He says, in effect : " We Unionists are, humanly
speak- ing, likely to be in power for some years. We have a great majority. It is absolutely untrue that we want to use it oppressively. If there are to be hostilities between class and class, between employer and employed, the first shot will not be fired by us. We want comradeship. We want the speedy restoration of our common fortunes in this land that is loved by us all. The General Election showed that Socialism is a vision in the distance. Are we really to cherish during the next few years bitterness and hatred which are not only. wrong in themselves but will prevent the achievement of the greatly improved conditions of life that are actually attainable ? " Before these lines are published . ublished Mr. Baldwin, we understand, will have followed up the two speeches to which we have referred with a third.. We have not space to examine the speeches in detail, but the two delivered so far are well worth most . careful reading. The sincere good wishes of every UniOnist Who places national above party interests go 401 with Mr. Baldwin.
