BRITISH MINISTRY
RESIGNATION OF LIBERAL MINISTERS LORD SNOWDEN'S INTENTIONS Pr»»s Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 22. The ‘Daily Herald’ states that Lord Snowden has decided to resign from tin Cabinet. This has really forced the hands of Sir Herbert Samuel and his colleagues against their own inclinations, and led to their decision to follow Lord Snowden’s example. The resignations will be sent to His Majesty after the Cabinet meets next week. Mr MacDonald used all his influence to persuade Sir Herbert Samuel and his colleagues to remain in the Cabinet, but when he found that Lord Snowden was obdurate he accepted the position. He is already considering a reshuffle of the Ministry, and ho will use his utmost endeavours to fill the vacancies with other Liberals and National Labourites in order to retain the national character of the Government. Lord Hailsham, on his arrival from Canada, said it would be regrettable if the Liberals resigned while there was still so much valuable work for the National Government to do. Every political party was represented at Ottawa, the decisions at which could be supported by every patriotic citizen. He and Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister had found universal enthusiasm for the agreements throughout Canada.
