BRITISH POLITICS.

Press Association. —Copyright. Received February 9, 6.30 p.m. London, February 8. Mr Dickinson’s Bill to abolish plural voting in London, providing continuity of register in the case of removal from one district to another, and to extend the hours of polling, was talked out. Mr Winston Churchill, addressing the League of Young Liberals, said the greatest problem of an Empire was at homo, namely, the condition of the people. The problem of _ the unemployment was the Achilles’ Heel of civilisation. Socialists and tariff! tes fastened thereon like greedy vulture!, hoping to be carried into power. He was not prepared to say that all men should have everything until everybody had something. The trend of the Liberal policy must be to increasingly build the minimum standard of life and labour. To provide that, about a certain level of decent comfort, competition must be free, but below tnat level no one would be permitted to labour.
