"THE TEST OF STATESMANSHIP IS FINANCIAL SOLIDITY.'

The Liberals, without that ex amination, are prepared to cure unemployment, and to cure it quickly, and they have made these statements in florid and flamboyant which the Americans language, describe as "saying it. with fow- ers." (Laughter.)
Compulsory Insurance,
Speaking before an audience of 1 over 3,000 people in Colston Hall. Bristol, the Prime Minister criticised the Liberal policy and stressed the good points in the Conservative administration. The speech was conveyed by land lines to eight other towns as well as to an open- air meeting on Durdham Downs.

The men do not exist in these numbers who could be at once trans- ferred, assuming that the money could be raised and the local authorities could get them into ag- tion. There is discreet silence as to the rates of wages to be paid. I dread the friction and the rise in
prices. The remedy is far worse than the disease, I had a strong suspicion, before I studied this. matter, that these schemes owe their origin not a much to a desire to cure unemployment as to provide porpse-reviver for the Liberal Party.
If I believed myself that bur- rienne tactics would do us any good I would adopt them to-mor- row, but I do not.
