Polling takes place next Thursday in tho by-election in the Lewes Division of Sussex, and the Prime Minister addressed a letter to the Conservative candidate, stating: “You can point to the great progress made in the development of our social services 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 the industrial production, as well as employment, beat all previous records. The very fact you stand for national security as a means of promotion of peace is itself sufficient reason why the electors should rally to you.’’ The Opposition candidate received a letter from Mr Attlee, who declares: 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.
