"MY WIFE

London, June 25.
"My wife persuaded me to stay in politics," Lord Baldwin confessed to the Central Council meeting in London yesterday of the National Union of Conservative: and Unionist Associations.
The meeting had just presented him with a bound volume of 557 resolutions of appreciation.
As Lord Baldwin rose to reply cheering broke out from all sides and everyone burst into "For he's a jolly good fellow."
"As Prime Minister," said Lord Baldwin, "I have been; shouted down, and I was indifferent to it.
"I have sat down in the House of Commons in a dead silence, and 1 was indifferent to it.
When I have sat down on those rare occasions, and cheers have come from the heart, as they have to-day, then I do care and I am overwhelm- ed."

of the Exehequer. One_paragraph read: "What a morning day. Two salman this and the offer of the Exchequer In the afternoon."
