The average estimate of the Coalition majority was half the actual result. Pacifism and "defeatism" have received such a lesson as wrong-headed mischief-making never had. One valuable con- sequence of the overwhelming victory-is-to silence the talk about a minority Government. Mr. Lloyd George, with unexampled power to carry out the tasks of peace reconstruction, has a unique opportunity. We are convinced ho will make the utmost thereof.
