(Received 10 a.m.)
LONDON, July 23
The announcement that the London County Council is planning to spend £35,000,000, spread over 10 years, in a slum clearance scheme, rehousing 250,000 people in the East End, coincides with a statement by Mr. Stanley Baldwin in a speech at Cambridge. He declared that the Government's anti-slum crusade must be the greatest effort in living memory, comparable to that for the abolition of slavery. They must wipe out the slums, he said, whether in town or country. "Everybody is entitled to live in conditions of comfort, health and happiness as far as we are able to afford," he said.
