OUR LONDON LETTER.. THE SOUND COMMON-SENSE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE.

SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS IGNORED AT THE GENERAL ELECTION,

LONDON, November 23rd.

New Members have been surprised and perhaps a little scandalised in the opening days of the Session to see Unionist Mem bers shake hands with Labourites and Asquithians and Lloyd Georgians in mutual congratulation on their safe return to the green benches! There is nothing insincere in these greetings. The point of view, held by House of Commons men now, an always, in such circumstances is that they have THE NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS.

BRITISH STABILITY,

A feature of the General Election which calls for special notice is that the returns afford the clearest possible proof of the steadiness of the people of these islands, At no previous period, so far as my political knowledge extends, kas a General Election taken place when trade was in such a depressed" condition and unemploy mant wat widespread, and it is equally certain that never before were the hot- gospellers of violence and disruption more Blatant or go well organised. There were open appeals to the electors to overthrow everything and everybody to let Socialism The capital levy was merely a bait put out to tempt the million and a quarter of unemployed in the country to fleece their fellow-citizena.

Bat all these traps and wiles of Socialist extremists were of no avail. People were not thrown off their balance, and, instead of following the lead of predatory spouter: under the influence of Moscow, they enlmly: voted a Tory Government" into office. I think that no matter from what particular angle you may choose to regard the General Election, this solid, concrete fact to which I call attention is a marvellous demonstration of the political stability and strong common sense of the British people. In its way it is monumental.
