BRITAIN IS LEAGUE'S BULWARK

"POSSIBLY SEVERER TESTS AHEAD"

BALDWIN DEMANDS NEW NAVAL STRENGTH

London, Oct. 25.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of Great Britain, in the course of his first election speech, broad- cast throughout the country to-day, declared that if all nations had joined the League of Nations and had remained members of the League, war could have been stopped.

But with Germany, Japan and the United States outside of the League it was a far more difficult task to prevent conflict or, when it had broken out, to end it, he said.

42

Under the present conditions, the League was handicapped, and saddled with a great responsibility | and a great weight of prejudicial circumstance the first real test of League strength was taking place. "The League may have olher and possibly severer tests ahead. If sanctions of a 'sovere kind are imposed that will inevitably lead to a blockade, and the brunt of trouble of that kind must fall in the beginning upon the British Navy, in conjunction with others if we are fortunate, possibly nione | if we are unfortunate." the Prime Minister warned.

"We led the world towards dis- armament. Others did

London, Oct. 25.

Political party manifestoes, long ready and await- ing the announcement of the date of the general elec- tion, are being issued to-day.

In the Labour manifesto, an appeal is made to the electorate from established socialist lines.

The National Party manifestoes are signed by Mr. Stanley Baldwin, for the National Conservatives, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, for National Labour, and by Sir John Simon, for the National Liberals.

A manifesto is expected shortly from Sir Herbert Samuel, straight Liberal advocate, who will advise his followers to vote for candidates favouring Mr. David Lloyd George's policy and the National Council for Peace and Reconstruction,
