THE SOCIALIST
· "VOLCANO."
"COLD ON TOP: HOT AT
THE BOTTOM."
Mr. Baldwin recently addressed' a great demonstration' in the Usher 'Hall, Edinburgh, in connexion with the annual conference of tho Scut- Lish Unionist Association.
He received an enthusiastic recep- tion on riking, and his opening ro- imarks that "the party was full of spirit, and fully resolved to win next time" were loudly cheered.

Referring to the Government, Mr. Baldwin proceeded:
"Already the gilt is coming off the gingerbrend. Now that our op. ponents are getting down to. tackling problems of real life they are showing a want of conviction and principle that must be seen to bo believed. They are slowing nothing in the conduct of their legislation but of waiting on pediency-not only the expediency of the moment; not the expediency which they find on the banks of the Forth; but expediency they find on the banks of the Clyde"-laughter and cheers.)
"Rope of Sand" Promises,
The peculiar fențare of the political
Mr. situation today. Baldwin continued, was that the loaders of Socialism had become sceptics. Nationalisation dend as Queen Anne.

It had become like . Ciurch under the rule of n special. Epis copate which was trying to control the crowd of enthusiastic preachers who still believed in the winking Pol at the street corner. (Laughter and cheers,)
The Labour Party leaders Nano- tioned promises and pledges at the General Election which they must have known waro incapable of fulfilment. These ' promises were the rope of sand which would yet throttle then, before it dissolved to ita component, dunt
"Tam very sorry for Mr. Thomas now responsible for unemploy ment," added Mr. Baldwin. "He is in an impossible position, and there is nothing for him to do ox- copt 'droe his sin weird.' His pitch has been queered by his own `parly from the start, and he has dever been given a chance."
The essential proliminary condi- tions before any man could hope to inekle unemployment, Mr. Baldwin stated, were economy of administra- |tion, certainty and not uncertainty, and keeping politics out of industry. Instead of economy we were going to have more taxation; instead of certainty we had uncertainty: nad to politics in industry the Clovero- ment were coming back through the Con Bill which had just been in- troduced.
Alluding to recent rises in the nemployment figures, he predicted that we were going to see if the spring a defüit in the Budget which had been variously, calculated at anything "from twenty to thirty or forty millique, the mixin fart. of which must be met by extra taxa- tion.
"No wonder I said that Mr. Thomas's task was 'n honelcas one,” Mr. Baldwin added, "when his own Government are going to pince further burdens on industry which will lead inevitably to a rise in the cost of living.**
He could not soe, in the absenco
of further information, how the Coal Bill would help unemployment. The effort of the legislation would be to throw back the con? industry into that political arena from which with such infinite difficulty the Conservative Government saved it at the end of 1926,
Mr. Cook "The Genie,"
"After a struggle which was felt for years in the industries of this country," Mr. Baldwin observed, "the Government at the end of 1928 succeeded in corking up the genie, Mr. Cook, in a bottle, feeding him up and putting him away in the Welsh, valloys. This Government brought the bottle up from the Welsh vallova! laid it on-the stops of No. 10, Downing-street, took the cork out, and the genio has once more risen from the bottle into an enormous size, and is now threaten- ing the Government and Parliament to do his will once mare, In the Arabian Nights' the man who un- corked the gedie from the bottle regretted it to the last day of his life. (Laughter and chears.).
The Government is bound down by being pledged to promises which cannot be redeemed. It is in the position of a business whose ultimate bankruptcy: is inevitable because it has fasued bills without. any regard to the assets it had to meet them. By and. by all the creditors will realise that the bills were paper, and when that, comes |a", receiver will bo‚put in '-with universal applause and we shall ba ready (Cheers.)··
