measure, Mr Balfour's Government is hardly likely to 

 take those steps to put the great land industry of the 

 country in that position which it must attain before the 

 people can find relief from the sore troubles that beset 

 them.

 stated, or was reported to have stated, and has, more-

 daylight that if that gentleman is returned to power, and 

 provided his Party share his beliefs, a black day will 

 dawn for England. The only hope for the people is 

 through the land, and, if the way be barred — God help 

 them. 



When we come to the newspapers for help, we are no 

 better off, for in seeking a solution of the difficulties 

 which beset labour they, more or less, seem to ignore 

 agriculture as a factor in the situation. 



Here is an example from one of the London dailies — 

 Daily Express.
