ZANNI'S FLIGHT.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin in his election address says the experiment of minority Government had proved short-lived and a failure, but sulllelently Indicated what would be the character of the Socialist Government, I was dependent not on other parties but on its own extremists.

The support und strengthening of the League of Nations on practical lines should be a cardinal principle of Britisk foreign| policy, subject always to the overriding consideration that we cannot enter into commitments involving peace or war without the con- currence of the Dominions.

Common agreement by all parties was desirable for a permanent solution of the agricultural problem. All practical steps would be taken to ensure that Imported foreign food- stuffs would be sold as such. Further development of the sugar beet industry, rural industries generally, would receive particular con- sideration. "We are opposed to land nationalisation and taxation of lund values and all schemes of spoliation.". The address.deals. lengthly with bousing, age and widow's pensions, education 'and the necessity of réforms affecting women and children of ex-

Service men.

Mr. Baldwin accuses the Socialist Government of forcing a rush election. Their refusal of an enquiry into the withdrawal of the Workers' Weekly prosecution, suggests that the result of the enquiry would have proved that the course of justice had been de #ected by partisan considerations. Furthermore, the Government now realised the makeshift treaty, burriedly patched up with the Savicts under pressure of extremists, was indefensible. The address dwells on the uiter failure of the Government to deal with unem- ployment and the folly of abolishing the McKenna duties. Part two of the Safeguarding of Industries Act was an even greater folly, wreeking the hopes of rapid expansion of Imperiul, trade, which would be followed by adoption of proposals at the Imperial economic conference. It says the task of grappling with unemployment la a primary obligation. Conservatives are determined to safeguardi employment and the standard of living where these are imperilled by unfair foreign competition, by applying the principle of the Safe- guarding of Industries Act and analogous measures.. Without such provision, the carrying out of the Dawes plan would only prove disastrous to Britain. The best hope of Industrial revival lies in the development of the resources of trade of the British Empire by mea- sures of Imperial preference and the promotion of Empire develop, ment by Empire settlement. Indeed the strengthening of the develop- .ment of Empire by every possible meana, is the first and dominant

item of the Conservative policy.

The Liberal election manifesto, signed by Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George, advocates peace, social reform and national develop-: ment; emphasises the desirability of Free Trade; urges the extension. and co-ordination of the Insurance Acts; electoral reform; pro- poses State acquisition of mineral rights of coalfields; Státe-aided establishment of superpower atations; outlines proposnis dealing with rural and urban land problems; castigates Labour's failure to solve social problems, and opposes the Anglo-Soviet Treaty,

The manifesta saya the Labourites have forced the election because they are unprepared to face an enquiry into the · Campbell case and wished to ovado Parliamentary discussion of the loan to Russia. It refers to the Liberals assistance to the Government's "halting, ineffective and unimaginative", efforts-of social foform and favours the re-establishing of economic and commercial relations with Russia, but opposes the Anglo-Soviet Treaty. The manifesto stresso's increasing unemployment and shortage of houses; proposes alteration of the system of land tenure; a State-aanistod schome of agricultural credit; businesslike marketing of produco; co-ordinating transport servicos; and draining reclamation whereby land is utilised in the Interests of the whole community. Furthermore, it proposes to tackle urban problems, whereby land valusa contribute to the expenses of maintaining the conveniences, utilities and amenities.of the town, alums will be transformed and the leasehold system re formed.
