CABINET TO MEET

(British Official Wireless.)

(Received 27th August, 11.15 a.m.)

RUGBY, 26th August. The Prime Minister having flown from Lossiemouth this morning, he arrived on the platform at Waterloo Station just as the boat train from Southampton with four members of the British delegation to the Ottawa Conference drew alongside. Sir John Simon, who in another aeroplane had also flown to London from Lossiemouth, joined the Prime Minister's party, which included several members of Cabinet. His Majesty tho King was represented by Lord Hampden, and when the delegates, headed by Mr. Stanley Baldwin, alighted there was a hearty exchange of greetings.

The cheers which were raised for the homecoming statesmen at the conclusion of their successful mission were warmly taken up by tho large crowd assembled to witness the scene, and these were renewed as the party drove off. During tho afternoon the Prime Minister met in turn each of the delegates, and to-morrow a meeting of Cabinet will be held for a more formal consideration of the work of what is likely to prove an historic Conference. MR. BALDWIN TO BROADCAST. Although the delegates were immediately approached by Press representatives for interviews, both at Southampton and at Waterloo, they contented themselves with general statements, and the first considered review of the Ottawa Conference will be mado to-mor-row night in a broadcast speech by Mr. Baldwin.
