KING AND LABOUR
A GRACIOUS TRIBUTE. THE TIE THAT BLNDS THE EMPIRE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association). LONDON, November 8. (Received November 10, 11.5 pjn.). Mr C. G. Ammon, MP. (late Secretary to the Admiralty), writing in the Sunday Express on the relationship between the Crown and the Labour Government, says: “It would be no exaggeration to say that the relations between His Majesty the King and Mr Ramsay MacDonald were cordial. Mr J. H. Thomas, who usually has a good story to tell, was not an unwelcome visitor. Mr Arthur Henderson, whose duties took him more to Court than other of the ministers, was certainly persona grata. Mr Harry Gosling was quite popular. No one in touch with King George could fail to be agreeably surprised at his wide general knowledge. It is a matter almost for surprise to realise how smoothly everything worked during the nine months. There is not a member of the late Government who does not leave with added respect for King George or greater appreciation of his value as Chief Executive Officer of the State.”
