TORY PRINCIPLES.
Campaign of Explanation by Party Leaders. NECESSITY FOR TARIFFS. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, April 12. The Conservative office announces that the party's leader, Mr, Baldwin, will address seven maw meetings, beginning on the day after the presentation of the Budget. He will expound the necessity of economy, of a policy of protection, of Empire trade development, and of aid to agriculture. Lord Hailsham, Mr. L. C. M. S. Amery, Sir Arthur Steel-Maitlaud, Sir Auste'n and Mr. Neville Chamberlain, and Sir Robert Home, all former Conservative Ministers, will hold similar meetings. Mr. Baldwin, in a letter to Mr. E. S. Shrapnell-Smith, the Conservative candidate at the East Woolwich by-election, says: "We must have tariffs to give us bargaining power against foreign countries, to protect British workers from unemployment, and to prevent the foreigner from capturing more and more of British trade. That is the great issue in the East Woolwich bv-election."
Seven members of Parliament have died this year, and five by-elections are still pending.
