“WHY WE LOST”
CHURCHILL ANALYSIS.
THREE PRIME REASONS
(Australian Press Assn. —United Service.) (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, June 12.
“Was the slogan 'Safety First’ well chosen?” asks Mr Winston Churchill in the course of an article in “John Bull” entitled ““Why we lost.” ■' ' .
• He attributes the Conservative Party’s defeat to three causes, the first being the natural desire for- a change . after four' and a half years of steady but unexciting administration; secondly, the prolonged campaign of disparagement of the Baldwin Government, by the popular press; and thirdly, the cold-bloodied use of the Lloyd George Fund for sabotage of many Conservative seats, possibly ir respective of the immediate interests of Liberalism.-- ' He adds: “I set forth these not in complaint or recrimination, but as matters of indisputable historical fact.”
