“HARD THING TO DRIVE.”
Mr Baldwin’s Confession. SIDELIGHT ON RECENT INCIDENT. (United Press AuoclltlM —By Elictrii Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received February 27, 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 27. Mr Baldwin amusingly referred to the Government's Irish loyalists surrender in a speech at the Worcestershire Association’s dinner, at which Mr Churchill was the principal guest. Mr Baldwin said he had learned very enrly that a Worcestershire man could not be “druv.” Mr Churchill knew. The same was true of Lord Oxford’ 3 ire.” The other day we found ourselves, side' by side, in the House of Commons, which was in a mood, which recalled to us, some of the peculiarities of the people amongst whom we had been brought up. I remembered the words of an old drover who was experiencing more than usual difficulty in getting his pigs along the road to market, namely : A hard thing to drive when there are many of them, is the pig. I whispered that to Mr Churchill, and we surrendered.”
