(Received May 8, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, May i. Lord Birkenhead, addressing the Southampton Chamber of Commerce, said: “We are firing in a critical period of English politics. The next two vears will inevitably determine the Empire’s and England’s fortune, possibly for half a century. _ the election ahead is the most critical .ever held in England’s history, discriminating between men believing m sanity sobriety, and continuity of Eng lisa li"e, and those believing m Moscow s f ever-stricken, malignant doctrines. There is nobody in the _ Goyerninen.-to-day who is not making, immense sacrifices in order to remain a member of it. If tliev undertake these tasks surely they have some right to ask something of 'the people i I am satisfied England’s heart _is sound. The nation’s great spirit is available to repel Moscow, but it •will not he available unless men who hitherto have not participated in politics come to our assistance.” —A,N Z.C'.A.
