...hisses, boos and jeers received by Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald from his coal-miner constituents at Seaham (TIME, Jan. 28) were really too ominous, decided the Marquess of Londonderry last week. As all London knows, it is Lord and Lady Londonderry who have made life worth living for Scot MacDonald since he broke with his lifetime Labor friends to found the "National Government."

From the pen of snowy-haired Ramsay MacDonald, champion shaker-of-hands-across-the-sea, and Prime Minister of Great Britain, has issued a statement in which diplomacy blends with astute perception. The shrewd Scot, who by a graceful and masterly manipulation of Anglo-Saxon heartstrings, by an incomparably dexterous muddling of issues, reached the pinnacle position of British statecraft, displays in his written comment the same piercing analysis and tempered sagacity which gained him his high post...
