TWELVE PAGES MACDONALD CALLED TO FORM CABINET Change in Civic Government of Oshawa Proposed LABOR PARTY LEADER IS SUMMONED BY KING AND ASKED T0 Premier Baldwin's Resigna- tion Is Accepted by His Majesty, Ending Five Years of Conservative Rule in Great Britain as Result of General Election SPECULATION AS TO THE NEW CABINET New Premier Has an Abund- ance of Material From Which To Select His Min- isters--Woman Likely to be in Cabinet for the First Time in Britain's History (By George Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) London, June 4.--Following the resignation of Premier Stanley Baldwin today King George sum- moned Rt. Hon. J. Ramsay Mac- Donald, Labor leader to Windsor Castle, presumably to ask him to form a government. It will be Great Britain's second Labor ad- ministration and the second time Mr. MacDonald has occupied the premiership. Labor men are confident Mr, MacDonald will have no difficulty in forming a government and indeed it is rumored he has his cabinet all but completed already. His fol- lowing in the House comprises a large, number of men from the professional classes and these, no doubt, will be called upon to vc¢- cupy a number of cabinet puss. Woman For Cabinet It is likely, too, the new ministry will contain a woman cabinet min- ister for the first time in British history. Both Miss Susan Law- rence and Miss Margaret Bondfield are mentioned in connection with the ministry of health, In.the last Labor government Miss Bondfield was parliamentary secretary to the ministry of Labor and was the first woman to be appointed a member of a British Government. But that position did not carry cabinet rank and the idea now is to recognize the increased importance of the feminine electorate and the in- creased number of women in the House by appointing a woman to the cabinet. Suggested Ministers In the meantime prophets are busy constructing Mr. MacDonald's cabinet and, as in their pre-election prophecies, they all differ. Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden, it is taken for granted, will again be chancellor of the exchequer. Rt. Hon. J. R. Cly- nes, it is said, is slated either for the home office or for his former post of lord privy seal and deputy leader of the House. Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, former Home Secretary, is prom- inently mentioned as the new For- eign Secretary; a post Mr, Mac- donald held himself along with the Premiership. Other suggestions are: Lord Chancellor, Lord Justice Sankey; Secretary for the Domin- ions, Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas; Air Secretary, Lord Thomson; Presi- dent of the Board of Education, Sir Charles Trevelyan; Secretary for War, Lord Arnold or Hugh Dalton; Secretary for India, Lord Olivier; first lord of the Admir- alty, Viscount Chelmsford, Rt, Hon. J. C. Wedgwood, or Captain Benn; Minister of Labor, Arthur Greenwood; Secretary for Scot- land, Tom Johnson. Farmer Gored to Death Saskatoon.--J, W.

TAKE OFFICE {AMENDMENT TO RAILWAY BILL MOVED IN HOUSE Ottawa, June 4.--An amend- 4, it had the same interest in the House of Commons providing for an -ependiture of $50,000,000 for the construction of Canadian Na- tional Railways terminals in Mont- real, was moved in the House tu- day by Hon. R. B.

Air, is not en- titled to the ownership of the church and manse at Grafton, now in the possession of a congregation adhering to the United Church of Canada. By the deed of gift in 1844 it was provided that the doctrines as contained in the Westminster con- fession of faith were to be taugh and preached in the church. It was claimed on behalf of the con- gregation of the continuing Pres- byterian church that the United church congregation has no title to the property in that it had not ad- bered to the Westminster confes- sion of faith. Chief Justice Mulock, who writes the judgment, states that the body of people who constituted the cun- gregation of the Presbyterian St. Andrew's church at Grafton, con- tinued as a congregation when fit entered the United church, and, subject to the provisions of section b, it. had the same interest in the property in question when it be- came a congregation as a part of the United church as it enjoyed before entering the union.

Belgium's Accepiaine of German Proposals Settles Problems of Post-War Europe (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Paris, June 4--The last barrier to a complete agreement by the experts committee on the reparations qustion was removed today and the long out- standing problem of Europe's post- war life may be considered officially settled. The Belgiums this afternoon ac- cepted proposals presented by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht looking toward solution of the 'controversial problem of the redemption of German marks left in Belgium after the war for which Belgium is demanding 37 annuities of 25,000,000 marks (about 000). "With the acceptance by the: Bel.' gians of the German proposal appro- val of the experts' reports embody- ing the reparations annuities sugges- ted by Owen. D. Young, the. chair- man, now becomes unanimous and the historic report which must still be submitted 'to the governments concerned for ratification, 'will be signed either on Friday or Saturday, While accepting the procedure, the Belgians made the express condition that no territorial considerations would enter into the conversations.

The appropriation was a direct result of a conference Pence Mayor T. B. Mitchell and Hon. J. C Elliott, minister of public works and Hon. J. A, Robb, minister of finance at Ottawa recently. This is the first work that the Dominion government has done on the harbor herc since three years, when $35,000 was spent in placing the breakwater and a con- crete. wall at the entrance to the harbor. It still has to be deepened, and there is considerable other work yet to be done, so that the $50,000 appropriation will not mean a com- pleter' harbor, Mayor Mitchell stated to The Times today. Council Pleased + "The members of the city council are very glad to see the appropriation $50,000 for the Oshawa harbor tabled in the supplementary csti- mates, 'Mr. Mitchell said. "While this does not mean that we will re- ceive all the improvements required at the harbor, it is another step to- wards giving Oshawa a complete harbor. have every confidence that, when Oshawa's harbor is com- pleted, the city can find plenty of usc for it. Port of Call Mr. Mitchell 'said that the Canada Steamship Lines had informed him that it would make Oshawa a port of call immediately the Oshawa har- bor were sufficiently "developed. General Motors, he said, would use it to a considerable extent, particu- larly in transporting parts from the St. Catharines plant to the Oshawa assembly plants. Mr. Mitchell also quoted an instance of this spring, when a party of capitalists sailing down Lake Ontario wanted to dock at Oshawa, = but found that they could not enter the harbor here. Seek Ear]y Start The city would press for an imme- diate commencement of the work, Mr. Mitchell said, so that this unit of harbor development would be completed this year. Then a further effort would no doubt be made the following year in an endeavor to have the work pushed on to comple- tion.

FORWARD Provision For New Ships Will Be Made in Next Federal Budget (By Canadian Préss Leased Wire) Washington, D:C, June 4~The American cruiser building programme will be carried forward by President Hoover as laid down by congress and provision for new ships will be made mn the next federal budget. The administration recognizes that work toward construction of 15 addi- tional 10,000 ton fighting ships is made mandatory under the program until an agreement for reduction of sca armaments is rcached by the leading nations and ratified by the senate, and the president has no in- tention of attempting to modify or abandon that policy. While officials here say they do not care to make any predicition as to the time for holding the next disarm- ament meeting, from the nature of the task ahead of the naval experts, such a conference during the pres- ent vear is regarded in Washington as highly improbably. Some naval opinion seems. to bei that there is little likelihood of a meeting of the great powers in ad- vance of that provided for in the Washington arms conference treaties, which is in 1931. The date, however, may be advanced from mid-summer of taht year to the early spring. $30,000 Mining Shares and Club Bag Disappear Ottawa, June 4, -- A clup bag containing $30,000 in 'mining gharev belonging to J.

Since the proposals were submitted by Senator Raoul Dandurand at the March meeting of the council the special committee of study set up has met, considered not only the Canadian proposals but also those of Dr. Gustave Stresemann, minister of foreign affairs for Ger- many and formulated its report. That report will not be made public until it is formally submitted to the coun- cil but ,according to common rumor, the report does not make any dras- tic recommendations in regard to procedure, It was with proceedure in the handling of minority petitions that the Dandurand proposals dealt. Sena- tor Dandurand particularly attacked the atmosphere of mystery and sil- ence which surrounded 'the consi- deration of petitions presented by minorities whose treaty rights are guaranteed by 'the League. Under the present proceedure the minor- ity petitions go to a committee of three for consideration. Objection taken to the system is that the peti- tioner is not kept informed as to what has happened. The committee has been termed by critics the "tomb of three." Senator Dandurand proposed that for the "tomb of three," should be substituted a committee of the whole council of fourteen. And to make sure a "tomb of fourteen" would not develop he made other proposals in regard to publicity, But his proposals, from the day they were first made public, have met with objections.

Prohibition . Doubtful .. tenses Populace Flee From Terrors Of Vesuvius Vineyards and | Woods Des- troyed--Troops Aid Evacuation Naples, Italy, June 4.--The eruption which burst from Mount Vesuvius yesterday became more serious today and caused the evacuation late this afternoon of the town of Barre before a heav- ily increased flow of lava from the crater. Latest dispatches said that the lava was moving with irresistible force at the rate of 150 feet an bour and had increased in width to more than 70 feet. It was only 650 feet from the town of Barre at 4 pm. (10.00 a.m, E.S.T.) and only half a mile from the town of Terzigno. Panic had seized upon the population of neighboring towns. Malladra of the Vesuvian obser- vatory said this afternoon that there was a decided increase in the lava flow from the cone through which the eruption burst. The in- terior of this cone in the crater is a lake of boiling rock and lava. / The vineyards and woods hear Terzigno were destroyed by the lava' today. Although an carly official state- ment from the Vesuvian observa- tory declared that the would gradually die away, the au- thorities considered the situation dangerous. Prompt measures were taken, A trainload of soldiers was sent to Barre to superintend the evacua- tion of the town. General Taranto, commandant of the army corps in this area, Count Capialbi, vice-pre- fect, and a number of engineers went in a special train to Terzigno to survey the menaced territory. Molten lava' was pouring from the eruptive cone at the rate of 10 feet a second, observers reported late in the afternoon. The evacuation of Barre was carried out in perfect order. The scene was extremely picturesque as the inhabitants of the threat- ened town carried off all their belongings they could load into carts. eruption T Also Proposes That Each Ward Have Two Instead of Three Representatives, and That the Term of Office Be Extended To Two Years Instead of One as at Present 5 WOULD ALSO PAY ! ALDERMEN SALARY Mattei Is Handed Over To The Finance Committee to Consider, and Report to Council Before July 15 --People Would Have to Vote on the Question Four proposed alterations to the method of conducting the municipal government. of this city were brought before the Oshawa city council at its meeting last night, by Alderman S. G. Carnell who has been working for some time on this question. The four suggestions of Alderman Carnell were that two new wards be created in the city; that' two aldermen be elected in cach ward instead of three, that the term of office of members of the city council be extended to two years; and that aldermen be paid for their services at the rate of $5 per 'council or committee meeting, not to exceed $200 per year. All of these proposals were passed on to the finance committee for ton- sideration, and a report on them will probably be submitted by the com- mittee at the next meeting of the council, Two New Wards Alderman Carnell pointed out that if the proposal to create two new wards in the city were to be gone ahcad with, a hearing of the matter fore the Ontario Railway and Muni cipal Board was necessary and that the Municipal Act required that de- finite action be taken in applying for this hearing before July 15 in the year in which it was proposed 10 make it effective. He urged the coun- cil to take prompt action, and his motion on the question, seconded by Alderman E. Jackson was passed as follows : "That whereas this council deems it expedient that a new division of the wards of this city is essential for a better and more equalized represen- tation, it requests the finance com- mittec to consider the matter and report to his council in time for the necessary application to the Munici- pal Board." Repr Alderntan im proposal was that 2 new ward be created out of each of the north-east and south-east wards, to lic east of Ritson road. At the present time, representation in the council was very unequal, he said. Cedardale, for instance, sent one al- derman for each 200 electors, while the northeeast and south-east wards sent one alderman to each 1,000 elect- ors. By splitting these large w. ards, rep resentation would be made more in accordance with population, New ward 6, lying north of King street and east of Ritson road, would comprise the present polling subdivie sions 11b, with a population last year of 819 and an assessment of $712,530. Since this was rapidly de« veloping, this population would be almost double 'this year, the alder< man contended. New ward 7, lying south of King street, north of Bloor street and east of Ritson road, would take in the present polling subdivi« sion 7, which last year had a popu~ lation' of 2,204 and an assessment of $797,780, These two wards compared with Cedardale, which had a popula« (Continued on Page 5) Kingston Flying Club's Municipal Airport Was Officially Opened Today (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Kingston, Ont., June 4--With sev- eral thousand people Witnessing, the event, the Kingston Flying Club's new municipal airport was officially opened this afternoon by Mayor W, H.
