"NOT PLAYED OUT."
BETTER DAYS IN BRITAIN. ATTACK ON MR. LLOYD GEORGE. A. and N.Z. LONDON. Oct. 6. Speaking at the conference of the. Con servative Party, the Prime Minister, Mr. Baldwin, said during his tour of Canada he laid the ghost of the insidious propaganda suggesting that Britain was played out. The dazzling genius who led the Liberals had been endeavouring for five years to place a torpedo in the Conservative Party's vitals, but he was unable to practise complete immersion. Either his periscope or wash was always visible and Mr. Baldwin said he knew where to expect it. Mr. Lloyd George had been very angry when Mr. Winston Churchill recently said British industry was again in full swing. Mr. Lloyd George had referred to Mr. Churchill's light-headedness and said the position was too serious for joking. Sir Eric Geddes. whom Mr Lloyd George chose for " the Ministry of all talents," would never bandy jokes about industry, and he said trade conditions were hopeful. Mr. Baldwin welcomed the new note in the Trade Union Congress speeches, particularly the declaration of faith in industrial consultation. He was glad to know Mr. Ben Turner was a friend of industrial peace.
