In a letter to the Times of Wednesday Dr. Arthur

Shadwell, who is an exceedingly good judge and a very sympathetic and learned student of Labour affairs, says that there is a regular campaign among Labour leaders to advance their cause by deliberate and systematic vilifi- cation of the Prime Minister. The facts certainly fit in with the belief that there is such a campaign. What madness it all is ! The present generation has known no better opportunity than there is now for the two sides in industry, with the benevolent help of the Government, to get together and carry on their affairs amicably for the enrichment of both. Neither side will ever have a better or wiser helper than Mr. Baldwin. The malice of a large part of Labour and the obscurantism of some employers provoke us to dismay.
