MR. CHAMBERLAIN-ACTING PRIME MINISTER
A rather unusual position exists at present in regard to the execu- tive control of national affairs. The Prime Minister's second de- puty, Mr. Chamberlain, is now in charge while he is on holiday in Scotland. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is in Canada, and, incidentally, without any intention of visiting Chicago: Mr. Baldwin went off to Aix-les-Bains to-day, and the mantle of responsibility has fallen on the Chancellor of the Exche- quer. In few other countries could

RAILWAY WAGES DISCUSSIONS A consensus of opinion among rallway union organisers assembled here to-day to prosecute the case for a restoration of the wage cuts made in 1931 suggests that the companies are not unsympathetic to their approach. Union leaders.
whom I spoke to
are fairly optimistic about the outcome of the joint discussions to-morrow, believing that the companies may make a gesture that will afford some alleviation, either immediate ly or in the near future, "of the percentage wage reductions. This can only be done, of course, if the revenue shows considerable im- provement. It remains to be seen how far this course, if adopted, will meet the demands of the N.U.R. executive, who are pledged to work for the cancellation of the. cuts.
