"ENGLAND DIES IF SHIP'S COMPRADORE EASTERN NEWS IN FREE TRADE GOES."
MR. RAMSAY MUIR'S DECLARATION.
England dies if Free Trade goes," declared Mr. Ramsay Muir, speaking at Read, in the Clitheroe, Division, Inst month.
Terrible as were the figures of un- employment, continued Mr. Muir, there was another distressing fea ture of the present situation, and that was a strange sort of apathy, a lack of hope, on the part of people in the Government. He was not surprised. The Conservative Government sat for five years and all it did was to spent a vast amount of money. The Labour the party went into office on strength, of all manner of promises, and the result had been-nothing. There was one party which had not been tried in the present grave crisis-the Liberal party.. The party held that loans should be raised and capital invested in the work of strengthening and recon- structing the equipment of the country, se" that England would be better able to compete with foreign. trade rivals. There was a great deal waiting to be done, and work could be found for idle hands, an

A Critical Stage. "The Labour Government finds that it has reached a critical stage," Mr. Muir said. Its sup- porters are losing confidence in it. The leaders are getting the wind' up,' and are turning toward us. I think the sympathy of the country is on the side of these who say, as the Liberals, say, Let us treat this matter as a national emer gency. We say that we should all put all our strength and brains into the matter and never mind who If the Labour gets the credits. Government is willing to act in that spirit, they will receive from us the fullest support. apathy that was producing the mood that people were feeling ready to turn to anything for a solution of the problem. Nothing could be worse than the present conditions, people were saying, and urging that Safeguarding should be tried. "Make no mistake about it," de clared Mr. Muir," things could be a great deal worse and would be a great deal worse if we were to adopt the ideas of the Protectionists.'
Protective systems, were always bad for export trade. If they were. to believe Protectionists, they- would think England had lost her export trade. That was not true. Į In cotton alone England to-day, was exporting as much as all the other cotton-manufacturing countries of the world. England was exporting Miss C.
