Written at Board of Trade, Whitehall Gardens, S.W. Is overwhelmed with congratulations, even from the Tory papers. Goes to the Treasury the following day and is to become Chancellor on Thursday. 'Judging from my telegrams Wales has just gone mad over my appointment'. The Privy Council is to meet at 5 p.m. on Thursday, and so cannot come down until Saturday. Would like to go fishing on Easter Monday.
