(AUSTRALIAN-NBW ZEALAND CABLB ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 29th Ootober.
Mr. J. H. Thomas says: "Already two Ministers are contradicting themselves as to what Mr. Baldwin's speech meant. Sir W. Joynson-Hicks said it "would be criminal to tax food, while Mr. Neville Chamberlain said that at last the country was going to adopt his father's policy. "There are two definitions almost boforo the Prime Minister's speech is dry, though', 1' added Mr. Tlibmas sarcastically,, "it i^ a consolation to the unemployed workers to be told tha Government can give a ' General Election next year. The Labour Party, however, will accept the challenge. If the threatened election is going to stimulate industry and help trade, why not apply the remedy immediately?"
