MR. SfTANLEY BALDWIN DISCUSSES FASCISM REGOTTEN OF COMMUNISM Rugby, Nov. 24. "Fascism," said Mr. Stanley Baldwin In t.bp House of Commons, ' is

begotten of Communism out of civil discord. Whenever you get Communism and civil discord you get Fascism. You have seen it in Italy, and yon have seen it in Germany, but my finn conviction is that you^will never see either in this country." _ Mr. Baldwin was replying m the debate on the address to the Throne to the representations from Conservative members that th'e powers an constitution of the House of Lor s should he amended as ^ a precaution against possible revolutionary Socia - ist schemes. . . Having expressed the conviction that the House of Commons would never consent to pnt the House o Lords in a position of equali y or superiority to itself, h'e agreed there was much to be said for some m of reform of the House of Lords— for instance, equality of representation there of all parties. The pper Chamber he thought too large, aua it was not good that it should large y represent only oue point of ^ viey • In regard to the suggestion that the House of Lords should be strengthened as a bulwark against a dictatorship, he said he had pre y clear views of his own as to what would happen if any man in Bri ain were rash enough to attemp o create a dictatorship. He expressed the conviction that Britain wou mever see a dictatorship eithei rom th'e Right or Left.
