SARY
(lloooiyod April 10, 5.40 p.m.) LONDON. April 10. J'r Thoinns. M.F., addressing the rniiuaymon, said th:>t some sections in Britain welcomed .Mr Hughes as a heaven-sent angel.' It was largely a poli'/.'ienl dodge. There was a dsui'ger of his being made a tool by the Tariff Reform uarty. Many now lauding him would not accept*his policy of an eight-hour day ;ind old-age pensions. Tiuj wei-o significantly silent on theso matters. In addition to a. political truce they must have an industrial truce. The workers had made splendid sacrifices lor the sake of,the war, but this must not be made a'lever for the oppression of the workers after the war.
