CONSERVATIVE PARTY APPEAL TO LIBERALS
NZPA—Copyright LONDON, Sept 25. The chairman of the Conservative Party Lord Woolton, speaking at St. Austell, Cornwall, invited rank-and-file Liberals, to join the Conservatives in ousting the Labour Government. “ Whatever the party leaders may decide,” Lord Woolton said, “no man who believes in Liberalism can support the Socialist proposals to nationalise steel, cement, sugar, and industrial insurance. Once we have learned the folly of trusting our fate and national fortunes to our present leaders, Britain will rise again to her time-honoured position of leadership in world industry and commerce.” Of devaluation. Lord Woolton said if Sir Stafford Cripps were right he was much too late, and his judgment in July was “ deplorable and wrong.” It should be remembered, he said, that as a result of the actions of the last Socialist Goverment in 1931 a National Government had had to go off the gold standard, and even then the £'s value propped only 16 per cent.
