Although the appointment of Caldecote [1] in my view distinctly
unhappy he will be as effective as Eden. He does not possess the
personality or drive necessary to put over Dominion views with the
War Cabinet and has not a receptive or constructive mind. The
appointment of a discarded Lord Chancellor is not complimentary to
the Dominions.

Malcolm MacDonald [2] would have been much preferable.

For your very personal information, I would have welcomed the
appointment of Lloyd George [3] as with his personality and force
it would have been possible to get something done.
