- Mr. Austen Chamberlain, in a letter to his constituents

which was published in the papers of Monday,: said that they.had so of-ten expressed the hope that he would .rejoin the Unionist Government that he owed them some explanation. of why he had -riot done so.. He was at Vernet when Mr.Bbnar. Law resigned and he was wholly- unprepared for that resignation. At the request of friends he went to Paris in order to be immediately available if any consultation with him was desired. . Ha had been led to think that Mr. Baldwin " desired to heal differences " in the Unionist Party and he was ready to help in any way to that end. He, however, had not been asked either to join the Government or to use his influence with his friends.
