SEPTIC PNEUMONIA CAUSE OF DEATH He Resigned Premiership of Great Britain Five Months Ago Due to the State of His Health. London, Oct. 30 (By the Associated Press). —Andrew Bonnr Law former Premier of Great Britain, died early to day. Tlie end came at 3:00 o'clock. The official bulletin issued by physi cians who attended the former Premier, said death came following an acute at tack of septic pneumonia. The death of Mr. Bonar Law will be a shock to Great Britain, for while it was known that his condition was very serious, it was not expected that the end was so near. Five mouths ago—on May 20th—he resigned the Premiership because of a malady which for a long time troubled him. Ev en then he was reluctant to admit that Ii his career was finished, and retained his seat in the House of Commons where lie since lias made two or three appearances. Sketch of His Life. I Andrew Bonar Law. one of the most j powerful figures in political Europe pre ceding. during and immediately following I the World War, became Prime Minister lof England October 23. 1022. upon the resignation of David Lloyd George—last of tlie famous war premiers and of the "Big Four" at Versailles to step down from office. Bonar Law had distinguished himself live years before as the man who refused a king's offer to make him Prime Minis ter. As leader of the Conservatives, the largest single party in the House of ('ommons. lie was summoned by King I George to form a cabinet late in 11)16, after Lloyd George, then Minister of Mu nitions, iiad forced an issue with Premier Asquith anil brought about the latter's resignation. Tlie political colleagues of Asquith, however, declined to promise adhesion. -nfiil beiftffiftt? that a cbritifiiin govefiiiiicnf was essential for file suc cessful prosecution of the war, Bonar Law refused the honor. Lloyd George and his famous war cabinet was the re sult. Often called the "Roosevelt of Eng land" because of his tremendous follow ing from all parties and all walks of life, Bonar Law became Chancellor of the Exchequer under the new premier and fought side by side with the "Little Welsh Giant" until the spring of 15)21. when he was forced to retire because of ill health. Although always ' a champion of the man he lmd virtually made premier, Bon ar Law remained with his party when the Conservatives, in 15)22. met and de cided to withhold support from the Coal ition government, which, it was felt, had outlived the emergency for which it was created. Despite his failing health, he was considered the logical successor to Lloyd George, and when behind which to coach a refusal. He managed to conduct the affairs of his strenuous office for seven months be fore it became publicly known that his health again had broken down. Late in May, 15)23, it was announced that the Premier was suffering from a serious throat affection, aud that his retirement was imminent. A few days later his for mal resignation was filed with the king and Stanley Baldwin. Chancellor of the Exchequer, was named to succeed him. In contrast to the epochal period dur ing tlie war, the Armistice and the era of reconstruction subsequent to the end ing of hostilities, the government of Bon ar Law was eclipsed in importance, al though it dealt with several problems of great domestic and international magni tude. Among these was the Irish ques tion. tlie French invasion of the Ruhr Valley, which placed England in an ex tremely delicate position; the funding of the American debt, and the difficulties with Soviet Russia over the treatment of British subjects in the Near East. A statesman with few political enemies, the ofireer of Bonar Law was singular. He was 42 years of age before he entered politics. A successful Glasgow iron mer chant who had been born and educated in Canada, his rise to eminence in the British parliament begau with his elec tion in 15)00 as a I lliouist from the Blackfriars Division of Glasgow. Strong for tariff reform, lie soon became not'd for his clear reasoniug on that subject, and as a result was made parliamentary Secretary of tlie Board of Trade. Later lie successively became leader of theli T*n ionist. or Opposition party in the, House of Commons, Secretary of State for the Colonies, Cltanoellor of tlie Exchequer, Lord of I lie Privy Seal, and finally Pre mier. Primarily a business man, he employed (Continued on Page Five). Please Note!
