Show Baldwin Has Ideas Stanley Baldwin, former Prime Minister of Great Britain, is in the United States for a week and he has infoflxatioa which will help the United States solve its problexe of unexiployment, labcr management relations and i tolitical action by .abcr groups. Now, this is what we call help fr'x! aorcss the ocean. If Mr. Baldwin Bald-win can solve the problems of the United States he will probably do mare fcr us than ctle !as able to do fcr his own country. It xjust be ad-'xitted, ad-'xitted, however, that the British ihave dene a better job in saxe respects re-spects than we have and so, it might be worth while, to listen to our visit-England, visit-England, soys Mr. Baldwin had oer crisis in 1924, when class feeling was fcigoi and the country was restless rest-less and undecided which: way to i.iurn. Tir.e general strike was the cul-mi.rJotion cul-mi.rJotion of a challenge to government govern-ment but it is.as a turning point, with both sides cd.ning out of the struggle without bitterness. Labor, he says, has come dcixn to the idea of working within a constitutional i pvernlxlent. Mr. Baldwin points out that the "political weapon is no longer being ill. L eaitened," tihlat the old die-hard ar)llcyer has been largely eliminated and that 'e could make ten times vhe progress of politics could be .Urinated frobn labor relations." Ti.tere is food for thought in Mr. Baldwin's ideals. He is, we suspect, a loyal Briton, having demonstrated his faith in his government by contributing con-tributing a part cf his personal "fortune "for-tune to the British government in ian effort tc help it solve its financial finan-cial problems saxe years ago. Not many Americans have been this patriotic. |
