BRITAIN'S CREDIT
"REPREHENSIBLE" DEALINGS PRIME MINISTER'S ATTACK LONDON, Feb. 27 The Prime Minister. Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald, speaking at Doncaster, referred to reprehensible financial transactions by people commanding good credit. ' He said it was unfortunate that such transactions, besmirching Britain's probity and damaging her world credit, occurred when the Government was restoring confidence and the country was recovering. It was selfish recklessness. People said the Government was shielding delinquents. The Government was doing nothing of the kind, but it was not getting into a panic, although it was aware that this kind of thing was not characteristic of a Christian state of society. The Cabinet's crime was that it was determined to do everything to keep the national combination together, consonant with the national well-being. "When I am no longer satisfied that I can pull my full weight," said Mr. MacDonakl, "I shall require nobody to tell me what my duty is."
