Written at Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, S.W. Is leaving for Beachborough but returns on Monday to tackle the strike. Is very reluctant to assume this responsibilty, but, 'My colleagues begged me to take it in hand'. Anticipates a reduced majority in the Norfolk by-election. Is 'meditating a great land campaign but I don't want it to "erthyli" - so I am keeping it back until it is urently needed. We want to come back on a great land revolution next time'. If a 'bad slump in Liberalism' occurred, he might have to begin the land campaign sooner. Is anxious not to repeat Chamberlain's error over tariff reform.
