"The one think we can be certain of is that Labour la going to win a much larger number of seats. The Labour Party la undoubtedly in- creasing its strength in every constituency, and you cannot give any reason for it except that people are getting very tired of the Conservative Government.
"The Conservatives have been in power for Ave years, and they have done nothing. The great question at Home is unemploy- ment, and that is practically as it was when the Conservative regime commenced.. There is a feeling of hopelessness, a feeling that the country under à Conser vative Government is merely drift- ing without any practical mea- sures being taken. People will vote for a new Government merely because they think it cannot be worse than the present one, aud in the hope that it may bring some degree of fresh thought to the problem.'
