The Bromley By-Election The campaign for the by-election at Bromley
might be staged almost just as it is for a comedy. Lord Rothermere's United Empire Party has put forward its own candidate, Mr. V. C. Redwood, in opposition to the Unionist candidate, and thus opposes the one Party which has the power to achieve what Lord Rothermere desires. Lord Beaverbrook, however, even more than Lord Rothermere, is the prophet of Empire Free Trade, which is the object of the United Empire Party. And what does Lord Beaverbrook do ? He has taken no active part in the campaign, but has pointed out that he does not belong to the United Empire Party. He is simply a " Crusader " for Empire Free Trade, whereas Lord Rothermere's beliefs are a faggot in which Empire Free Trade is only one stick. The Liberal candidate hopes to profit by all this Disunited Imperialism.
