Cornwall, Sept. 9.

Derick Heathcoat Amory, Chancellor of the Exchequer, tonight said Britain's forthcoming general election was going tu be " hard and a stern

fight."

At the end of his speech at a Conservative rally here, the Chancellor tonsted his Party's

success by drinking a ginss of mlik.

It was the dral major speech of the election campaign.

The supreme issue in the com- ing election, said Mr Heathenat Amory, was going to be "n

freedom choice between

and for the Individua) opportunity and the all-pervading power of a bureaucratic socialist state.”

TORY VICTORY

He believed the election would end in Conservative victory for two reasons,

Firstly, I believe the country today is even less attracted by the deadly uniformity and restriction of socialism and that goes for the younger section of the nation even more than those who are older,

"Secondly that just De in 1935, the Labour Party found Ilsrif divided by internal jealousies and split on issues of

the firal importance, so they are today.
