Hon. Winston Churchill, chancellor of the excheq- uer. But Premier Stanley Baldwin says: I'lie nafion is in carnest over this clection. They want facts and argu- ment, not rhetoric." Whether the election is dull or not, the country has never before seen such a 'tidal wave of oratory, real or otherwise. Such floods of propaganda, such maneouvres and stunts to coax the hesitant vote, have never before been indulged in.

MacBrien add- ed, "There would 'seem to be no bet- ter way of gaining public sympathy than by bringing into our membership the many thousands of persons who have at least a passing interest in aviation.

Sir Henry was speaking in his own constituency at a meeting subsequently addressed by J. Ramsay MacDonald. "Whenever I, or any other Labor leader, point out that Lord Birken- head, Lord Carson and Sir William Joynson-Hicks organized or attempt- ed to organize an illegal and sedi tious mutiny in Ulster just before the war 'that is never feported in. any newspaper," he declared. "You will see whatever is reported tomorrow morning the fact will be omitted that as soon as we proposed to do some- thing in Ireland they did not like these men imported arms, organized an irregular army and the custodian of our peace and liberties, the pres- ent Home Secretary, shouted to them 'shoot and be damned." Sir 'Henry Slesser then described Lloyd George as an "ignorant gas- bag." "Premier Baldwin may have his faults," he said, "but he knows his Lloyd George. The one good work Baldwin ever did for his country was when he broke up that infamous coalition of hard-faced men and kicked Lloyd' George out of office."
