PROTECTION AND THE WORKER
PILL GILDED WITH SOCIAL
REFORM
MR HENDERSON STATES LABOUR'S AIMS.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTWGHT.) (AU3TRAMAX-KEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received 2nd November, 1 p.m.) LONDON, Ist November. Mr. Arthur Henderson, speaking at Acton, snid it -was a tragic mockery for Mr. Baldwin to propose Protection as a solution of unemployment. Protection was offered, skilfully associated with a promise of social reform, which was the sugar-coating on the. Protectionist pill. The protection afforded to the workers by trades unions was not aj parallel to the protection of markets and industries. The Labour policy aimed at the establishment of equal standards in all industrial countries, and of international peace and reconstruction. A fundamental reorganisation of industry was required before the causes of "unemployment inherent in the present system of production for profit could be removed. Labour put theso aims forward as a constructive alternative to protective tariff, Imperial preference, and Stateaided migration.
