i'll. Speaking in London today Mr..
Churchill declared that there had
been no need to act with such pre-
cipitation. A tactful and wise policy
carried out by experienced statesmen
would have led to the United States
being brought into some general
scheme of European settlement, so
that Great Britain would not have
been in the position of the only ma
ton compelled to pay.
Mr.. Churchill is still distinguished
as being the most heckled among the
leaders. He is the object of persist
ent and vitrolic attacks and inter-
ruptions by the laborites. who make
it a point always to invade his meet
.ngs.
The prime minister delivered his
last important speech of the cam
paign at Liverpool tonight at a big
assembly. He declared: Il have APP
pealed to the country for a mandate,
and if | get it l shall exercise it to
the full"
He reproached the Liberal leaders
the question of the policy of dis
elimination against British ships
which sis threatened from all over
the world" and asserted that the
British ideal for shipping was equal
ity of opportunity in all parts of the
world"
Continuing, Mr.. Baldwin said, 1--WE
are told that protection will ruin our
industries, but how is it that the
United States has exploited her i'm
mense natural resources during gen.
erations of protection. until today she
sustains a population Of over one
hundred million, with the highest
standard of life achieved in the
world?
II want to treat the foreigner as
he treats us, until he learns to treat
us little better"
Asserting that it was not intended
to tax simple articles of food, or raw
materials. the prime minister went on:
II propose to put a tax on, manufac-
tured goods in all cases where the i'm
portation of those goods is throwing
our men out of work-a tax sufficient
to meet the unfair advantage that the
foreigner gets from currency and
wages, so that our people may have a
fair chance of competing and finding a
livelihood"
