Amery, scc- retary for the dominions in: the last government, a noted imperialist, speaking at Derby last night said he regretted Lord Beaverbrook's deci- sion to launch the party because he saw a danger of struggles for can- didatures, weakening the Conserva- tives themselves in the fight against the common foe or Free Trade sup- eristition.
