Tories ‘can pull country out


of morass’—MP


CLITHEROE Division MP Mr David Walder launched a searing attack on the Government in a speech at the Clitheroe Conservative Association’s


annual meeting


Clitheroe Conservative Club on Friday that the Conser­ vative by-election win at Ilford the previous day had been most heartening and he looked forward to the next General Election.


He told a large audience at


and as soon as possible, is a party in power with a clear mandate from the people to pull us out of the morass into which we are sinking under each successive year of Socialism,” he said.


“What the country needs A Conservative victory,


said Mr Walder, would mean a chance for the country’s recovery.

period up to the next elec­ tion the Labour party would create a “smoke screen” to disguise its poor record on increased unemployment and taxes.


Meanwhile, if the Conser-


v a t iv e s ta lk ed about controversial issues such as law and order, immigration, education, or defence, Mr Callaghan and his ministers would raise their hands in horror and say the Tories were trying to make political capital out of these issues.


“This is monstrous arro­ gance,” said Mr Walder.


■ “Political issues are not made by politicians but by the people — if they are worried or concerned it is up to politicians and particu­ larly the Government, to provide answers and solu­ tions.”


During the meeting a.


presentation was made to' former Clitheroe Conserva­ tive agent Mr Doug Robin­ son, by association chairman Mr James Rawson.


Mr Rawson praised Mr Robinson — currently chief Conservative agent in Liverpool — for his work in Clitheroe, particularly his successes in two General Elections and local govern­ ment polls.


The Conservative Co­


agent for the North West, Mr David Smith, also addressed the meeting. He paid tribute to the work of the Clitheroe Conservative Association and thanked members for their financial support to central party funds.
