NEWS OF THE WEEK
SINCE we last wrote the Prime Minister has delivered two speeches—the first at Birmingham, on Thurs- day, March 5th, and the second and more notable one in the House of Commons on Friday, March 6th—which have .made a difference to the whole tone of political life, to the prospects of the Unionist Party, and to the position of the Prime Minister himself. Mr. Baldwin has at last con- veyed to the nation in more moving and telling language than he had ever commanded before the thoughts that have long been inspiring him. He is now launched upon nothing less than a definite attempt to establish through- out British industry conciliation, mutual tolerance and helpfulness, and a common desire to face the problems of the new age in a frank spirit of fellowship.
