"We have made up our minds, quietly and calmly and coolly. We have the clearest minds as to what should be done," declared Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, Former Prime Minister, leaving No. 10 Downing Street, He is going to Lossiemouth by air-to-morrow.

Other ministers declined to make any comment, but an official statement is expected later. Several members of the Cabinet are resuming their holidays immediately, including the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, who returns to Aix-les-Bains to-night.
