"CURING WITH POISON"
PROTECTION USELESS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT.
LONDON, 26th October. Mr. Arthur Henderson, speaking at Yeovil, aaid: "Mr. Baldwin wants a verdict on the general question of protection as the only solution of unemployment. That challenge the Labour Party unhesitatingly accepts. Mr. Baldwin's confession of fiscal faith is a confession of utter bankruptcy regarding unemployment. I deny that protection anywhere, at any time, has solved the problem of unemployment. A protective system is no guarantee against unemployment. To attempt to cure unemployment by administering a- dose- of poison from which we are already suffering is a negation of sound sense and good statesmanship. A protectionist system means a system of taxation of the most vicious kind, levied without regard to sound principles and sound finance, and imposing additional burdens, on the already overburdened people."
