He admitted he would rather take part in a duct with Will Fyffo, tho Scottish cqmediun, than address the microphone upon world peace. Mr. Lloyd Georgo said he was B6izod with a fit of nerves and said ho would never record again as long as ho lived. He would rather face a million electors in the flesh. Mr. Baldwin, hearing that his rivals had submitted to the ordeal, hurried to follow their examplo. Sir W. Joynson-Hicks, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Mr. A. Samuel, Mr. P. Snowden Mr. J. H.
