London, March 20. Mr. Baldwin's recent pronounce- ments on defence have, I bear, led to a change of plan on the part of the Right Wing group in the Conservative party.
At the Blackpool Conference last October a motion was passed unanimously recording grave an- provision: xiety concerning the made for Imperial defence.
Certain Right Wing elements who have hitherto been dissatis fied with the Government in this respect were for bringing the matter up again at the meeting of the Central Committee

Striking Figures Revealed
London, April 8. In the past fifteen years no fe wer than 2,175,000 new houses have been erected in England, and of this number nearly 1,900,000 have been within the last ten years, 60 per cent, of them being erected by private enterprise.
Though the population of Britain has increased by only 2,000,000 since the war the new housing accom- modation provided is sufficient for three times that number.
The greatest activity has taken place in the suburbs of London where nearly 500,000 new homes have been built in the last ten years,
This development is reflect- ed in the official returns of Build- Ing Sogleties, which show that since 1922 the amount advanced on mortgages has substantially increased each year.
In the last seven years the annual total has nearly doubled, and it is predicted that the 1033 figure will reach £100,000,000 nearly of £10,- 000,000 above the record total of
