There has been no offi.cial, disclosure, but it is generally accepted' that an impasse was reached on Thursday, when Cabinet discussed "vvhether the tariff should be temporai'y or permanent. Viscount Snowden, Sir D. Maclean, Sir H. Samuel, and Sir A. Sinclair all required that it should be temporary, and when Cabinet rose their resignations seemed inevitahle. Cabinet met again on Friday morning in an atmospjbere. of extreme tension,- but Mr. Ramsay MacDonald pi'oduced the required formula and averted a crisis.
