...Colonel Amery is to combine both offices, but will have a separate Under Secretary for the Dominions as well as a separate Under Secretary for the Colonies. For reasons of convenience and economy, the new secretariat of the Dominions will be housed in the Colonial Office.

In this respect, the new Cabinet office is a step in the evolution of a Commonwealth constitution...

It was also pointed out that the mere fact that Reichsbank President Hjalmar Schacht and a number of other prominent bankers had met to lend Stinnes...
