BRITISH CONSERVATIVES

SPEECH BY MR BALDWIN ADVICE TO SUPPORTERS Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 16. Mr Stanley Baldwin, speaking at Derbyshire, appealed for patience with regard to the Government’s agricultural policy. Ho claimed success where wheat was concerned. On the_ contrary, meat was a far more difficult problem. The mutton and lamb problem had been solved, but despite quotas permanent success had not attended the attempts to raise beef prices. They must come to an agreement shortly owing to the Ottawa agreements expiring at the end of the month, and, whether successful or otherwise, they must go to the House of Commons and stand the racket, hut they must hope for success.

Referring to Fascism, he appealed to the Conservatives not impatiently to leave their own party and join a new one, thereby threatening the united vote which would be so essential at the next election. He added: “ Since Fascism has become more active, Communists have also increased, partly due to the fact that Englishmen, when they see a fight, always rush to assist the smaller side. If the country is divided by private armies aiming at the suppression of opinion by force, there will be all the material for.civil war, though we are a long way from it.”
