He moved the adjournment of parliament until I"eb. 12, which date he said had been chosen to meet Mr. MacDonald’s con- venienee, Mr, Baldwin said the members of his cabinet would retain their sears until the new cabinet members were appointed. Self Educated Man James Ramsay MacDonald is se- lected by King George to form a cabinet by virture of his position as head of the parliamentary labor party, which by its numerical strength in the house of commons has been his majesty's official opposition, The premier-designate is 57 years old and self-educated. Although thes leader of the laborites he has never been a manuval worker, having acheived his position by virtue of his academic knowledge of industrial af- fairs, gained through close study. As the son of a Scotch peasant, how- ever, he early In life learned the pri- vations of the average laborer's lot. MacDonald seldom laughs, and the set of his jaw bears out his charac- terization as “The Grad-Headed Fighter,” He had an active part In the or- ganization of the independent labor party in 1893, when but 27 years of age, and has since devoted himself to the labor party's interests, From the beginning he championed the capital levy as the best means of solv- ing England's industrial problems, Strong for Peace He has also been staunchly in favor of international peace and publiely opposed England’s entry into the world war, When the nation was once in the fight, however, he made the best of the situation and served as an ambulance driver in France, He also supported the government as a member of parliament in all the big war questions.
