BRITISH BY-ELECTION FIGHT. British Official Wireless. RUGBY, June 15. Polling will take place on Thursday in tlie by-election in the Lewes division of Sussex. The Prime Minister, Mr. Baldwin, addressed a letter to the Conservative candidate, stating: "You can point to the great progress which has been made in the development of our social services under the National Government, and you can instance the enormous improvement in trade and industrial conditions reflected in the fact that during the first quarter of this year industrial production, as well as employment, beat all previous records. The very fact that you stand for national security as a means for the promotion of peace is itself a sufficient reason why the electors should rally to you." The Opposition candidate received a letter from the Labour Leader, Major C. R. Attlee, who declared that the main issue of the day is "poverty in the midst of plenty," and that the policy of the National Government is one of restriction and waste.
