Local Notes and Events

In a Coalition this principle is overthrown. The Prime Minister has not subordinates, but allies, who must be enjoled and consulted, who must refer matters back. and who have different methods and objectives. When Mr. MACDONALD suggests a certain line of netion Mr. BALDWIN and Sir HERDERT [A.ZB) SAMUEL will have to consult their

supporters, and find out if the pro posal is in accord with Conservative FERRIERA Les Genets, Petit And Liberal principles and likely Saconnex Geneva, on August to help or injure the party cause.. 24, to Mr. and ME VIVIAN The procedure will resemble the Western Front before Foc was Generalissimo, and in a position to issue his orders to HAIG and PER- BRING, PETAIN.

There is generally too much talent in Coalition Government, and everyone thinks himself the proper person to give orders. There are so few places that only the elderly men are chosen; the ener; getia young men do not get "a chance, and are in consequence abnormally restive. Important people have of necessity been left out and become natural lenders of opposition. Mr. WINETON CHR CHILL is no doubt delighted at the course of events.
