...House of Commons last week Premier James Ramsay MacDonald climbed into an airplane to hide his idealistic head in the Scottish calm of Lossiemouth. When he had safely gone two of Britain's most important statesmen rose, the first to abandon China to her fate, the second to admit that Britain is preparing...
