Jolivered at the luncheon given on 'l‘uesday to the Australian’ cricketers. Mr. Baldwin wprned the English selectors not ti be‘ unduly rattled by the Press bar- rage under which our opponents are advancing to fight us." The j Prime Minister addedz-"l can as- sure him (UMr. “Plum" Warner) l have passed through these bar- rages unscathed.” We are l-ri- clined to regard this as the most ‘ suggestive political achievement of l the past few years. Newspapers t ' with strong and definite opinions naturally and properly attack , their opponents and Mr Baldwin would be astonished arid perhaps u little illltifllllftll table if he found either tlic Daily News or ilie Dally Herald constantly euloglitiug him] and his politics in their editorial columns. 'l‘he barrage to which, he referred, however, was the iii- slsteiit pi-rsounl attacks in papers grunt-ally fuvuuratble tu the C0ll-' servative.

Mr. Baldwin has brought to an end the behind-the- scenes interference of -l<‘leet Street with the affairs of Whitehall, and that is something for which his fol- lotv-couiitrynieu oi‘ all shades of opinion are profoundly grateful.”
