BASIS OF GOVERNMENT'S APPEAL.

THE EXTREMIST MENACE.

BY CABLE— PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received Oct. 16, 9.30 a.m. j LONDON, Oct. 15. I Whether Labour .shall or shall not be allowed to govern seems likely to "be the basis of the Government's appeal, both to Coalition members of Parliament and the country at the elections, judging from Mr. Chamberlain's speech. Mr. Chamberlain's attack on "Labour was -no surprise." Mr. J/ H. Thomas states it is evident that the Coalition battle-cry will be a wicked Labour Government. He added: "We accept the challenge. I feel happy respecting the outcome." , Mr. Clynes declared that the Government was trying to shield themselves by shouting: „ "Beware of Labour." j The Times, in a leader, pronounces Mr. Chamberlain's speech -as a failure and an unwise, unfair, misleading, and deliberate attempt to conjure up the liabour Party as a terrible menace. It betrays an. attitude oi mind which demonstrates that the Government is no longer fitted to control the destinies of the nation. —United Service.
