BRITISH POLITICS.
SPEECH BY MR. CHURCHILL
United Press Association —Copyright (Received Jan. 24, 10.10 pirn.) LONDON, Jan. 24. Mr. Churchill, speaking at 'Manchester, condemned the cattle-driv-ing tomfoolery in Ireland as deplorable, disreputable, and -utterly foolish. He stated old age -pension's- to. be -the chief business this session. He rejoiced -in the reunion of the Irish party, and stated that the Government’s naval proposals, without being truculent, should -prove adequate to secure effective protection. Britain’s ability to build far quicker than any two or three other Powers put together was recognised, while they were prepared to go a long way towards establishing the minimumstandard of life. He was confident that any attempt -to replace the existing organisation of society by official hierarchy, -such as the Socialists contemplated, would end in failure.
