P AMS AY MacDONALD is a name that historians will write la. boldly across the stories of Lausanne, of American-Euro-pean relations, of Ireland and of Ottawa, and round which common folk in humble cottages will weave the silken threads of legend. For all over the world people are speculating on the manner of man who, as representative of the British Empire, is guiding the nations into a new era, and lifting international diplomacy on to a loftier plane. Ihe remote, proud, shy Highlander, this lonely spirit, harassed through his private life by sickness and sorrow, reaching the height of his career by an act of self-sacrifice that threatened political extinction, and at the most critical moment in his success menaced by blindness, has lifted every cause that he has touched. Labour did not push him to the front; he drew Labour after him. Though a mystical rather than a dogmatic Socialist, by the force of his practical mind he gained the co-operation even of his political opponents, and when the power of Britain was beginning to be doubted by foreigners he has restored to her the traditional position of leadership. Indeed, it is safe to prophesy that before the Buckingham woods he loves are yellow in England his signature will be placed upon the most momentous Imperial and International agreements the world has yet seen.
