BALDWINTORESIGN, REACHING DECISION AFTER CONFERENCE Acts on Advice of Powerful Leaders of His Party and Press. LLOYD GEORGE REPORTED AGAINST TORY ALLIANCE Press Story Says He Has Decided Not to Oppose Labor in Coalition. the Associated Press LONDON, June 3-—In conference with his colleagues of the cabinet this | afternoon, Stanley Baldwin, prime | ter of England. and head of the rvative government. which has guided the nation since October, 1924, | decided to tender the resignation of his | ministry to the King. i His action. caused by the defeat of the Conservative party in the general electiol Thursday, is in agreement| with constitutional usage and with the | advice of powerful Conservative leaders | and most of the Conservative press. The lobby correspondent of the Daily Express today said in the columns of that paper that David Llyod George had decided the Liberal party would not support the Conservatives in a coalition against Labor. ‘The paper said the Liberal chieftain met with Lord Reading, Sir Herbert Samuel and two others yesterday and would meet his “shadow cabinet” today. 1f his colleagues concurred in his views the party will be advised accordingly. Premier Baldwin, back in Downing street after a week end at Chequers Court, began consultations with govern- ment leaders this afternoon. Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, and Sir Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary, were the first to take up with their chief the question of what policy the Conservatives will adopt }n the face of their smashing defeat in| ast week’s general election. i | Ministers Will Meet. The prime minister's return to Lon- don contrasted sharply with the vic- torious entrance of Ramsay MacDonald, the Laborite chieftain, who now heads the strongest party in the new Parlia- ment. During the week end while Premier Baldwin was at Chequers there were many visitors at the famous house, in- cluding King George's private secretary, Lord Stamfordham, and the Marquis of | Salisbury, Conservative party leader ln{ the House of Lords. Lord Stamfordham’s visit only became known when his chauffeur inquired at High Wycombe which was the right road for Chequers. The police officer noted that there were no number plates on the car. On calling attention to this he was informed that it was a royal car, whose ogcupant was the King's private secretary. It was presumed that Lord Stam- fordham wished to get some idea for the King what politioal procedure would likely be followed within the next few days. Messages From All Over World. Ramsay MacDonald spent the morn- ing at his Hamstead home dealing with a mass of correspondence. including heaps of congratulatory messages from all over the world. ‘Regards from Swedish flappe; one message.

Sinclair Gets Six Months More. ‘The ruling that sent Day to jail imposed an additional six months’ sentence on Sinclair. In advance of the ruling, authorities speculated whether the oil man would have to serve six months in addition to the 90 days imposed for his contempt of the United States Senate or whether the two sentences might run concurrently in part. It was said at the jail that in any event. the routine for him would be the same.

June 3.—Grain prices turned the corner today and, spurred by prophecies of quick governmental action to relieve the surplus crop situ- ation. raced uphill in sensational leaps. Wheat jumped up nearly 9 cents a bushel at the opening and settled back at the close to an advance of 53 to 61x cents over Saturday's dull closing quo- tations. July wheat, selling under a dollar last week for the first time in six_years, finished today at $1.03% to $1.03%. All grains traded in the futures pits came back, corn rising 37 to 4% and oats 13, to 134, the trade disregarding all routine crop news and harvest pre- dictions and listening only to the re- ports from Congress. July corn closed ntvafi to 85's and July oats at 423, to 4275, Other grains shared the upward ‘boost in wheat, although to less degree. Predictions that a farm relief meas- ure was an immediate certainty gave heart to the buyers. Reports from ‘Washington prophesied that.Congress, witnessing the depression of wheat to 40 cents a bushel under the season'’s peak, would speed the creation of a Hartford, stabflization corporation which could go | immediately to the rescue of the farmer by buying sufficient wheat to check slipping prices. A permanent solution in the grain surplus problem also was suggested in a Government-sponsored proil;lunhm reduce the acreage devoted to wheat. Capt. Courtney Seeks Citizenship.

Canada, he said, was co-operating fully with the United States and “has done more in helping the enforcement of prohibition in the United States than the Government of the United States has been able to do.” “The present demands made on the Canadian government,” he added, “are nothing but a confession of weakness on the part of the United States Gov ernment and an example of the com- | plete failure of prohibition.” Says Promises Fulfilled. The New York member said the Canadian government had faithfully fulfilled the stipulations agreed upon in the treaty of 1924. “Now the United States Government asks the Canadian government,” he continued. “to change its law, to make that which is now lawful in Canada a crime and to deny clearance to vessels containing liquor bound for the United States and even to prevent deliveries of liquor from the distilleries and ware- houses if such liquor is eventually to find its way into the United States. “Such a far-fetched request of ask- ing a foreign government to enact laws in order to make unlawful in order to in their country is lawful in order to assist the enforcement of a local law has never been previously recorded in the history of the world.
