THRESHOLD OF BATTLE
ARMY OF WORKERS "HOSTS OF PRIVILEGE" (Received 6th October, 10 a.m.) LONDON, sth October. Mr. Stanley Hirst, in his presidential address at tho Labour Party Conference at Scarborough, said: — We are on the threshhold of a battlo in which the world will witness the army of the workers opposed to the hosts of privilege and vested interests under Socialism's erstwhile champion. Labour has lost its leaders because it refused to lose its own soul. The Labour Government fell because it refused to be blackmailed into sacrificing the position of the unemployed. A tariff is unthinkable. It would not only hamper trade recovery, but further increase the cost of living.
