LEWES BY-ELECTION
ADVICE FROM PARTY LEADERS (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, June 15. Polling will take place next Thursday in the by-election in the Lewes Division (Sussex), and the Prime Minister (Mr Stanley Baldwin) has addressed a letter to the Conservative candidate, stating: “You can point to the great progress made in the development of our social sendees under the National Government. You can instance the enormous improvement in trade and industrial conditions reflected in the fact that during the first quarter of this year industrial production, as well as employment, beat all previous records. The very fact that you stand for national security as a means of the promotion of peace is itself sufficient reason why the electors should rally to you.” The Opposition candidate received a letter from Major Attlee, the Labour leader, who declares that the main issue of the day is poverty in the midst of plenty, and that the policy of the National Government is one of restriction and waste.
