ONE NOTEWORTHY SURPRISE IN LIST.
(Received June S, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 7. Mr MacDonald's Cabinet-making has followed the expected lines, with one noteworthy surprise, which was so complete that the political tipsters’ lists during the whole week left the Dominions Office blank. It was known that Mr Thomas wanted something bigger than his old office. Indeed, he aspired to the Foreign Office, but when he yielded to Mr MacDonald’s blandishment that the big job of unemployment wanted a big man with vision and initiative it caused a recasting of the political guessing, with no one in the offing to fill the Dominions Office blank. There was never the breath of a suggestion that Mr Sidney IVebb would be selected.—Australian Press Association —United Service.
