NEWS AND NOTES O NCE more, we are ruled by a Baldwin Ministry. The change of Prime Ministers was made so swiftly and smoothly th a t i t did not even become th e chief topic of conversation in the West-End clubs. Mr. MacDonald has not ceased ,to be a member of th e C abinet; and th e Government has been reconstructed with only three retirements. Lord Sankey, th e Labour Lord Chancellor, gives up th e Woolsack without finding any other ministerial s e a t ; Sir John Gilmour leaves both th e Home Office and th e C abinet; and Sir E. Hilton Young, lately Minister of Health, ascends to the House of Lords.
On the whole, th e shuffle of portfolios by which the Baldwin is distinguished from the MacDonald Ministry is satisfactory to the public. That Sir Samuel Hoare should exchange th e Indian for the Foreign Secretaryship while the India Bill is still being fought through Parliament was a surprise ; but Mr. Baldwin knows what he is doing and his clever appointment of Lord Zetland as Secretary of State for India may prove to be a fine stroke of business. Although Sir John Simon may get a little rest a t the Home Office, we have small doubt th a t his voice will be usefully raised a t Cabinet Councils when difficulties arise in foreign affairs. Why Lord Halifax has gone to th e War Office we do not attem p t to explain. As Catholics, however, we welcome Mr. Oliver Stanley to th e Board of Education, and we earnestly pray th a t he may bring nearer th a t settlement of th e Schools Question for which all the British people save a b itte r and obsolescent minority are ripe. Lord Eustace Percy, who is to strengthen the Baldwin Cabinet as a Minister without portfolio, is an ex-President of the Board of Education who did five years’ excellent work (1924-1929) in th a t capacity, and we are not without hope th a t his inclusion in the Ministry bodes good for the Non-Provided Schools. To those Nonconformists and 1906 Liberals who paw th e ground like old war-horses a t th e smallest mention of justice for Catholic schools, we pass the reminder th a t Catholics do not ask for anything which they do not wish Anglicans, Methodists, Jews and all other builders of Non-Provided Schools
(i.e., Schools which have not been provided by the State) equally to enjoy.

t h a t Bolivia and Paraguay have signed some sort of armistice is welcome news which is not yet definite enough to justify unqualified rejoicings. The Argentine and other mediators are to settle the precise fronts and strategic positions of the belligerent armies for the period of the armistice ; and, as Paraguay has recently scored another success, the
