FUND.

The return of the cold weather in England is sure to increase the hardships and privations of the workless British miners and their families. Accordingly, we again appeal for further up- port to the Lord Mayor's Fund.

To-day, an anonymous dona- tion of $10 is to hand from "S.G." and this brings the) total so far received by the Telegraph to $3,211 and 10/~~

We hope soon to announce further substantial contribu- tions.

The Home Secretary dwelt at some length on the achievements of the present Government both In the domestic and foreign fields, commenting

the briefly upon

the hopes that were placed in working of the rating relief schemes.

Sir William expressed .com- plete confidence that the defeat of the Conservative Party at the Goneral Election in June .could not come from outside the party.

Its defeat would only be the result of the withdrawal of the allegiance of disgruntled men and women within the party who think of themselves before the party and the nation.

He was confident of this, he said, because the Labour Party was torn with dissension in its ranks while the Liberals were of insufficient vitality to have dissen- Bions.
