The careers of Prime Ministers' sons seem to be well

worth watching. Apart from Malcolm MacDonald, there is Sir Cyril Asquith, who has gained distinction in law rather than politics ; Major Gwilym Lloyd George ; Mr. Richard Law ; Lord Corvedale (Lord Baldwin's heir), who is back in the House of Commons, but has yet to make his mark there ; and Major Randolph Churchill, who, though out of the House now, is certain to return. And an older generation must not be forgotten, represented by Lord Cecil and by Lord Rosebery, who held brief office in Mr. Churchill's Caretaker Government. Is there anyone there who may make a Prime Minister of the second generation on the pattern of the two Pitts? On the whole, I doubt it.
