Eight months ago, Ramsay MacDonald with a woefully weak government behind him became Prime Minister of Great Britain. Concentrating at once on his foreign policy a series of successful foreign conferences (the Young Plan, The Hague, the visit to Washington) improved British prestige abroad, immeasurably increased his own position at home...
