The notable reception acconded Mr Ramsay MacDonald, Britain’s Prime Minister, km his-return to London from Lausanne on the success fill > completion of his important miss'on in connection with the, reparations settlement, was well .deaervedy and jt was fitting that a suitable recognition should be given of the success attending his efforts, s Mr MacDonald’s achievement is not an* isolated one. It crowns a career in , foreign politics worthy of the very highest traditions of British politicians. The generous recognition of his services by /all elections of the. British press and public is an interesting commeutr"*y on the various viewpoints of opinion as to the power and ability of a Labour leader to carry on the work of the foreign office. Since his accession to office the work in connection with foreign affairs carried out by Mr MacDonald has been of a high quality, and''the many phases of thfe ' international situation have received his 'vllry ;v ca'refiil consideration. The resifltft: have'.proved thecapabilities of the ;-nfefc^nt*'occupant of the high office of Fof&igp Minister, and in all the various situation- arising out of the many chaniges evolv >d by thie establ shment of the Leiagun of Nations, and the following err duct of fore’an afiai’s, he had shown a grasp of the conditions that’ has wen him support from all shades of political opinion. The latest success has therefore come as a

climax 'to many other, and the happy reception given on his : ij£, turn to London forms a fitting aclmdi^- 1 lodgment of valuable services rendered.
