Accompanied by the original envelope signed ('D Lloyd George') to the lower left corner; Stanley Baldwin (1867-1947) British Prime Minister 1923-24, 1924- 29 & 1935-37. A good T.L.S., Stanley Baldwin, three pages, 4to, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, 21st June 1928, to Sir Courtenay Mansel, on the printed stationery of the Prime Minister. Baldwin sends his best wishes to his correspondent for their fight in the Carmarthen Division and continues 'Our political opponents have accused the Government of apathy and of failure to tackle the problems of Unemployment, the necessitous areas and the depressed industries. I would ask the electors to reject these misrepresentations and to look at the other side of the shield. Not only has the Government carried out every pledge which it made at the General Election, but in its Budget of 1928 it has produced a bold and constructive scheme of rating reform which is a genuine attempt to bring back prosperity to those areas and to those industries', also adding 'Since the War the great basic industries, which employ the largest proportion of the working population and are responsible for no less than two-thirds of this country's export trade, have been going through especially difficult times, owing to severe foreign competition and heavy costs of production. The best solution of the problem lies in cheaper production, which must mean better trade, less unemployment, cheaper prices and better wages. It is in this direction that the Government has found it possible to come to the relief of industry', explaining that the scheme has been designed 'as to give the greatest help to those areas and to those industries which are most in need of it' and referring in particular to the coal, iron and steel industries ('upon which the prosperity of South Wales so largely depends') as well as agriculture which has also been helped by the introduction of a Credits Bill 'which will make it easier for people to purchase and equip farms and to obtain working capital with which to develop them'. Baldwin concludes his letter 'These are practical steps which cannot fail to help the industries concerned on the road to prosperity. Every step on that road means better conditions for the workers and more opportunities of employment, and it is because this reform which the Conservative Government has introduced really holds out hopes of better times for everybody connected with industry that I feel confident that it will receive the support of the electors'. A letter of interesting political content. A small pinhole appears to the upper left corner of each page and with a few extremely light, very minor spots of foxing, none of which significantly affect the text or signature. G (1) to VG, 3 Sir Courtenay Mansel (1880-1933) Welsh Landowner and Farmer, Barrister and Liberal Party Politician who later joined the Conservatives. Baldwin's letter is written at the time of the Carmarthen By-Election of 1928 at which Mansel was chosen by the Conservative Party as their candidate. In a tight contest the Liberal candidate William Nathaniel Jones won by the narrow majority of 47 votes over Labour's Daniel Hopkin. Mansel came bottom of the poll with just under 30% of the votes.
