LONDON, England, May 25.-Stan-
ley Baldwin will submit his resigna-
ton to the King Friday morning, and
within a few hours Great Britain will
have a new prime minister in the
person of Neville Chamberlain, the
only prime minister of the great
Chamberlain family triumvirate.
Baldwin will retire amid applause
from his own Conservative party and
with the full sympathy of the British
people, most of whom have forgotten
that as late as last November they
were calling him "Old Sealed Lips
and predicting that he could not last
in Office until the coronation.
Chamberlain, an unromantic figure
with a good business head but without
the great Joseph and the fiery Austen,
will take over without much enthu-
siastic support from any particular
section of the population and with 4
great deal of criticism still raining
down about his head because of his
proposal to tax increased profits dur
ing the rearmament period.
The notifications which Chamber
lain made in his original national

he explained in the House Of Com
mons last night have failed to soothe
business men and industrialists who
object to any tax on prosperity and
would have preferred to pay for re-
armament by a heavier increase in
