“SAFETY FIRST” SLOGAN
DID CONSERVATIVES CHOOSE WELL CHURCHILL ON DEFEAT (Australian and N.Z . Press Association) Reed. 11 a.m. LONDON, Wednesday. “Was the slogan, ‘Safety First,’ well chosen?" asks Mr. Winston Churchill, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, in an article in “John Bull” on “Why We Lost.” Mr. Churchill attributes the defeat to three causes—firstly, a natural desire for a change after four and a-half years' steady but unexciting adminis-
tration; secondly, the prolonged campaign of disparagement of the Baldwin Government by the popular Press; thirdly, the cold-blooded use of the Lloyd George Fund for the sabotage of as many Conservative seats as possible, irrespective of the immediate interests of Liberalism. He adds: “I set forth these, not in complaint or recrimination, but as matters indisputable as historical fact”.
