Liberals and Conservatives JOINT ACTION AGAINST SOCIALISTS. A MOVEMENT INITIATED. (By Cable.—Preu Aißociation.*Copyright.] (Received 28, 10.30 a.m.) Londonj April 27. Captain the Hon. Frederick Guest, who was chief Liberal whip for the Coalition Government, has written to Mr. Asquith pointing out that though a coalition of Liberals and Conservatives is now impossible and undesirable, the Socialists’ well-organised subversive movement against the economic life of the country, especially by the nationalisation of industries, demands common action on the part of Liberals and Conservatives. He predicts that many Liberals/ while retaining Liberal Principles, will feel it their duty to co-operate with the Sonservatives for the definite purpose of defeating th© Socialists’ intentions. The “Daily Mail” comments that Captain Guest and .other Liberals desire to form a Liberal-Unionist group co-operating with the Conservatives. The movement may die out unless the Conservative leaders give an assurance of a working arrangement by which Conservative candidates will not oppose these Liberals at the next elections.—(Sydney “Sun” cable.)
