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 But whcilrcr he would res’ n to- morrow. whether" he would gmaize 5.0m‘ 5 reccfistrlicled mTIlSPTY- He another nuemp; 1,0 bung me Con- lollowccl their novice with the re- fligflng gfQups together under his suit that he delayed in seeing the leadership, or whether Labor mem- Kmll- bcr= wcud enter any coalition cab- .rrct without consent of the arty conference which opens next on- Churchill Favored ish and French were nnnnrng nn. ‘(luv at Bournemouth were questions mediate attack on the Rgqch which could not be answered. through territories of the two lieu- trals.

If the protect is approved the company will begin remodelling its Amherst plant immediately. One of the reasons Mr, Churchill is favored over Lord Halifax as the next prime minister‘ is the long standin opposition in this country to the eader of the government sitting in the House of Lords. Of course. in 1r national emergency this feeling might be set aside, but it is verv deep rooted. If Mr. Chamberlain remains , in office as a group of his poltical followers has ur ed him to do. he might resign tec rnicailv to dissolve 11L; government and then recon- struct lt, leaving out any ministers he desired.
