NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
ENVY or THE WORLD I British Official Wirelaaa. ] RUGBY, May 5. Mr. Stanley Baldwin at a Conservative demonstration in London, discussing the necessity for the Conservative Party continuing its work in the Na tional Government, said the Govern ment without national backing could not have undertaken the solving of recent great domestic problems, which demanded drastic measures involving heavy burdens on all sections of the community. In eighteen strenuous months, work had been done which would have taken three years at least under the system of party government, if then it could have been accomplished. They had now reached a stage when further progress at Home depended on international consultations, and the nations of the world were meeting on June 12, when problems of world trade, currency, and other big questions were to be examined, and, if possible, solu tions found. The times were difficult and in some ways dangerous. So far the wonderful spirit of the nation had carried them through in safety, ana He had every confidence that the same spirit would persist to the end and would help to carry other nations with them. The existence of the National Government was just as important in these big international matters as it had been in those already faced at Home. Statesmen in other countries looked with envy on the fact that the British Government could carry on its work without risks of political convulsion. For some time yet this form of coalition in Britain was necessary in the inter••te of this country and the world.
