Moyne for Lloyd

Death came last week to the Colonial Secretary and Conservative Leader in the House of Lords, Baron Lloyd. Following a chill, he lay ill three weeks under the care of the King's physician, Lord Horder. Not until he died was it revealed that the 61-year-old Baron had flown repeatedly over Germany as a bomber navigator. A friend guessed that Lord Lloyd's death might have been hastened by an old infection from which Lloyd suffered during World War I while serving with Lawrence in Arabia. Prime Minister Winston Churchill named Brewery Scion Walter Edward Guinness, first Baron Moyne, to succeed Lloyd both as Colonial Secretary and as Leader in the Lords.

Ernest ("The Man With the Loudest Voice in the House of Commons") Brown, an uninspired Liberal wheel horse, was made Minister of Health last week, succeeding National Laborite Malcolm Mac-Donald, bespectacled son of the late Prime Minister "Ramsay Mac." This shift was tantamount to congratulating Son Mac-Donald for bettering air-raid shelter conditions, his biggest job as Minister of Health. Winston Churchill packed him off to Canada to serve in the important job of British High Commissioner.
