And the practical conclusion that is to be- drawn from the statement is not (as has been unkindly suggested) the Mr. Baldwin should forthwith retire from the leadership or that we should convert Parliament into a Council of State or form a Na- tional Government or buy such proportion of Liberal votes no Mr. Lloyd George or any other Liboral leader can command, but something

This is de the same with other forms of not primarily a question of whe-ing the servants, not the masters. ther they should try to form ar- rangements with other parties, and try to buy Liberal support against Socialism or Labour support for Protection.
