Tells 81 Success.
There was an enthusiastic DEM
favorable to the working mon.
peared upon the floor Of the Labor
party conference. He outlined the
successes of the Laborite govern
ment, adding:
1--WE did not hope to create a
new world out Of our imagination.
But we do believe that the old
world is beginning to show q new
response to a newly created spirit,
! think We have succeeded in that. !"
Macdonald declared that British
unemployment had been lessened
and that the budget Is now more
favorable to hte working man.
The next budget, he said. would
be even more favorable. He praised
the Dawes PREPARATION plan, saying
e gave the necessary machinery
to bring us back to WISDOM" The
premier was without illusion and
warned that there are still troubled
waters ahead.
After attacking communism he
turned to the Liberals, declaring
that former Premier III. II. Asuuith's
speech indicated that the Liberals
expected the Laborites TO eat ,i,it

The Liberals inquiry motion. the
Premier charged, was conceived In
a spirit Of medieval crookedness and
torture" He continued:
But we shall surrender nothing.
II there is an election, responsibility
Tor it will not be upon us. It will
have been caused by abuse Of par
liamentary votes. Every Labor sup
porter will resent this chicanery.
1t will make out victories at the polls
more numerous. When 1t is time
for the government to dissolve the
thousands gathered here will re-
turn to their posts, not to defend.
but to attack our enemies"
The confere ce unanimously
adopted resolution endorsing the
premier's decision to oppose both
the Tory motion of censure and the
Liberal motion for an inquiry into
the withdrawal of prosecution
against the communist editor.
