...Coronation next May 12, and the House was slated last week for such work as raising Cabinet salaries a trifle, including that of the Prime Minister. This matter intensely English Punch presented in a drawing of the Good Fairy Britannia magically raising the emolument of the independently wealthy Stanley Baldwin (see cut).
