It is contended in some of the advanced organs of public opinion that the Coalition has ceased to serve any useful purpose and that it is time the country reverted to the old system of having an Opposition in Parliament. For some definite load on the subject politicians have been anticipating the Conference of Coalition Liberals which was fixed for laat week. We have among the cables to-day the summary of a speech delivered by the PRIME MINIs at the Confer
