LONDON. Oct. 23 (By The As sociated I'reaa. ) Andrew Hunat Lnw today, In the traditional phrase , of the Court circular 'kissed liunda upon hia appoint ment aa prime mlniater and first loul of the treasury." and thus becomes England's first Canadian born premier. Today was devoted to the for- nialltles necessary In the monarch ist country to a change ln tho government The king In t'.ie morning guve an audience to and tot.k formnl leave of the out-going prime minister, Mr. Lloyd George. Then came the Unionist meeting In the afternoon when Mr. Bonar Law waa unanimously electee' leader of the party. This was fol lowed by an audience at Buck ingham palace when Mr. Bonar Law at the king's invitation un dertook to form a new adminis tration. The king will hold a nrlvy council probably Wednesday, If the prim minister has by then completed his" ministry, for the swearing In of the new ministers. The king will on the advice of' the prime minister proclaim the dis solution of parliament Thursday and according to present arrange menta, elections will be held No vember 15, Mt. Bonar Ls,w Is Understood to have hie cabinet list almost com pleted and it is expected it will bo nnnouncd tomorrow, v It Is the almost universal opinion hat he succeeds to a most difficult and onerous tamk. and manv mlmriv(nk e heard n to whether his health win stand the Inevitable strain, bu Re has made It quite clear that If he And, hiahealth unequal to the xna situation Is unlaua l ih annais or uritisn election politics, Inasmuch as with only three weeks uj rne election date, none of the leaders has yet announced his policy: each side appears to be waiting on the othjr. Mr. Lloyd George's opponents are making merry with the suggestion that the sword he announced himself as orandishlng when he left London Saturday, must have been lost somewhere on the way to Leeds. The only real question before the electorate Is whether they wish to be governed by a coalition. But that cannot properly be described as an election plank, because ex cept in the quite unanticipated re sult of a tremendous landslide ln favor of one particular party, it Is almost certain no party will be re- turnea strong enough to form a government without the co-operation of some other party. Mr. Bonar Law confirms that Ireland Is an agreed question, and he further Intimated -clearly and frankly at the Unionist meeting toaay tnat tariff reform or nrotec tion would not form an item of hia policy. And since Mr. Lloyd George has announced himself aa a free trader yils question cannot come to the front, as both the libera and labor parties are ln favor of free trade. The prime minister prom ises to definite his policy, In his coming speech at Glasgow, but Judging from his remarks today. It will not be ot an eventful char acter. Previous to the breakdown 1 of his health, which forces him tem porarily to retire from politics, Mr. Bonar Law was a very close friend of Mr. Lloyd George and was identified with the entire coalition policy: it la therefore practically Impossible thatvhe can In any Important measure reverse this policy. Thus, unless Mr. Lloyd George should take a strong. turn ln his policy, there will be little difference between the policies of tne two men. The contest seems likely to be one of personalities of men rather than measures so far as these two parties are concerned. The free liberals and the laborltes have of course well defined policies and ac cording to present indications are resolutely opposed to any co-operation with Lloyd George, even should the former Premier aeek reconciliation with either of them. The labtirltes will resent the fix ing of tha elections for mid-week and will represent the decision as a deliberate Intention of the Union ist party to handicap the working man voters. The Unionists have two arguments against delaying the elections until the following Saturdqy-Mlrst, that a short time Is allowed for passing Irish legis lation and, eeconcfr that the coun try dislikes general election so near Christmas, because it inter feres with Christmas shopping. If the elections are held on No vember -18, Parliament will be able to reassemble on the 20th, but sev eral days will be consumed- ln swearing In the members, electing the speaker and dehajihg the reply to .the King's speech, which it is expected, will contain only one legislative item, namely, the Irish constitution. .
