One wonders wliero Air. Awhery gets his In 1031 tho


cx|)ort of piece goods was 1,1)03.500.000 .'•quare yards. |f this i' a decrease then the hatli-Wiiter must come up the plug-hole. .As a result of quotas on the importation


of cotton good' into our Colonial dependon- eirs. Lritish c*xports nf cotton piece goods to these <omitri(*s has been doubled com­ pared with the first and fourth quarters of 11)31.


It would also ho interesting to know


the source of his figures on unemployjnent. In actual fact since August. 1031. the total nmriher of persons in emplovment has in­ creased by 0.57.000. whil't from 1020 to 1031 when the Socijdi'ts wore in offieo there was a net decrease in employment nf 1,10?.075. ’The statement that the National (Jovern- ment only pays “ lip service ’’ to tlie T,eagne


of Nations and tliat tliey would he pleased to see its demise is not true. Tho Lrimo Alinister. Air. Stanley Laldwin, lias stated time ,'ind time again that this country stands by the League of Nations. The appointment of Air. Anthony TMen to a position in the Lritlsh Caliinot a> a direct rein-esentative from the Government to the League of Nations gives tliis statement tlio lie direct. To make political capital out nf the question of peace or war savours of that hypocrisy, misrepi’csentation ami loath­ some tneties whieh Air. Aivhery is so fond nf nserihing to others.


Ale. Laldwin was justified in his state­


ment that lie is not a good performer on the big drum. Lnt one of the reasons why Mr. Laldwin liolds a place in popular esteem in thi'« country is that his sincoritv and fair­ ness are beyond qno‘*tion.


ITtunatoly too I uonder if Air. Awhery lias over


jinnsed to consider for one moment what caused tliat panic, confusion and hewilder- fent. Tlie Sociali.st Government had so mismanaged the finances of tlic country tliat it luul brouglit it to tlic verge of bank- rutey.


It had poured out millions of money


in fancy sehemos, created a financial crisis, and increased nncmployment by over l.OOO.ODO., Js it any wonder tlicro was howilderment and panic? The electors maile no mistake, they showed by their votes wliat tiiey thought of tlio Sociali‘‘ts who had .shown Midi incompetence.


the facts speak for themselves, and tlio acliiovcments of tlie present Government are more eloquent than any theoretical argii- moiits for or agniii't it. This week lias seen tlie removal of the last traces of tho great depression. We liavc reached an end of tho salary cuts. There are a milliou more poojile in wi»rk than when tho Govern­ ment started. Slum eleaianee and re­ housing are taking place at such a rate that it is not worth while to make any (•ompai ison with provious figures, ami con- sirueiive housing reform may almost he said tn liavc lu’gu.M with liu- pre'(*ut Government. The residts of its commercial policy are clearly soon in the progressive improvement ill our trade ffgures and in the resumption of Lritain’s* place at the head of tiie ex­ porting countries of the world. These tilings, as Mr. Laldwin said, aro a


It is a well-


known and a perfectly true saying that no Government is elected; tho people reject that whicli they do not want, so the Socialists wore turned out with a majority unequalled in political history.

Pendle Junior School Outing.


On Saturday la^t. a party of fifty-throo


scholar', accompanied by tho headmaster anti several incinbcrs of the staff, enjoyed their annual outing. Leaving CTithoroo by tho 8-7 a.m. train, the party travelled by reserved coach to Chc-ster, arriving at 10*30. There they were met by Air. Garnett, Assistant County Commissioner for tho C’heshire Coy Scouts, under whose excellent


guidance a most intcreating morning was spent seeing am! hearing of the siglits of Chester. After lunch, much to tho chil­ dren’s delight, the party pi’occcded by launch up the Liver Deo to the Iron Lridge, a distance of seven miles. From there the Fcjholars walked through '.the grounds of JCaton Hall to Kccleston Ferry, and returned to Chester by boat. A very appetising tea was awaiting them in one of the cafes there, and every member of the party did justice to it. Shopping ocenpicci the remaining part of tiio visit. No one at home had been forgotten, as could be seen on the letnrn journey. Tho number of new auto­ graph albums was rather outfacing.
