IN AND OUT OF PARLIAMENT
By

JR. DALTON'S return to the Cabinet has met
MR.
with a distinctly cool reception from a con- siderable section of the British Press. Within the Labour movement, however, his return is warmly welcomed.
Party sympathy with him over the odd lapse of last November was always strong, and belief in his administrative capacity hns never wavered.
That this parliamentary view is shared by the larger movement outside was made manifest at the Scarborough conference, where Hugh was received with marked enthusiasm.

NATURALLY, opponents take the opportunity of suggesting that the Prime Minister has brought him back into the fold because he was too dangerous a man to leave outside.
This somewhat malicious theory, quite in accordance with party warfare, is not perhaps to be ruled out as completely unfounded.
After all, the precept that Satan Ands mischief for idle hands might apply to idle ex-Ministers.
But a simpler and more pleasant explanation is that Mr Attlee was in need of another administrator of first-class quality, and could find no one with anything like such good qualifications as his one- time Chancellor of the Exche- quer.
