The imposition of economies, and the convincing of the average voter of the necessity for these economies are the biggest issues before the country to day.

Mr. MACDONALD and Mr. SNOWDEN carry weight with all classis. If they say that economy is needed, the working classes will believe them, for the average person trasts them and feels that these two men know the posi- tion, and never have, and never will temporise with what they believe to be true. Mr. MACDONALD's attitude towards tariffs has not yet been made clear, but, if his Conservative colleagues cannot carry him with them, it is to be hoped that the thattor will be allowed to remain in abeyance. It is very doubtful if Mr. BALDWIN's stern call to duty, with the acceptance of both wage cuts and tariffs, would prevail over the syren voices of Mr. HENDERBON's demagogues, and the issue is too serious to be put to the hazard of the ballot box. Those who have the interests of the country at heart will hope that the parties compris ing the National Government will be able to find a common policy on the big problems now before the country and that there will be no necessity to force an election, in which extremists will have the tac tical advantage.
