COMMENT OF THE DAY

Election Prospects
HE optimism felt by the Conserva- tives over the outcome of the impending general election is under- standable. Recent public opinion polls have been favourable to them, although, of course,
these are not always an accurate forecast, as for example the last American Presidential election in which, without exception, they mis. calculated the result. It is doubtful, indeed, whether the Conservative Party organisers 'take very much notice of assessing election - Gallup Polls in
prospects. A more solid basis is the knowledge that the people of Britain generally are weary of austerity, controls, restrictions, shortages and inflation, and that the voters (especially those who are capable of swinging the result
tho one way or
other) automatically blame the government conditions. in power for existing Moreover the middle-class electors have given a number of signs that they are disillusioned about the beneficial effects of nationalisation and that they do not desire to see any further extension of this policy. Another, but not so easily nasessable consideration. Is the recent split in the Parliamentary Labour ranks, with Nyo Bovan challenging the authority and leadership of Mr Attlee. It is something which the Tories may be able effectively to exploit during the coming election campaign. In the final election will analysis, however, the probably be decided on which party can most effectively place before the country a programme that in convincing as it in appealing. In some respects the Conservatives are at' a disadvantage. Thay, can hardly attack the basic features of the Socialist Government's foreign policy although they can, and probably will, attempt to capitalise on the none too resoluto polley of the Government vis-a-vis Porala and Egypt.

This Tory attitude to the most controversial political issue of the last 20 years may tend to con- fusc middle-of-the-road electors because it suggests that nationalisation can be a good thing as well as a bad thing. The Conservatives may find it necessary to clarify their position between now and October 25. Mr Churchill's party will be on safer and more popular ground in attacking the Socialists' building record and their proposals for resolving the problem, and an energetic campaign on this issue may well win for the Tories substantial number of normally Both parties are in adverse votes.

rearmament effectiva and programme and (b) increased produc- tion. They part the ways only on methods to be employed for obtaining best results. The Conservatives claim that irresolute Government policy and a pandering to trade unionists prevents the necessary increase in production, and they further claim that govern. ment restrictions, high living costs, and inflation deny either employers or workers incentive to produce, moro. and faster. The various points will be debated with considerable,vigour during the next four weeks, but the election is still likely to be n very close result. Neither party has, any illusions about the difficulties which will beset the next Government.
