THE MODERN WAY

MR. BALDWIN ADDRESSES NINE AUDIENCES FIRST SHOT IN ELECTION CAMPAIGN GRADUAL RECOVERY OF WAR LOSSES (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian Press Assn. —United Service 1 (Rec. February 28, 7.55 p.m.) London, February 27. Using the latest election engineering broadcasting device, by which his speech was heard in nine halls in various towns in Lancashire and Cheshire, with audiences totalling 35,000, Mr. Baldwin addressed a meeting in the Free Trades Hail at Manchester.

He lengthily traversed the Labour Party’s policies and declared that nationalisation and socialism were the very negation of the spirit of individual enterprise, and would reduce the people to the level of marionettes dancing to the dictation of the officials’ dance of death, so far as national progress was concerned. Mr. Baldwin added that despite some black spots we were finding more work every year and were regaining our lost markets. Slowly but surely we were making good the losses caused by the war. Mr. Baldwin has definitely decided not to reconstruct the Cabinet before the election. THE LIBERAL CAMPAIGN MR. LLOYD GEORGE’S PROMISE Australian Press Association. (Rec. February 28, 11.25 p.m.) Berlin, February 28. The Liberal election campaign is being opened to-day. Mr. Lloyd George will address a great luncheon party at Connaught Rooms, attended by peers and members of the House of Commons, and candidates and their supporters.
