In an outline... of his Imperial policy (which received the sup-; port of all present with the excep- tion of Lord Beaverbrook) Mr. Baldwin said that he had already decided that nothing short of a manufactured tarif on foreign goods would meet the situation of British industry.

It is not clear whether the pilot is among the victims. One report announces his death. An Imperial Airways statement numbers him among the injured.
The crash was apparently due to engine failure. The pilot' was secking a place to land when he ran into dense fog.

Lord Beaverbrook's was the only hand that was not raised.
Mr. Baldwin then stated that he had been pressed to resign the leadership of the Party. In some circumstances, he did not say that he would have resigned, but he would, have considered the mat- ter.
