that he was altogether too inexperienced

fight would be principally against the
Conserv ative Clerical bloc. The Centre,
he said, had displayed the worst charac-

because it advocated an increase in the
military estimates and taxation and an
addition to customs duties which had
brought the price of foodstufrs to vertig

lieved that the German workman lived
in the lap Of luxury and was provided for

coming, he said, when the question of the
