| GREAT BRITISH PLAN. £35,000,000 TO BE SPENT. .MR BALDWIN ON HOUSING CRUSADE. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —BY JSLKCTR2C T£LF.ORAI'U— COI'YfUGUr.) LONDON, July 23. The announcement that the London County Council is planning to spend £35,000.000 spread over 10 years on a slum clearance scheme and on the rehousing of 250,000 persons in the East End, coincides with a speech by Mr Stanley Baldwin at Cambridge. He declared: "The Government's crusade against slums must be the greatest effort in living memory, comparable with the efforts to abolish slavery. We must abolish slums, whether in the town or the country. Everybody is entitled to live in conditions of comfort, health, and happiness so far as we are able to afford."
