Sir Arthur Balfour gave a clear and' de- finite lead to his Conservative supporters in an important speech which he delivered on March 7th at the City Carlton Club in St Swithin's-lane. "Quite emphatically and without qualification," he said, "in my view the interests of this country are best entrusted to the hands of a tovern- ment which is supported by that great National party, to one of whose wings I bolong.”

Sir Arthur was the club's guest at luncheou, and Sir Laming Worthington Evans, the president, was in the chair.

The following are points from the spec I do not doubt the merits of the two party system, but remember that it is a fair-weather system.
