BRITISH CONSERVATIVES
NEXT ELECTION PLANS.
SOCIALISM THE ALTERNATIVE.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 8.30 p.m.) LONDON. Oct. 16.
At the annual conference of the National Unionist Association, which is to meet next week, a motion will be submitted suggesting the abolition of the title Unionist in view of its lost significance, and the substitution of the term Conservative. Another motion proposes that every constituency in the kingdom be contested at the next general election, a central fund to be created for the purpose. The association's annual report asks belittlers of the present Government to consider the alternatives. Asquithian Liberals, whose left wing inclines increasingly toward Socialism, has the discredited policy of taxing land, and proposes not to act against foreign dumping, and Socialism has now openly, revealed its mastership of the Labour Party machine. It is the Unionist Party's duty to protect trades unionism from this insidious attack and to ensure to those seeking the advancement of their craft that its interests will not be used to exploit political j extremism, which the majority have not asked for and do not desire.
Viscount Curzon, M.P., will invite. the party to declare that the peace and prosperity of Britain can only be based upon an intimate and cordial understanding with France and her other Allies in the Great War.
