Mr. Churchill was the speaker last night for the seventh address in the pre-Dissolution, scries of. broadcast political talks. He was clearly heard.
In an easy, conversational style, the Chancellor of the Exchequer put forward the Conservative caso as though talking directly to each listener from un armchair by the Areale. Raroly did he produce a sentence in the style of platform oratory, but rather depended on a quiet and assured manuer to con- vince his hearers..
In his closing words Mr. Chur- chill warned the electorate against apathy or over-credulity, lest they should wake one morning to find, that the stability and ever-increas- ing prosperity of the British Em- pire ahould have departed.
Mr. Lloyd George's unemploy ment scheme, remarked Mr. Chur- chill, would only delay men getting back to regula. industry. Work on the roads would, in many cases, spoll their hands for their own trudes. It would interrupt the whole natural recovery of indu- stry, and, when the money for the relief work had been spent, they would be thrown back upon the tabour market, and the, country would be saddled for several gen- : erations with the intereal upon the ; money borrowed and spent,

Continuing, the Chancellor of the; Exchequer declared:

Avoid chops and changes of policy:' avoid thimble-riggers and three-card trick men; avoid all needless borrowings; and above all, avoid as you would the small pox class warfare and violent political strife. These are almost copy-book maxims, but do not let us forget the copy-book maxima. All wisdom.Is not new wisdom. There is really no doubt, what we ought to do and what we ought to go on doing, and what we ought to avoid and what we ought to keep on avoiding. We know it only to well,

The issue at the Election, the Chancellor proceeded, wa's much graver than unemployment. It was the well-being of the whole British people and the position of Britain and her Empire in this Power- gigantic modern world.
ful, mighty countries were tower- ing up as rivals, competitors with us in every form of human activi- ty, in every way in which we got aur daily bread.
These are critical years for the British Empire, Mr. Churchill con- tinued. Shall we draw more closely together, or shall we draft and fall to pieces? Will the noble comradeship of the Grent Ward unite us as we have never been united before, or will that prodigi- ous event turn out to be only what Mr. Bernard Shaw has called "the last sprig of the old Lion" ? If we can come through this critical. period, if we can draw ever closer together, then indeed we shall be the equal of any organisation yet founded among men; and the Bri- tish Empire and the United States can walk forward side by side leading mankind in majesty and
peace.
I spoke of rivals, of peaceful rivals of Britain, the Chancellor proceeded; but, what of her cnomies? These enemies do not dwell only in foreign lands, they are to be found here and there in every part of the British Empire, in every Dominion and Depen- dency of the Crown, and we have them hore at our own heart at home.

TEA CLIPPER DAYS.
INTERESTING FILM AT, THE QUEEN'S.
"The Yankee Climer," now, showing at the Queen's make a very acceptable picture. As a story of senmanship before the advent of the steamship, it is a production which may be classed as out of the ordinary, while reviving the full charm and romance associated with the days of the China tea- clippers.
Briefly, the story tells of the" friendly struggle between two erack vessels for the capture of the Foochow ten-trade. In the race that follows between the twe craft, is shown how much seamanship. and the trim of each ship matter- ed and how the extraction of an additional: knot put of the speed. was all-important. Into the story- there is also woven another romance, between man and maid, with its climax hound up with the outcome of the race,
