Londor, Yesterday, Mr Baldwin, the Prime Minister, at Drury Lane Theatre, which was crowded with representa- tives of constituencies from all over the country, launched the Conserva- tive General Election programine.
Mr. Baldwin emphasized his in- tention to continue the process of conquering unemployment without resorting to
palliative schemes necessitating large borrowing.
Britala's Competitive Power He claimed that Britain was re- covering her competitive power, and trade was definitely improving. but needed settled and stable cons ditions. He declared that the Safe guarding and De-rating policies were most valuable adjuncis in in creasing employment.
The Government would co-operate modernising the whole of the ruled railway arrangements. He out agricultural protection, but stated that the defence forces would give a certain measure of prefer- ence to home-produced meat and flour.

IN ITS WAY
MR. SOKOLSKY DISLIKED
Nanking, Yesterday. The Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang to-day discussed the attitude of the "North China' Daily News" a British daily pub lished in Shanghai, and the Com- mittee decided that the "Daily News had been anti-Kuomintang and had deliberately attacked the Central Government despite re- peated protests by the Foreign Ministry.
Therefore the Committee decid- ed that strong representations should be made to the American Minister asking him to call on the American journalist, Mr. George Sokolsky, a contributor on Chin-1 ese affairs to the "Daily News," to leave China.
In the meantime the Post Office will be instructed to refuse faci- lities to the "Daily News," and the Customs will be ordered to prevent its circulation through balk shipments from Shanghai by steamer. Reuter.

Helping The Colonies Further details of Mr. Baldwin's apeech state that the Conservative policy of modernising home industry and multiplying the overseas markets caused them to look to the development of the Colonies. He referred to Colonies, not Domin- ions, because the latter were self- governed. The best contribution we could make to the Dominions was to give them the best of our people and the best terms of Pre- ference possible.
