Washington Curiously Awaits Ramsay MacDonald Third Visit
Washington observes the approaching visit of James Ramsay MacDonald the British prime minister. He has appeared in America twice before in very different political roles. His 1897 honeymoon began a rise from humble roots to leadership of the Independent Labour Party, while his 1929 trip as premier produced a peace-focused, ceremonial Washington visit. Now aged and frail with eye trouble he travels west as head of a National government seen by many as Tory-aligned window-dressing.
