SUPPORT FOR BALDWIN
UNITED EMPIRE PARTY SPLIT PREDICTED CONSERVATIVES’ VIEW Reed. 9 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. The Hon. J. C. C. Davidson, chairman of the Conservative Party, gives as his opinion that the United Empire Party will split, and that the antiSocialist vote will sound the death knell of safeguarding. He adds that resolutions of confidence in Mr. Stanley Baldwin are pouring in from all parts of the country. The “Sunday Times” says that Lord Beaverbrook’s action looks like the finest gift an anti-Socialist could make to Socialism. The country has given repeated proofs that it will not have taxes on imported foods, nor will the Dominions forgo their tariffs. The United Empire Party can only take votes from the parties opposed to Socialism. If Socialism triumphs, not only England but the Empire is endangered. It would be a strange day’s work for the party that started ostensibly in the interests of the Empire.
