Ramsay MacDonald’s Leadership RESIGNATION WOULD • NOT SURPRISE Cabinet Reconstruction as Sequel 1935 ELECTION UNLIKELY By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received February 12, 5.20 p.m.) London, February 11. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald’s leadership is hourly becoming in greater jeopardy and it will not be surprising if his resignation is shortly announced, accompanied by the reconstruction of the Government. An election before 1936 is most unlikely. It is thought that Mr. MacDonald’s resignation will save the Government and reunite the majority of Conservatives, although not the Churchillites. Mr. Lloyd George’s inclusion is unlikely, according to the latest reports, because it would irrevocably split the Conservatives. There is a strong possibility of Mr. Malcolm MacDonald’s promotion to the Cabinet, whereby National Labour’s balance in the Ministry would be retained. ■ “The Times,” in a leader, says: Mr. Baldwin is clearly not rattled by the clamour for radical change in the Government’s personnel and policy. He is unlikely to yield to sudden impulse, although there is no reason to think he is not profoundly convinced of the necessity for Cabinet reconstruction sooner or later, certainly long before the Government appeals to the country.
