BALDWIN'S QUIET EXIT
MACDONALD IN COUNCIL
SPECULATION AS TO CABINET
Australian Frew Association. (Received sth June, 1 p.m.)
v LONDON, 4th June. Mr. Baldwin was shy to the end. He left No. 10, Downing Street by the back gate, almost unobserved, and returned after lnnch from Windsor and slipped
in by the side door. Both times he was virtually - unseen. Mr. Mac Donald spent the day at his Hampstead home conferring with Messrs. Thomas, Snowden, Henderson and dynes, virtually the Cabinet-' makers' executive. While they were busy a telephone call came from Windsor summoning Mr. Mac Donald to see the King at noon to-morrow. _ It is everywhere assumed that Mr. Mac Donald will be ready with a list of Ministers in his pocket. Speculators assign portfolios to all members of the Parliamentary Labour Party Executive, but it is idle to assume too much till the executive meets to-morrow. In any case, speculative allocations of portfolios are so much at variance as to be useless.
