THE BRITISH CABINET.
COMPROMISE DENOUNCED.
PRIME MINISTER’S TROUBLES
LONDON, Feb. 11
The Premier, Mr Ramsay Mao. Donald, after spending the week-end at Chequers, will preside at the Cabinet’s final discussion of the policy before the Labour Government makes its debut in Parliament.
He is expected to speak for at least two hours on Tuesday covering a wide range of home and foreign topics. Week-end speeches, including Mr Mac Lean’s at Glasgow, show that Mr MacDonald’s trouble with the Reds of his party has not euded. Mr Maxton, at Glasgow, denounced the compromise in the formation of the Cabinet. He said Lord Chelmsford was a very curi--ous figure. He had never shown any tense sympathy towards the Laboui movement, and had been included ir. it simply because the Sea Lords put down their foot and refused to work under the Labour Government unless the man at the head of the Admiralty was suitable to them. “I 'would have said,” he added, “ ‘tin’s is mutiny, this » is a strike, there is the street,’ and Labour would have been able to carry on a big enough navy.”—A. and N.Z cable.
