Points of View

At his birthplace, Lossiemouth, Scotland, Premier MacDonald said: "I hope that before long we shall have an established peace in Europe. We have had a tremendous time about it, but I think that now we are just about pulling it off. I hope next week to meet the French Premier and the result, I trust, will be complete friendship between Britain and France."

In Wales, ex-Premier George remarked: "Never have I witnessed greater political confusion and perplexity. We have Conservative Ministers talking Socialism and a Socialist Premier playing the role of a timid Conservative--and the Liberal Party standing at the door of its shop while both the others take off its stores."
