REVIEW OF POSITION.

Mr MacDonald Will Return

to London. HOLIDAY INTERRUPTED. <R eceived August 11, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, August 10 Mr MacDonald is returning to London from Lossiemouth by train tonight. It is understood that he wishes to gain closer touch with the current state of business. It is his intention to see as many Ministers as are in London to-morrow. The whole general situation, both political and financial, is expected to engage the attention of Mr MacDonald j and his colleagues for the next day or two. The Chancellor of the Excheq er, Mr Phillip Snowden, will probably return to London from his home at Tilford, Surrey. It was previously arranged that Mr MacDonald should come south for a meeting on August 24 of the Cabinet Sub-committee which is to consider the report of the Economy Committee. It is not yet possible to say if these arrangements will be modified or if the Sub-committee will meet earlier, but the Economy Report is bound to be one of the leading subjects under discussion between the Ministers. It is believed that the Prime Minister hopes to transact immediate business in hand within a day or two and to return to Lossiemouth to resume his holidays. “The Inter nation! cable news appearing in this issue is published by arraneement with the Australian Press Association and the ‘Sun -'Herald' News Service Limited "By special arrangement, Reuters world service in addition to other special sources of information is used in the compilation of the overseas intelligence pul I shed in this issue and all ri-hts tncrein in Australia and New Zealand are reserved."
