In 1917 the Labour party bitterly hostile to his advocacy of eonscription, which by this time had been twice defeated at referendhims, refused to re-elect him as their leader. But, like Mr, LLOYD GROBOE, his personal ascendancy was such that he survived without a party. He drew his strength again like British Premier from the vast majority of people who are really indifferent to party politics and who then believed that Mr. HUGEES, with all his faulta, was a börn fighter and the right man in the right place doing the right thing. The right thing "winning the war, and in those days nothing else mattered. It is in Mr. Ruots's break with the Labour party that the root cause of his present eclipse is to be found. Since that day his. Cabinets have consisted chiefly of those to whom, according to his political pedigree, he | should have been in opposition. So long as the war insted he dominated the political stage in Australia by sheer force of character. With the coming of peace he was doomed. From his old Labour supporters he could expect no mercy, and was not the man to ask it From his

own Cabinet he could expect (and he received) continual opposition from the Nationalist members who were jealous of his personal prestige, disliked serving under the rule of a man whose pre-war utterances showed him to be more Labour than anything else, and Buspected that he was making use of the Nationalist organization to further mea- sures of a Labour complexion."
