"Qld Guard" Seen Going as Result of Secret Meeting Of British Cabinet London, June 6.
Radical changes in the British Cabinet are foreshadowed by the Secret meeting today of the House of Commons, Parliamentary circles declare.
It is generally believed that the members of the "Old Guard" will disappear from the Government, Among those who will probably go are Mr. Neville Cnamberlain, former Premier and now Lord President of me Council, Sir John Simon, Lord Chancellor; Sir John Anderson, Secretary for Home Affairs and National Defence; and Sir Kingsley Wood, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Impor t changes will also, i all probability, be effected in the Civil Service.
Now, at the most critical period in British history, it is imperative that all those who in one way or another were responsible for the unpreparedness of the nation ai the beginning of the war must go, the same circles added.
At present the nation is displaying an intense will for action, and the previous cabinet changes have already made themselves felt in military, economical and moral spheres.
Political circles describe this change as "a revolutionary action" which may be completed within the next eight days by eliminating the "survivors" of the former administration.
This new spirit has been steadily gaining ground among Parliamentanans, notably among those serving in the British armed forces, and the majority of the supporters of the former government are now of this opinion.—Havas,
