PARLIAMENT OPENS WITHOUT CEREMONIES Public Interest Intense in Last’ Session of Present Body London, Jan. 22 M—No special ceremonies agtended the reopening of parliament this afternoon as this was merely the resumption of a scssion which adjourned just before Christmas for the holidays. There was pronounced public interest in the reasscmblage, however, as this is the last session of "the present parllament and much important “clean-up” work remains to be done. With no untoward political hap- pening, the Baldwin government should see the local government bill, main occupation of the present ses- sion, enacted in law and then be ‘prepared for the general election late in May or early in June. May 24 has been named as a favorable day on which to preclaim the dissolution. Nominations would be made eight days later, excluding Sundays, and polling would take place nine days after nominations, on Thursday, June 13. If this date is melected it can be well fixed In English minds, because clection day would fall between two famous horse racing events, derby week, which begins May 3, and As- cot week, beginning June 17. Uncertain as are the results of tha «lection, with 5,000,000 new women voters on the registers, conservative leaders are confident of'a majority of 60 or 70 of the 615 members of the house of commons. Should Mn. Baldwin not be in a position to form an independent administration, it i belleved the conservatives would go into opposition, leaving the respon- sibility of government to the labot party, or to a labor-liberal coalition. should the liberals gain sufficienjt scats in the election to demssid recognition in the cabinet. ' Followers of the situation antiel- pate that while the Baldwin gove ment and its conservative ragks will lose seats to both llbDfifEl:lfll liberals, they will still have a small majority in the next house. byt = majority smaller than the 60 70 which conservative leaders preflict. Postponement of the gencral plec- tion until after the summer holidays is considered very unljkely.
