BALDWIN PLEADS .FOR HIGH TARIFF l
Premier Declares Unemployed Army Threatens National
 Welfare
By CHARLES M. M'CANN (Leased Wire To Age-Herald.)

LONDON, Nov. 19.-With a gloomy warning of the critical ills that threaten the welfare of England, un- ton of unemployed, Premier Stanley Baldwin has opened his election cam paign on a platform of tariff pro- tection.
 Protection of British industries. the premier said in his opening speech Monday, was vital to the nation.
 "The prescription on which I shall speak, Baldwin said, lis keep the home fires burning.
 "The issue is unemployment and nothing else, Unless something is done to give hope to the young of this country. everything is lost"
 Baldwin said the debac1e in world trade had hit England harder than any other country. England had survived previous economic slumps, he said, because the world had been normal, but the world is abnormal today" he said, and the implication was not lost upon his hearers.
 See No Hope Of Normnlcy.
 The premier declared, moreover, that there is no hope of Europe be- ing restored to normal conditions Tn the near future" He was not con- tent, III lHe HiedAlAile, Ao SdlH, " watch our industries crippled by the countries which are entrenched be- hind prohibitive tariff, or. because of the condition of foreign currenctes are able to undercut English prices.
 Baldwin engaged in bitter sally at Lloyd George. He said Lloyd Georges speech at Northampton Sat urday, when the ex-premier ridi- culed the government, demonstrated "a reversion of type."
 "Lloyd George lost the last .clec- tion because his countrymen had ceased to treat him. He will not re- cover their trust by such speeches as thatn Baldwin asserted.
