ARMS REDUCTION
FAVOURED BY BRITISH CONSERVATIVES BUT EMPIRE MUST NOT BE ENDANGERED Rugby, January 4. lu a letter wishing success to Captain Renton, Conservative candidate in the Northampton by-election, the Prime Minister (Mr. Stanley Baldwin) declares that the Conservative Party can fairly claim to have carried out its •pledges. Fie especially recalls in this connection the contributory scheme of pensions set on foot by the party when it assumed office. He adds:— "In my view both our Liberal and Socialist opponents are apt to lost sight of the basic fact that we are before all things u trading nation. The Conservative Party recognises the _ vital fact that the first great essential to industrial success is peace in industry. "Abroad, the Conservative Party stands' for the reduction of unnecessary armaments by international agreement, but with this proviso, that, in no circumstances, and under no pressure, will it agree to any reduction by which the security of this great Empire is likely to be endangered.”— British Official Wireless.
