STATE AND LABOUR.
The Prime Minister, in laying remedial measures for bringing about an understanding between Labour and the State, cordially invited dis- cussion. Discussion there will certainly be during the Parliamentary Recess, and the proposals will be examined from every possible angle of vision, not forgetting the important question whether, even if all these things are desirable in themselves, industry can bear their cost. After all, that is a crucial matter, for no current delusion is more dangerous than the idea that any industry must, as a matter of course, be able to provide an adequate support at all times for those engaged in it. That does not follow at all as a matter of course,
