BRITISH POLITICS.

SPEECH BY MR CHURCHJLL

London, October 4

Mr Winston Churchill, speaking at. Dundee, declared that England wished to see the Moroccan question settled once and for all. He attributed the. labour unrest largely to a rise in food prices during the last fifteen years and tho failure of wages to advance proportionately. The rise was due to the enormously increased output of gold. A sovereign would buy less clothing and food. While prices were easily raised to meet now conditions, wages moved very slowly and jerkily, and often only after fierce quarrels between employers and employed. Ho personally favoured the nationalisation of railways. Owing to their responsibilities to the public, railwaymen did not enjoy the full power of collective bargaining. Parliament must, therefore, see that they were not losers on flu’s account. The Government would stake its existence on the passage of the Insurance Bill this year, despite the intrigues of Tory wire-pullers and tho open hostility of the Social party. Tie sharply criticised Sir Edward Carson’s Ulster campaign.
