Political Reaction. Onetime Premier Ramsay Macdonald, Leader of the Labor Party, accused Premier Stanley Baldwin and his ministers in the House last week of "retiring with the beautiful airs of a parcel of Vestal Virgins" during the strike, and letting the country go to smash. Choleric, Mr. Macdonald moved a motion of censure which was defeated 339 to 131. Nettled, he shouted: "We want to test by the ballot box whether the nation would like to carry our motion. Parliament should be dissolved...
...happen while Mr. Baldwin takes his own good time. Labor considers that he betrayed the strikers and is against him tooth and nail as never before; but he has "muddled through" with the good will if not the admiration of the non-laboring class.

...Lieutenant Commander the Honorable Joseph Montague Kenworthy (heir to the ninth Baron Strabolgi), long a famed bulwark of Georgian Liberalism, grew so vexed at last with Mr. Lloyd George that he bolted without warning into the Laborite ranks of onetime (Jan.-Nov. 1924) Premier Ramsay Macdonald...
Coal Counsel. With these keynotes sounded, the conference listened-not without interruptions from extremists-to the reigning "old guard" of the party: 1) One-time Premier Macdonald: "We have consulted as to the best means of helping the miners with the heads of other unions, and I am perfectly appalled at the widespread unemployment of union men. . . . The solution of the problem now lies in political rather than industrial action. Had my Government [Jan.-Nov., 1924] remained in office another year we would have introduced a bill for nationalization of the mines. We must work toward that end. . . ."; 2) James...
