JEW YORK 5 J i RE A T BRIT-aln- 8 economic and financial crisis has resulted In the formation of a national or coalition mlnlsr try which Is expected to hold oflice for only a few months and In that time to work out the grave problem of balancing the budget. Prime Minister Donald found Keif caught between the two fires of the demand by the Conservatives and Liberals for reduction of the dole and the absolute refusal of the trades union congress to . accept that expedient for the financial relief of the country. Eight members of his cabinet of Luborites resigned, so Mr. MacDonald gave up the struggle and hurried to Buckingham where he handed to King George the resignation of the entire minis-try- . The king, who bad rushed back from Scotland, called Stanley Baldwin, .the Conservative lender, and Sir Herbert Samuel, acting leader of the Liberals, Into conference and It was decided that a national government Bhould be formed. At the suggestion of Mr. Baldwin, Mr. MacDonald was persuaded to resume his place as prime minister, and a cabinet, small as in war time, was selected, these being the members: Laborltes Mr. MacDonald, Philip Snowden, J. II. Thomnsl, and Lord . Eankey. Conservatives Stanley Baldwin, Neville Chamberlain,. Sir Samuel Hoare, former chancellor of the. exchequer, and Sir Philip Cunllffe-LIster- . Liberals Sir Herbert Samuel and the marquis of Reading. Eight other ministers without cabinet rank were appointed. In a radio address Mr. MacDonald defended the proposed reduction of the dole. Mr. MacDonald Is denounced In ome Labor circles as a traitor, and elsewhere Is being hailed as almost a hero. lie seemingly has sacrificed Ills personal ambition and perhaps his political future to help his country out of Its financial distress. The London Dnily Herald, chief organ' of the Labor party, charges that the fall of the Labor government was dictated by the United States Federal A condition Reserve bank. to the granting of further credits, It snys, was a drastic reduction in the dole. This was flatly denied by Snowden and others. High officials In Washington said they had not heard that an additional loan had been asked of the federal reserve system by the Rrltlsh government It was their belief that the coalition ministry would be able to rescue, the nation from its difficulties.

SEVERAL congressmen, speaking American shipping interests, are protesting against the deal made between the federal farm board, and the government of Brazil, because the 25,000.000 bushels of wheat which will he traded for coffee will be transported to Brazil In Brazilian vessels. Chairman Stone of the farm board said nothing could be done about it, negotiations had been closed. Representative Frank L. Bowman of West Virginia declared the. action of the board In allowing Brazil to arl range the transportation was a economic blunder. and In viola-- , tlon of the spirit of the merchant marine act.

And the 52 members of the advisory committee named by President Hoover, representing all sections of the land, are rendering such Service as they can. Then, too, there aie many capable volunteers, and also hired experts to handle technical matters in connection with the great campaign for funds thnt Is planned. Mr. Gilford spent the week end with Mr. Hoover at the Itapldan camp nd they discussed the problem thoroughly In all Its phases. The President received telegrams from Governors Emmerson of Illinois, Rolph of California. Tudor of Maine and of New Hampshire and from other individuals assuring of their with the relief group. Governor Roosevelt of New York sent a message concerning unemployment to the state legislature which met In special session primarily to handle other matters, Plans worked out by the President and Mr. Gilford call for complete organization of the entire country for the relief task the nation must face this winter. All relief agencies are to be welded Into one system so there will be no duplication of efTort and no section of tlie country will be neglected. Under tbe direction of the Wash Ington organizations communities which have not yet begun to prepare for the winter re expected to make new efforts to obtain funds with which to supply local needs. The President and Mr. Gilford were In agreement that the relief load must be curried by combined state and community effort While the federal gov- building the Southwest to campaign force the price of crude oil up to $1 a barrel would be successful, but the fields of Oklahoma and east Texas were still kept closed tight by the militia and those of Kansas were shut by order of the state public service commission. Several big oil companies made overtures to Governors Murray and Sterling, but both said the lid would stay clamped down until alt the major purchasers met the price of $1 a barrel. Meanwhile the prices paid for oil moved steadily upward in the states named, and also In Montana. Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana and Arkansas. California refiners profited by the shortage caused by the shut down, shipping gasoline In large quantities to the east coast.

Somewhat the same plan was advocated by Senator Robert J.

Outlining a plan for resubmission of the Eighteenth amendment to the states, Bulk-le- y said fie hoped such a plan would be placed before constitutional conventions rather than state legisla-- . tures.
