CABINET CRISIS POSSIBLE.

MR. MACDONALD HURRIES TO LONDON.

London, April 29, - Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is cancelling some of his Welsh engagements in order to preside over the Budget Cabinet to-morrow morning, differences having apparently arisen on the subject of the McKenna duties.

There are strong Liberal and Labour demands for their entire abolition, but now it is thought they may only be reduced.

A crisis on the matter is predicted in some quarters.
