PORTFOLIOS ON SATURDAY

Thomas will be given the post of Lord Privy Seal, so that he will be able to concentrate on the "Ministry of Unemployment," for which he has several schemes of his own devising, notably railway betterment. There is no definite hint yet as to who will go to the Dominions Office, but Mr. Henderson seems marked out for the Foreign Secretaryship. There are indications that the King's progress will permit of His Majesty going to Sandringham on June 19. i
