London. Nov. II.
Though the main issues OF the CAM
raign are quieting down over the week
end, minor meetings. are being enlivened
by apparently organized efforts to break
UP all except labor meetings. Every
speaker from Lady Astor in Plymouth
to Winston ChurchilPs lieutenants in
Dundee reports the presence at meet
ings of men who do not seek to heckle
in the usual manner, but shout foolish
questions in such manner that the
speaker not only cannot answer them
lut cannot even speak. Many instances
of this have been met by a vigorous
counter move.
One speaker who has been addressing
meetings in behalf of a friend in the
Liverpool district. after two unfortunate
experiences organized his own band of
roughnecks. He instructed them on a

turbers out, but to send them to the
hospital. This happened at two meet
ings, and since then this particular
speaker has not been troubled. Though

time British elections. the newcomers In
sst that they won't go nowadays. and
charge that the attempts to break up
meetings are made by the Communists.

other way.
Mr.. Churchill signalized his return 10
the platform to-day by speaking from
an arm chair at Dundee. He declared
that his famous memorandum Of Sep
-tember 16 kept the Turk from Europe
then. and he hoped the present Govern
ment would achieve the same result by
sticking firmly to It's declarations.
The news from the East is extremely
slim. though it Is reported that the ca
bles have been restored. Churchill like
Wise plainly restated that the Balfour
note theory regarding debts came at the
moment when the Reparations Commits
sion returned from Berlin reporting
failure.
'T do not see any reason why the
Germans should not pay f2,500. 100000
at the rate of f125, 1000, 900 a year." said
Mr.. Churchill, but / disagree. with AS
quith in his declaration that we ought
to let off the debtors while paying the
American debt"
