GENERAL ELECTION.
MR. LLOYD GEORGE GIVES A SLOGAN.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. MONDAY APRIL 27 19
London, Apr. 20. "Beef and broccoli" is the first slogan of the General Election campaign and has arisen owing. to the polley enunciated by Mr. Baldwin on Thursday. In refor ring to the British agricultural possibilities, the Premier made' à point of English broccoli from Cornwall penetrating to Cop- Linental markets.
The cry has been taken up by Mr. Lloyd Georgo in a speech broadcast last night dealing with the urgency of the unemployment problem, when he cried, fronically, that the British troops, who had been patriotically regaled on good ok roast beef in winter had be come cosmopolitans on bully beef in the summer. Henceforth the "Union Jack would fly at the hend of a broccoli stalk.”
Nevertheless the Conservatives are maintaining that the export of broccoli is in no way 'an Insigni- ficant portent. It is the outcome of the enterprise and co-operation of Cornish growers, the railways and the Ministry of Agriculture resulting in the production of a huge variety of the vegetablè which is favoured on the contin- unt. Scientific grading, market- ing and expeditious distribution, Justifies the plantation of a con- siderably increased acreage to meet the increasing foreign de-. mand.-Reuter.
