CONSERVATIVE POLICY
IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY'MR BALDWIN Australian Press Association.—United Service. LONDON, 4th August. An statement of policy is contained in a letter by Mr Baldwin to Mr B. M. Hyres-Monsell. It says “The safeguaraiilg of industries has been the Taw of the land since it was established* as a principle by the Lloyd George Government in 1921. It was our policy at the last General Election, and will be continued, but we shall continue to be pledged not to introduce protection and not to imposeany taxes on food. A careful examination of the administration of the Safeguarding Act based on four years’ experience may enable simplification of certain details of procedure. No manufacturing industry will be barred from presenting its case before the appointed tribunal. While the energy of the party will be necessary to carry through the derating scheme, the boldness • and originality of which have captured the imagination of the country, doubtless the reason Avhy the Opposition parties are trying to drag in the protectionist red herring ds the vain hope of' causing dissension in the party whose unity and enthusiasm arouse their envious admiration.”-
