the year. Ramsay MacDonald and
Lloyd George have been particu
larly bitter in their criticism of
the present government. But de
mands that he retire tobvio jily
have been wasted on the imper
turbable Baldwin. With the Con
servatives holding a substantial
majority in the Commons, it is not
expected that the Premier volun
tarily will leave his duties for a
long time.
The Baldwin government has
made its way through a stormy
passage *incc the Prime Minister
observed his GOth birthday a year
ago. The so-called "flapper” bill
extending the franchise to young
er women raised a heavy parlia
mentary storm. Though Baldwin
personally supported the revised
Prayer 'Book bill, the rejection of
the measure and th? religious de
bate involved were signifhant pre
ceding an election year. The gov
ernment’s “safe-guarding indus
try'’ measures, which the oppo
sition termed "back door protec
tionism,” produced bitter attacks
on the floor of the House of Com
mons. . .
Taxation Scheme Attacked. ,
^ The caustic tongue of Sir Philip
'Snowden, former Chancellor of the
Exchequer, has been <U**et e d
ch'pfly against the govenment’s
taxing proposals, or taxation
scheme, which Labor declared ds-
signed to aid “Big Business” at
the expense of smaller interests.
Th? government's action in taking
over the “Tote” biP to ensure Its
passage after the bill »was defeat
ed in the House caused more than
a political ripple/ The bill js de
signed to legalize the totalizator,
or betting machine at racing me?t-
ings.
The placid—and popular~Pre-
mier has difficulty at times in re
straining the more tiery members
of his €fi:in:t. Lord Birkenhead,
Winston Churchill, and Sir Austen
Chamberlain are apt to develop
into fire eaters under pressure of
hot parliamcntray debat?. There
has been no marked dimension
within the rank and file' of the
Tory party, which is probably
largely due to Baldwin's populari
ty with the electorate.
The Prime Minister’s retreat
from the cares of public life is
found in “Chequers,” a beautiful
country hom? near Stourport,
Buckinghamshire, in the Severn
valley. It is here that the poli
tician becomes a farmer. Pigs arc
his chief d?light, and he raiser,
porkers for the local market.
Mrs. Baldwin is active in worn-
’s politics, and is in frequent de
mand ns a speaker at Tory gather
ings. She takes great interest in
her husband’s empaign.
