LABOUR CONFERENCE
PRESIDENT’S FORECAST.
ON EVE OF BIG BATTLE,
(Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 9.10 a.m.) London, October 5.
Mr. F. Hirst, in his presidential address to the Labour Party Conference at Scarboi'ough, said: “We are on the threshold of a battle in which the world will witness an army of workers opposed to those hosts which denied them their privilege and interests under Socialisms, the erstwhile champions of Labour which lost its leaders because they refused to lose their own •. soul. The Labour Government fell because it refused to be blackmailed into sacrificing the position of the unemployed. “A tariff was unthinkable, and 'not only hampered trade recovery, but further increased the cost of living.”
