BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY
ATTITUDE OF CONSERVATIVES. WATCH UPON RUSSIAN RELATIONS. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, Sept. 27. Mr. S. Baldwin broke his political silence with a statement, issued from the Conservative headquarters, in which he said the Co-nseirvati've. adhered. to the tradition that criticism of the Government in foreign affairs must never be petty. Mr. Snowden, at The Hague, had benefited thereby. He was glad Mr. MacDonald was going to America, which had been his own intention if he were returned to power. He wished the Premier every success but, upon certain aspects of foreign policy, the Government must expect thorough discussion. For example there were Egypt, Palestine, Iraq and disarmament, and especially Russia. The Government must expect unqualified opposition unless Russia gave satisfactory guarantees respecting propaganda and intrigue. The Government’s real test would come when it was faced by domestic problems, for example, unemployment, pensions and miners’ hours.
