CABINET “AGREES TO DIFFER”
PASSING OF GRAVE CRISIS STATEMENT BY LEADING MINISTERS. British Official Wireless RUGBY, January 25. In a statement regarding the Cabinet’s decision, whereby four of its members “agree to differ” on the question of import duties, Sir Herbert Samuel (Leader of the Liberals and Home Secretary) emphasised the general agreement existing on disarmament, repatriations, war debts, currency, India, and National economy, and his own conviction as to the rightness of the course dissentient Ministers adopted. Mr Macdonald says the decision to allow dissentient members of the Cabinet, to express views on the tariff is an innovation, like the Cabinet itself. “It will require deliberate handling, but 1 am assured the co-operation of members of the Ministry will ensure success. It Is prompted not by constitutional theorising, but by a desire to find a commonsense exit from a difficulty foreseen from the beginning.”
