POLITICAL CONSPIRACY.

London, Nov. 17.

A wonderful reception was accorded Mr. Lloyd George's first speech in the Liberal campaign at Northampton when a packed hall of nearly three thousand people thundered applause,

The ex-Premier declared that this was not a general election: it was a conspiracy. Mr. Bonar Law placed a duoy in the channel. but the mutinzers had got hold of a weak man on the bridge and persuaded him to pull up the busy, and the ship was going head-leng en the rocks unless the people changed the crew. The conspirators were now patting Lorda Derby, Salisbury and Robert Cecil under the hatches (Laughter and cheera) with the object of cånning them before they were able to oraæl away. Derby bad managed to thrust oat a claw, but he had been captured and hermetically sealed and was now on sale at the Tariff Reform counter. The Government's fiscal proposals were a subterfuge and plant The settlement of Europe remained the first necessity; they wanted protection not from French goods but from French militarism.

Referring to M. Poincare's speech to-day as threatening the end of the Entente, he said: He gives the pour Entente baby a week- end bath of sulpharie acid #Laughter) just to keep it clean and bright. How can the poor brat get on Britain under the present Govern- ment was negligible. In the Councils of Europe. Britain's suggestions and proposals were rejected and nothing happened. Mr. Baldwin had called on M. Poincare, and M. Poincare, having refused a con- ference, consulted the Belgian Government. Britain did not count. Britain was not worth consulting. She sends messages across: "We suggest as" and so,” them they say: "We are very sorry; it is either too late or too sòca. (Laughter). We will talk to you later. Thal Britain, who spent ten thousand million and lost niste hundred thousand lives, whose sacrifices and courage saved these crantries from vas- salage, is of no account, was humiliating, and because they had made a mess of it they were trying to divert attention to something else. Americans returned from the continent said the common ex- planation in Europe and America was that we were frightened of French seroplanes, this dauntless people who did not fear anything or anybody except the fear of God in their hearts (Cheers).

A large number of Commoners did act wait for prorogation before rushing to their constituencies which are beginning to hum with excitement. The fact that the fight between Liberals and Labour promises to be as keen as the struggle between the Free Traders and Tarif Reformers means fall-blooded triangular contests throughout the country. The Conservatives have been reunited, at least on the platform, by the promise of Lord Birkenhead and Mr. Chamberlin to support Mr. Baldwin in their constituencies, although conditions preclude their acceptance of office, while Lancashire Uzionists, fol- foxing the lead of Lord Derby, are supporting the Government's general tariff polley. It is noteworthy bereanent that Mr. Baldwin has promised not to impose a duty on raw costen.

Mr. Church re-entered the arena last night at Manchester,, plumping fon Free Trade. He declared that Free Traders had retained freedom to promote inter-Imperial trade without cramping world-wide enterprise. He described the Government's adoption of Protection as a sudden and mystic conversion like Saul at Damascos. Mr. Churchill quoted the experience of Balaam's ass, as similar to what had befallen Mr. Baldwin recently in journeying from Downing Street to Plymouth.

An Infuential speech on the Government side was delivered by Viscount Peel at Lincoln, dwelling inter-alie on the intense cimos- phere of goodwill to Britain from the Empire and the enthusiasm die plared by the Indian delegates at the Imperial Conference.

A manifesto issued by the Labour Party condemns tariffs which are no remedy for unemployment but pelson in the life of nations to impoverish their peoples. The Labour Party has the positive remedy for unemployment. It' outlines herearent an elaborate programme of national schemes for productive work, also special measures to restore the prosperity of agriculture by establishing machinery for regulating wages and assisting co-operative methods. The manifesto advocates a policy of International co-operation through an enlarged League of Nations, the immediate British convocation of on International Cón- ference to revise the Versailles Treaty and resumption, of relations with Russia. It condemns the failure of the Government to reduce the war-debt and says that a Tabour Chancellor of the Exchequer would immediately work out a scheme to impose a non-remarriag graduated war deb: rédemption levy on all individual fortunes exceed- ing five thousand sterling to be devoted solely to a reduction of the debt which would facilitate reduction of income tax, abolition of food taxes, entertainments tax and corporation profits tax, and provide money for social services. The Party aims at the creation of a rom- monwealth of co-operative service by scientific organisation of in- dastry and the control of public utilities..

in a manifesto to his constituents, Mr. Baldwin says the objects of imposing duties on manufactured goods would be:

Firstly, to raise revenue by leas unfair methods to home

production;

Secondly, to give special assistance to industries suffering

from unfair foreign competition;

Thirdly, to utilise the duties in order to negotiate reduction

of foreign tariffs;

Fourthly, to give substantial preference to the Empire an

the whole range of duties.

The manifesto mentions pats as amongst the articles on which duties would not be imposed and intimates that the additional re: venue would be devoted inter alia to the reduction of the duties a tea and sugar.

It save that a substantial portion of the seventeen light cruisers and a variety of smaller craft required in the next few years will be laid down as soon as Parliamentary sanction has been secored in order to assist the shipbuilding industry.
