By Telegraph—Pres? Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON. December 15.
At the Unionist Association meeting Lady Astor was howled down while supporting n resolution urging a cam paign against Socialist propaganda. She declared that the first antidote to Socialism was housing, and said that what was wrong with the Conservatives
was that they did not realise that while they occupied two or more houses they failed to regard the position of those who lived in two rooms. How con Id they, she asked, blame some school teachers for teaching Socialism when they did not pay the teachers living wages? When continuous interruption ensued. Lady Astor retorted. “ You’re worse than the Labour Party.
It is uncomfortable to be howled down at one’s own party meeting.”
