Appointment of Lord Lloyd as Colonial Secretary in the Churchill Cabinet was announced here tonight. Lord Lloyd, who is 61, succeeds Malcolm MacDonald in the post. He was Governor of Bombay from 1919 to 1923 and High Commissioner of Egypt from 1925 to 1929, having succeeded Lord Allenby in the latter post. (In October, 1938, Lord Lloyd proposed in the Sunday Chronicle that a permanent Arab majority be guaranteed in Palestine. He visited Palestine in 1937 and during his stay interviewed David Ben-Gurion, chairman of the Jerusalem Executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, and other leaders.)
