Abstract

The British Cabinet - a House Divided
Laski, Harold J. | May 6, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

Since Hoare-Laval incident of last December it has been obvious enough that unity in British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's Cabinet is maintained with considerable difficulty. Its basis is the place of the League of Nations in the making of foreign policy. The peace ballot of last June swept the Cabinet into moral commitments far beyond anything in which its members really believed. To make the policy successful, it was essential that Italian ambitions should be rendered abortive. Otherwise, all the suspicions of collective security which all but a handful of the Tory members share would be bound to come into operation.
