ELECTION IN BRITAIN.
LEADERS MAKE SPEECHES. AMUSING EXPERIENCES. Australian Press Association—United Service (Received April CO. 12.15 a.m.) LONDON. April 10. The headquarters of the political parties have suddenly realised the value of gramophone records in electioneering. Their effects are more, permanent than wireless or the talkies. The Labour Party first exploited the idea, although Mr. J. E. Macdonald, in the recording room, admitted that he would rather take part in a duet with Will Fyffe, the Scottish comedian, than address the microphouo upon world pea<?e Mr. Lloyd George was seized with a fit of nervousness and announced that he would never record again all his life He would rather face 1,000,000 electors in the flesh. Mr. Baldwin, hearing that his rivals had submitted to the ordeal, hurried to follow their example. Sir William Joyn-son-Hicks, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Sir Herbert Samuel, Mr. Philip Snowden. Mr. J. H. Thomas and Miss Margaret Bondfield have also recorded aspects of current politics.
