POLITICS BOW TO COMMERCE WITH LEADERS British Ex-Ministers Now Are Flourishing In Finance By Stewart Brown. VP Staff Correspondent London, Oct. 17—(U.R>—Like a great magnet London’s Wall street is drawing the best brains from the parliamentary atmosphere of Whiee hall — to the moneyed air of the city. Some of the best men in the conservative party and former cabinet members have deserted the quieter Westminster for the busier city district. A board meeting of the greater London and Counties Trust, a huge electrical concern largely controlled by American capital, looks more like a session of the former cabinet than a business gathering of a highly successful and al powerful company. Around the table can be seen the thin-faced, monocled Sir Austen Chamberlain; the red-faced, baldpaied Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, and the stern, cigar-smoking Lord Birkenhead. This trio, deposed from Whitehall in the last election, is now more interested in voltage than votes. Lord Birkenhead, Chairman Lord Birkenhead, former secretary for India, is chairman of the trust. He recently called to his assistance Sir Austen Chamberlain, former secretary for foreign affairs, and Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, former minister of war. All three are now getting salaries three and four times as large as those they drew from the government. The inducements for Sir Austen and Sir Laming were in the neighborhood of $50,000 yearly, while it is understood Lord Birkenhead draws around $75,000. The trust is owned by the American Utilities Power and Light Corporation and supplies electricity to three large areas adjoining London and extending in all four directions. The trust has subsidiaries serving some 95 English cities and villages. Lord Birkenhead said, when accepting the chairmanship of the trust, that it would not be tied down to any American manufacuring organization and that its purchase would result in ELECTRIC SERVICE We repair all kinds of electric sweepers, irons, toasters, lamps, motors, etc. All work guaranteed.

the employment of British materials and labor. Other Statesmen in Finance In addition to this trio there are other former statesmen who have quit Whitehall, willingly and unwillingly, to become "city workers" as London I terms her financial giants. Among former ministers in the city ' are Stephen McKenna, Sr. Robert Horne and Sir Cunliffe-Lister, laird Peel, not to mention Sir .Josiah Stamp r and others. Although Sir Laming states his new job does not ellminate,him from politics. it has been noted in the past that when statesmen go to the city at excellent salaries they seldom return. The old English theory "once 1 a British statesman always a British statesman" has been exploded under ’ the barrage of the city's money, 1 As a result of this exodus fear is expressed in some quarters that the ’ death of the Conservative party is • sounding, unless new blood, unattracted by the city's gold, is drafted ' into the party.
