JOURNALISTS AND POLITICS.

MR. MACDONALD'S APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY,

**ONCE A SCRIBE" ——

Mr. MacDonald was the guest of the Press. Club, London, at the first of a series of luncheons on the three party lenders.

Mr. G. F. Allison, chairman of the ekib, who presided, requlled the fact that Mr. MacDonald was once a journalist. Indeed, it was difficult to find to-day celebrated men who were not journalists. Even Mr. Baldwin had threatened to become a journalist when every" thing else failed. Mr. MacDonald and his friends were probably hop ing that Mr. Baldwin would shortly join them in Fleet Street. (Laugh- Mr. MacDonald said he was still n journalist, and that really what had happened in the last few years was that he had been seconded from journalism in order to look after politics. He could quite understand why it was that so many of them during the next few weeks would do their best to keep Mr. Baldwin in Downing Street and out of Fleet Street. (Laugh ter.)
