BACK TO POLITICS
LORD SNOWDEN'S DETERMINATION NATIONAL GOVERNMENT DENOUNCED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 11. Viscount Snowden, in an article in tho ‘ Daily Mail,’ has announced that he is returning to politics, and will serve independently the causes in which he believes. Viscount Snowden asserts: “Mr MacDonald has become a mere Tory instrument. The national situation was never more critical or more menacing, and the call for action was never more imperative. Vast numbers are losing faith in Parliament.
“ The National Government’s sole concern,” he states, “is to remain in office. It is obsessed with conceit, and a belief in its own indispensability, while tens of thousands of unemployed for years have sunk into a state of helplessness, despair, and appalling physical deterioration. These derelict areas are breeding grounds for Communism and revolutionary activities. Restlessness to-day is widespread and also includes the middle salary-earning classes. “Mr MacDonald’s vanity, weakness, and incoherence will he Britain’s undoing if he remains in office.”
