Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, Dec. 16. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, in a public speech contrasted the condition of the country in 1931 and to-day. He said there had been a wonderful change and the reduction of unemployment had been very remarkable.

“This Christmas there will be 600,000 homes more than two years ago in which the breadwinner is in regular work,” Mr. Chamberlain said.' No member of the Government these days can possibly be complacent, although I see no reason to be ashamed of expressing satisfaction at the successful results of our efforts.". After expressing the view that the time had not yet come for a return to party politics, Mr. Chamberlain said: “Since we have been in office the improvement in trade has marched step by step with confidence and it is most important that we should do nothing .to instil into men’s minds the idea that our policy is likely to be changed.”
