In Albert Hall on Saturday night, Rt. Hon. J. Ramsay MacDonald form- ally opened the Labor campaign and outlined his party's program. __ It. was an evening of Labor ex- ultation, It began with commun;- ty singing and followed by ad- dresses by gramophone and speech- es by five Labor candidates who were victorious in recent by-elec- tions. Mr. MacDonald himsen ; spoe 'for an hour and a half and the meeting closed with the. sing- ing of the "Red Flag." All those on the platform and about the front of the hall wore red rosettes. Miss Jenny Lee, the miner's daughter, who won the by- election in North Lanark, had her red rosette pinned to the brown suit in which she made her first bow to Mr. Speaker in the House of Commons a few days ago. Among the old Labor veterans she seemed very young and very much of a girl. .

GRAY COACH LINES Prince St. Oshawa Telephone 2825 challenged in a curiously vibrant voice, "not fearing those in power, but despising them." The crowd "Shouted its acclaim and she went: on to plead for aworkers ' state, '| "not the vulgar, shoddy thing our Tory and Liberal fiends have built up." There was also Mrs. Hugn Dalton, the other woman Labor victor, who carried Bishop Auck 'land. She declared that in Bishop Auckland 45 out of every 100 min- ers were out of work and spoe of men standing in crowds with noth- ing to do and of youths of 16 or 18 years of age who had never done a day's work in their lives. "Remember," she urged, starved, haggard faces of the mothers. There is no hope for these people until a Labor govern- ment has nationalized the mines." Scomns Opponents Mr. MacDonald, in his keynote speech, was as scornful of his communist left as of his Liberal and Conseravtive right. While he definitely placed unemployment measures in the forefront of the Labor program, he attacked Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George's pledge as something 'intended to startle the nation, but which would result in nothing more. "What about Lloyd George's other, pledges?" he asked. Haa Lloyd George made the Germans pay for the war? Had he squeez- ed them until "their pipes squeak- ed" as he promised? "I want to know this from the Baldwin government," Mr. Mac- Donald continued, "Have we now more than a million workers un- employed, wanting work and suf- fering because they have no work? Have we or have 'we not, ave we had that state of things during the whole lifetime of this govern- ment? Are these people to be left in destitution?" To the Conservative charges that the present employment conditions were a result of the general strike of 1926, the Labor chief returned that the way the government had handled the situation had made them more responsible for the general strike than anyone. He described the government as one of "patching and darning, but which could not make up its mind which color to patch." Dealing with empire migration, Mr. MacDonald said nothing effec- tive had been done since the fam- ily scheme had been concluded be- tween the Labor government and the Dominions in 1924, After four and a half years in office, he charged, the Baldwin government had not yet come to an agreement with the dominions. "If Labor were in office for four and a half years,"'he continu- ed, "and came with that story, I doubt if I should have the face to meet you." Asks Clear Issue Another thing the speaker want- ed to know from the government was whether safeguarding was pro- tection. "If safeguarding {is protection why doés Baldwin not come out?" he asked. 'If he is in favor of pro- 'the tection why does he mot help the farmer by applying to the farmer the same safeguarding as he has applied to buttons and lace? We want to get a clear issue on what is the government's policy regard- ing trade, because on that policy depends its policy of dealing in a most elementary way with unem- ployment." Turning to iuternational affairs, Mr. MacDonald said Labor stood for the recognition of Soviet Rus- sia. "We must," he added, "frankly accept arbitration as a solution for international disputes. We must again ,in particular, deal with that old, historical, war-created prob- lem, the freedom of the seas. And when we do it we must bring our minds and intelligences up-to-date. "The circumstances which made the freedom of the seas or at least the opposite of the freedom of the seas valuable to us, have gone. If they have not, we are not in a no- sition to enforce them. The ques- tion of freedom of the seas must be settled and an agreement with the United States reached on that point." At this point a fieckler interrupt ed and Mr. MacDonald paused. "You have as much brains as a glowworm," a gallery supporter shouted at the heckler. "My own country is so far bhe- hind," the Labor leader added, with evident reference to the prepara- tory disarmament commission. "that it never sees anything until somebody else sees it first, Call me an imperialist if you like, but I do want my own country to speak amongstthe first and to speak with a clear clarion note that will re- sound down through the succeea- ing ages." Who Will Succeed? (By homas 3. Champion) Milford Haven, Wales, April 29. ~The Liberals will neither coun- tenance nor encourage the idea ot the formation of a Labor govern- ment should the Conservatives be defeated in the general election Rt. Hon, David Lloyd George de- clared in a speech here on Saturday, The Liberal leader wanted to know whether in the event of his government being defeated, which he considered inevitable, Premier Wednesdav Half Holiday AGNEW - SURPASS SHOE STORES Simcoe St. S. Will close every Wednes- day afternoon during the Baldwin would advise the king to set up a Socialist administration, "If the Socialists are not in a m. jority, ag they certainly will not be,' 'he said, 'it depends entirely on Baldwin himself whether under these conditions they will be called upon to form a government, If they are sent for it will be entire- ly his doing. "If under these circumstances Mr, Baldwin advises his majesty that a Socialist prime minister should be his successor, we shall neither countenance nor encourage the idea, Speaking at Yarmouth I made clear what our attitude was. "The experiment was tried in 1924 and proved a disastrous fail- ure. We shall certainly not be re- sponsible or itg revival, But the more important question {is 'Will Baldwin be?' I have answered his question. Is he prepared to ans- wer mine? The country is un- doubtedly anti-Socialist. It would not be right for Mr. Baldwin to over-ride its wishes because of 'mere pique at his own rejection." SCOW SINKS AND MAN IS DROWNED Vessel Turned Over in Mysterious: Manner While Being Towed (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Port Colborne, April 29.--When a scow of the Canadian Dredging Company, which was being towed by the tug Grant mysteriously and without warning overturned in Lake Erie two miles east of Port Colborne, at 9 p.m., Friday, the life of William Stanbury, 22 years old, Exeter, Ont., man, was snuf- fed out. A desperate search with three tugs that lasted untjl after two o'clock this morning failed to rebeal the body, which may be pinned underneath the capsized scow which rests on the bottom. Preparations were being made this morning to take a tug . with all dragging equipment to the.spot this morning and if necessary to remain all day in an attempt: to find the unfortunate's body.

Small Boy--Africa. "Africa? What makes you think that?" " Cause we can see the moon and we can't see Africa."-- The Teacher, CHANCELLORSHIP IN AUSTRIA 1 VAGANT Prof. Mittelberger, Chris- tian Socialist, Unable to Form Cabinet Vienna, April 29.--The Chan- cellorship of Austria again went abegging Thusrday. Prof. Johann Mittelberger, a financial expert, who had been deputized by the Christian socialists to select a cabinet, confessed his inability to create a new Government and re- turned to his home in Vorarlberg Province. Professor Mittleberger has been financia adviser ,to Dr. Otto En- der, Governor of that province, and like him, has been opposed to the Pan-German"s aim of union with Germany, He is a member of the Christian Socialist par.y to which both Dr. Ender and the retiring chancellor, Mongignor Ignatz Sei- pel, also belonged, The Pan-Germans yesterday told the professsor that they did not like his opposition to the Union with Germany or his leanings toward the clericals, as represent- ed by Dr. Seipel. The agrarians also criticized his clericalism and irformed him bluntly that he had given on proof that he would be able to govern the 6,000,000 people of Austria. They compared this task with the fact that hith- 'erto he had only given financial advice to the governor of a prov- ince of 140,000 population. The agrarians also sald they were not satisfied that their principal de- mands would be fulfilled with the professor as Chancellor. Several Austrian newspapers de- clared yesterday that the situation was becoming ridiculous. They said that the Christian Socialists, hav- ing exhausted all eligi candi- dates among the professional poli- ticlans, were now going far outside of Vienna and turning to men who were scarcely known beyond their own province.
