Abstract

The New British Cabinet
Laski, Harold J. | July 17, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

On June 7, 1935, British Prime Minister Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's political career effectively came to a close. Mr. Stanley Baldwin was sworn in as Prime Minister and Mr. MacDonald became Lord President of the Council, a titular office to which no functions attach. As a general election cannot now be long postponed, and as Mr. MacDonald is pretty certain to be beaten, it is a reasonable political speculation that he will no longer play any important part in the nation's affairs. At the same time new Cabinet is not very different from the old.
