From the viewpoint of the general British public Mr. Baldwin comes ai- most as an unkmown quantity, but with every chance of becoming popular.

CURZON TO STAY IN. | By the Associnted Press LONDON, May Lord will continue toct a&s secre- tary for foreign affairs in the cabi- net of Prime Minister Baldwin, suc- cording to unoffictal predictions in government circles today One of Lord Curzon's first mcts in his new ministry will be to deal with Russia's second reply to the British ultimatu; m ‘which it is expected Leonid Krassin, soviet representative here will hand in today or tomorrow. Diplomatic circles continue their attitude of extreme reserve regarding the ultimate outcome of the present controversy between Great Britian and soviet Russia, declaring the decision rests with Moscow. In other quarters _the predictions are about equally divided between a break und continuance of felations. British trade circles deciare Ru sia is anxlous to avold dissolution of the trade agreement which means | much more to her than to England, and that she will yield finally to| ‘urson’s demands. Added to the unofeial predictions of the continued incumbency of the forelgn secretary was & statement by the press association saying it under- stood Lord Curzon wouid contimueé in his present post in the new cabinet. Baldwin Hafled by Press. No incoming prime minister could wish for a better reception from the press than that accorded Stanley Bald- win. ‘The morning newspapers say the appointment is tn accordance with pop- unlar wishes, and is the best solution under the circumstances. from conservative quarters throughout the country cenfirm this opinion. Some of the opposition critics regard the appointment as a triumph for th die-hard section of the conservative party. The Dally Chromicle. a stanch supporter of Lloyd Géorge, says: “It testifies to an orfentation of the conservative,. which is full of menaoce for the nation's future.” Lord: Curzon, the newspaper con- tinues, was passed by because the die-hards have declared a vendetta against him. The Chronicle sneers at Mr. Baldwin's budget and regard- ing his part in the Anglo-American debt negotfations it savs: “It is pos sible trat no negotiator could have got better terms, -but it is certain that none would have got worse.” Lloyd George Opposes. This remark Is apparently inspired his constituents at Llanfairfechan last night, in wh the former prime minister. ‘notwiihstanding Lis prom- ise to refrain frem-captious critieism, made it clear that the new ministry would receive less forbearance from did The speech is gener- ally intafpreted ar foreshadowing a couslstent Georgiie opposition. One outcome of the change of min- istry much discusSed as a probability s the hastening of a reunion of the two wings of the liberal party. How- ever, unification of the divided con- servatives is even more talked of. Horne_ May Get Post Mr. Baldwin is credited with being most desirous of having the dis- gruntled conservative members of the coalition government return to the fold, and it is_said he would wel- come not only 8ir Robert Horne, but Austen Chamberlaln and Sir Lamin Worthington-Evans as future collab- orators. Sir Robert, a "close pe: 1 friend of the new premier, de having recelved an.invitation to become chancellor of the exchequer, but nobody doubts that he is in the ruaning for the post. It Sir Robert's appointment do not materialize, it is suggested thal Mr. Chamberlain may be induced to become chancellor.
