TRAVELLING STATESMEN
PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT TO EUROPE. It is rather startling to realise that the Prime Minister’s visit to Italy was his fifth journey to the Continent in about four months, writes “Scrutator” in the “Sunday Times.” My memory is none too certain on the point, but I cannot recall Lord Baldwin ever going anywhere abroad during his Premiership except for his annual holiday to Aix-les-Bains. It is true that he went to the Ottawa Conference, but Mr MacDonald was the head of the Government at that time. Mr MacDonald held a record as a peregrinating Prime Minister which is not likely to be eclipsed. In fact, so frequent did his foreign excursions become, that once, when he was returning to this country, a lively, if somewhat irreverent morning newspaper published the information under the heading: “MacDonald to Visit England."
