RAMSAY MACDONALD, PREMIER.
CHURCHILL’S FEAR. By Telegraph—Prt«s Association —Copyright Australiaand N.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 5, 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 4. Mr Winston Churchill, speaking at the Aldwych Club on his first public appearance .since his defeat at the general election, said that it seemed to him that the Government had not yet developed those qualities of initiative which it no doubt possessed, but taking a general view of the political scene, it appeared to him that members of the Government and others were playing a part in a concerted scheme—almost a conspiracy—to make Mr Ramsay Macdonald Prime Minister and bring the Socialist Party into power. “ Feuds are at a maximum and causes at a minimum,” ho said. “ There is Mr Asquith. Although his party is reduced to a minimum, he considers it disgraceful for any Liberal to co-operate with any Conservative. Such a one must be cut off from the company of the elect and banished from the tabernacles of the faithful. Yet Mr Asquith and his friends would eagerly co-operate with the Socialists if only the Socialists were willing.”
