NOT REALLY NEBULOUS

BIACDONALD MANIFESTO '&* TALK OF TORY TARIFF Dnitei) Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, 7th October. "Despite appearances, Mr. , Kamsay Mac Donald's programme is not really nebulous," states "The Times." "He himself is a symbol that the Nationalist forces will not be dissipated in internecine quarrels. "The decision to hold an election means that all parties supporting the Government have realised the overwhelming importance of crushingly defeating the Socialists. Nothing less can reassure the world that Britain means to face her difficulties. "It is for the constituencies to complete the work that Cabinet has begun and choose candidates who are not fiscal fanatics on either side. "The election decision has relieved business circles, stimulated the giltedged market, and caused the recovery of sterling. The! orders received by the Yorkshire textile industry since the lapse of the gold standard total millions of pounds and ensure work for thousands of operators well into 1932, and the outlook is tho' brightest for years. There is talk of a similar revival in the South Wales coalfields." A contrasting opinion is supplied by the "Manchester Guardian," which declares that the election decision is merely "a device to enable the Tories to introduce a permanent system of high tariffs."
