Is there any means of introducing a new driving force into our national affairs? Is it not possible that we can escape from this long-and ap- parently endless-period of high prices, bad travelling, labour troubles, and all the rest of the things which we are told are sequels to the war. but which may be in part, as a whole, due to inefficient government? Carnot we get out of the morass in any way? Parliament has begun again, and apparently is to proceed on the same old round, with debating contests which will be announced as triumphs for this statesman or that, with the same effective speeches and ineffective efforts.. There will be 'some Bills passed I wonder if they will make any difference. I have no much hop:.

A curious and contradictory place is the House of Commons just now. All its members profess themselves eager for changes; for example, to reduce the cost of living, but with practically every section of them having some scheme or schemes for spending more public money. What- ever partisans may assert, I believe that members of the Cabinet, are honest men, but I believe also that the majority of them are common- place, uninspired, and almost entirely, in the hands of the permanent officials of the various departments Only one of them, the Prime Minis ter, has any strong independence of outlook, but he is enmeshed by poll- tical considerations which are inevitable when his Cabinet is composed of those who have been life-long opponents of each other.
