NATIONAL MANIFESTO COMING
NO DEFINITE TARIFF FLEDGE EXPECTED. INDIAN CONFERENCE TO PROCEED. (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 6. Mr Ramsay MacDonald sets the ball rolling to-morrow night at 9.20, by "broadcasting, a manifesto by wireless, ■on which he was busy at five o’clock this morning. It has been drafted 'oh the broadest lines. The manifesto is not expected to contain a definite tariff pledge, but an appeal to the electorate for an open mandate to. solve the country’s crisis as day-to-day developments necessitate.- ■ The fact that there is no 'agreed formula has led- to speculation as to how Conservative and Liberal clashes "will be avoided, 'to prevent, a repetition of Lalbour’s. many minority successes in 11929; but it is understood that local organisations will be urged to arbitrate for the purpose of ensuring a straight-out, fight against Labour. Meanwhile the work of the Indian Conference will proceed without interruption. 'Mr MacDonald and Lord . Sankey are maintaining close official <<oontact therewith.
