BALDWIN THE TERRIBLE

SETTLING THE PRESS BARONS PUBLIC APPROVATJ United rress Association—By Electric. TeleEr'aph—Copyright. (Received 19th March, 10 a.m. ) LONDON, 18th March. The "Morning Post" says that Mr. Baldwin is stronger in his leadership as the result of his attack. Moreover, he 'has retorted upon one of his assail; ants with a talent for invective' which the -world did not suspect in so. meek a man. The "Daily Telegraph" says that Mr. Baldwin's performance has no parallel in British political history for. a full century. "His silence,only encouraged his adversaries, but yesterday he paid the score in full." - The "Daily Herald" says: "In one hour' Mr. Baldwin returned withj interest seven years' personal attacks by the Press barons. It was as Baldwin the Terrible he subdued three thousand cheering people to silence in a speech without precedent in our generation." The "News-Chronicle" considers Mr. Baldwin's language justified as far as the /attack of which he complained was concerned, but the paper questions whether such a' speech will promote the decencies of public life.
