INTERESTING COMMENT

-LONDON, 30th March

Commenting oh the BeavcrbrookBaldwiu statement, Mr. L. C. M. S. Amery said: "I think tho settlement is in every way satisfactory, ana I am sure we are all very glad to welcome the powerful assistaneo Lord Beaverbrook can render our common cause. '

"Agriculture must effectively be included in any national policy. Its protection should be a primary, direct object, not merely contingent upon Imperial preference, though intimately •linked up with it." , ' The "Morning Post" welcomes the entente and says that Lord Bcaverbrook and tho Conservatives'may look forward with confidence to tho end of disastrous government. • The "Daily Telegraph" asks if Lord Bothcrmere is among tho friends Lord Beaverbrook consulted, and whether Lord Kothcnncre is prepared to cooperate with tho Conservatives.,v

The "Daily Herald" characterises it as Lord Boavcrbrook's "sensational surrender."

i The "Daily TCxpress" says tho message will go out to the Dominions: "You will never come to us again as in 1930, and bo turned empty.a.way."

"While the farmers of Britain will not be used merely asp a bargaining pawn witli the Dominions, every measure will be taken to project the farmers from unfair foreign competition," the newspaper adds. "The policy enunciated to-day will amount to n national cause."

Tho "Daily Mail" does not comment on tho announcement.
