British Press Not
Supporting Labor
Party in Campaign

London. Oct. Fl (By A. p)-The
political campaign is settling itself
down to n rather tedious process of
descreditinG and belittling "the OPP
posing party" featured by an over
whelming flood of oratory.
Marquis Curzon entered the field
for the first time today with q speech
in London. AS natural to a foreign
minister. Lord Curzon devoted his
speech to denouncing the foreign
policies Of the labor government. es-
pecially the Russian treaty. which
he characterized as astonishing,
"humiliating" and "disgraceful.'
Premier MacDonalds health has
improved and he is again touring the
country in an active campaign.
There has been some rowdyism at
Bristol. Norwich and other places,
leading to the arrest of many dis
turbers.
The difficulty of forecasting the
outcome of the present appeal to
the country Is not diminished by the
fact that the government party lacks
any adequate representation in the
daily press.
This is particularly true in London
where only one small paper repre- =
sents labor.
Both Liberal and Labor parties are
beginning to feel the strain of the
annually recurring electionS. which
the Conservatives have a distinct ad-
vantage-the possession of almost in
exhaustible campaign funds.
The question of free trade has
cropped up in Lancashire, owing to
the fear of imposition Of duties on
cotton imports. The Manchester
Guardian warns Liberia; voters not to
be induced by the recently formed
pact to vote for Conservatives. be-
cause it insists that IL the Conserva-
tives are returned with an absolute
majority they will unquestionably
bring in some form of protection.
