BRITISH CABINET DEFENDED
Preserving Credit Aii3 Probity MR MACDONALD SPEAKS OW^ (united fbiss associatioh—bs elbctbio teijsqraph—copyright.) (Received February 28, 5.5 p.m.), LONDON, February 27. The Prime Minister, Mr Ramsay Mac Donald, speaking at Doncaster, referred to reprehensible financial transactions by persons commanding good credit and added that it was unfortunate that such transactions, besmirching Britain's probity and damaging her world credit, had occurred when the Government was restoring confidence and the country was recovering. It was selfish recklessness. It was said that the Government was shielding the delinquents, he continued. The Government was doing nothing of the kind, but was not being panicky, though it was aware that this kind of thing was not characteristic of a Christian state of society. Cabinet's crime was that it was determined to do everything to keep a national combination together, consonant with the national wellbeing^
He concluded: "When I am no longer satisfied that I can pull my full weight I shall require nobody to tell me what my duty is."
