in a Home papers.
The Government, despite its superficial show of strength, is not so strong as many people beliova. It in becoming increasingly evident that bot far the occasional stage-managed appearances of the Prime Minis ter, the show does not attract big office receipts. I have referred before to the loosely word- of Ministerini ed phraseology answers and statements, partis cularly in regard to Mr. Bonar Law, Since I did. Mr. Churchill has been at the same game. His study in scarlet led him actually to see the looms at work on the new clothing of the Army: but when it came to defendiug bis Government, not a single order had been given to anybody. Succeeding Churchill we have Sir Erie Geddes. Full of wrath that Mr. Asquith should ever dream that he lay on his back, he bad massed a grand attack on Paisley. Was not Mr Waker Runciman a prodigy of the "Old Gaug," and bad be not made agreements which were losing the State money? That was the argument and Sir Eric saw Mr. Asquith knocked out and taking the count. He did not, but that is by the way.
