Mr. Churchill and the Unionists Mr. Churchill, with the consent

of Mr. Baldwin, has retired from the " Business Committee " of the Unionist Party. They have exchanged very friendly letters, but Mr. Baldwin said plainly that he thought Mr. Churchill's resignation was right in the circumstances. This is the sequel to Mr. Churchill's disagreement with his Party on Indian policy. Mr. Churchill promises to give Mr. Baldwin all his help in trying to turn out the present Government. He will continue to sit on the Opposition front bench.
