No united front exists among the members of the British cabinet on the Palestine question, declared Lady Passfield, wife of Lord Passfield, British Colonial Secretary, in an address before the Fabian Society, the old London Socialist club of which Bernard Shaw, Sidney Webb (now Lord Passfield) and his wife were the founders.
Lady Passfield said that a strong difference of opinion prevails among the members of the cabinet. Reviewing the present political activities of the Labor cabinet she avoided dwelling much on the Palestine question, although she did say it was one of the most troublesome problems facing the government.
