolutely free hand towards put ting it's economic rehabilitation program into effect. It probably will include:
 l. A tariff.
 2. International action to revise war debts and separations.
 3. International conference on gold.
 4. Creation of a favorable trade balance.
 5. Finding work for the unem- ployed by adoption of any practical proposal.
 6. Conversion of the war loan.
 Reduction of the dole and the other economies recently put into effect will be retained. When the budget is balanced, lower taxes may result.

 Washington, Oct 2S-(UP)-The victory of the nationalist govern ment in England, opens the way for a protective tariff there, in- creasing disadvantages to the United States which followed sus- pension of the gold standard.
 The tariff issue was played down in the British election, but the vic tory gave the government free hand to act on it's own. Some o1 the most influential conservatives are determined to throw over
