“NOT RUBBER STAMPS.”
DOMINION GOVERNORS.
SHAW’S NEW PLAY
(Sun Special.) LONDON, Monday
“The situation depicted in my play ‘The Apple Cart,’ is characteristic not merely of Britain,” declared Mr Bernard Shaw when interviewed by a Polish Telegraphic Agency. “After the first performance, Mr Ramsay MacDonald told me that Dominion Governors themselves were faced with the problem with which I had dealt.”
Mr MacDonald presumably referred to the analogy between King Magnus and Dominion Governors, who refuse to make themselves rubber stamps.
King Magnus does not surrender to his Cabinet. Mr Shaw clearly indicates his preference for the superior authority acting on his own judgment and contrary to Cabinet’s wishes and does not disguise his belief that unrestrained responsible Government has failed.
