PRIME MINISTER SHAKES HANDS WITH ALE WITHIN REACH.
PHILADELPHIA CROWD BREAKS POLICE LINES. (Received October 11, 11.30 am.) WASHINGTON, October 10. At Baltimore an ovation from several hundred people greeted Mr Ramsay MacDonald and Miss Ishbel when they came to the observation platform of their car during a five minutes’ stop to-day. A Philadelphia message states that Mr MacDonald arrived before noon and gave a luncheon to the physicians and nurses who tended him at Jefferson Hospital when he was ill there two years ago.
In addition to the reception committee, a delegation of thirty-six. British war veterans formed two lines at the station, through which Mr MacDonald passed. He shook hands with every man. The crowd on the station broke through the police and surrounded Mr MacDonald, who shook hands with all in reach.
After his arrival he said: “I am going away content, and convinced that in the more congenial atmosphere created there will be satisfactory results from the conferences with Mr Hoover.”—Australian Press Association.
