Present Prime Minister May Carry On With Reconstructed Cabinet — Churchill Or Lord Halifax MentionedAsSuccessoif

i

(By J. F. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, May 9—(CP Cable)—Liberal and Labor leaders. it was stated on high authority tonight, have de- clined to enter a coalition Government under Prime Min- rster Chamberlain and consequently he may step aside in favor of a man acceptable to all parties.

_The Prime Minister, with Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax and Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admir- alty, conferred for 45 minutes at l0 Downing Street with Clement Attlee, Labor parliamentary leader, and Arthur Greenwood, deputy leader.

They informed the Prime Minister, it was reliably re- ported, that representatives of the Labor Party would not enter a Government of which he was head. It was under- stood that the opposition Liberals led by Sir Archibald Sinclair have adopted the same attitude.

_ Political observers agreed that the choice of the next Prime Minister‘, should Mr. Chamberlain resign, rests be- tween Mr. Churchill and Viscount Halifax with the odds at the moment favoring the blunt-spoken First Lord of the Admiralty.

T h e situation seemed to be this:-

Mr. Chamberlain, appar- ently rebuffed by the Labor and Liberal parties, will rc- sign if there is no change in this position, making way for a man acceptable to all political groups.

tonight " '

It was possible Mr. Chamberlain might consent to enter a govern- ment under Mr. Churchill or Lord Halifax. but there was nothing dei- inite on that point at the moment.

Mr. Clamberlain was expected to call upon the King at Buckingham Peace during the day but he did not do so. It was reported during the iirornlng that his mind was sct on th.s course but that a group oi iris followers in the House of Com- mons persuaded him to attempt to

He tried to place the responsib- ility for the bloodshed Norway on King Haakon and the cabinet of Johan Nygaarsvoid. which he stigmatized as "the former Nor"- wegian Government."

I-lis alternative condition for liberty for these soldiers was tlrai they disregard their Government's appeal and "individually obligate themselves by solemn word of hon- or under no circumstances to pai- tieipate in further combative ac- tion against Ger-many!’

There was no indication as to how mnnv captives might be in-

Hitler based his offer to the cap- tured Norwegiens on the premise that they disdained “all cowardly. unfair methods" in fighting the Ger-than invaders and that both soldiers and civilians "always look- ed after our wounded."
