CONSERVATIVES USE HOUR OF DEPRESSION

ADVICE TO MINERS. TO CONSIGN LEADERS TO TRADITIONAL PLACE, United Press Association—By Electrin Telegraph—Copyright. Received Monday, 1 a.m. I LONDON, Jan. 5. The government had planted many seeds, said Mr. Baldwin in a speech at Worcester, the fruits of which would only be enjoyed in future years. • One of its best movements was an effort to produce peaeo in industry, which should do much to restore British industrial Supremacy. Tho nationalisation of industry should rescue distressed industries and produce a lasting benefit. The success of the Socialists in the 1929 elections, or a deadlock, resulting in the installation of a minority government, would retard the country 's recovery, especially if Labour attempted to control banking.

Lady Houston in a New Year’s m6ssago to the miners, says: “It seems clear your present plight is due tu mischievous men who pretended to bt your leaders but really were not fit to black your boots —those who urged you to strike in the groat strike of 1926. You are to-day suffering from what happened then; therefore my advice to all of you is to think for yourselves. Let your New Year resolution be to send them to that traditional /place to which all bad men go.” * Sho urged the miners to vote for' tariff reform as the only remedy for unemployment.
