The force OF the cross currents OF
radical opinion on foreign policy could
MOI DC foreseen when the journey TO
pe!hi was proposed. These have be-
come unmanageablc. and both Mr.. A.
qnitn and sir Edward Grey reveal i'm

The Radical protests against I,aiy's
terrible reprisals and methods OF bar
harism in Tripoli are righteous but
inopportune, and these are accompanied
by an agitation for an Anglo German
entente on which the Little England
ers have set. their hearts as the only
praetical method OF enecting reduc-
'tion OF ornaments.
Unionist Trades Not troublesome.
These currents OF Radical criticism
are more troublesome than the yncuous
TRADES OF the Unionists against the
declaration Of London as German
made law.
The Chinese upheaval causes less
perpieNity among The ministers. since
non intervention is the common foreign
policy, and japan. which may most
readily be drawn into the revolutionary
maelstrom, is EngiGnd's ally. The
conversion OF China into q nationaiized
and constitutional state seems certain.

More hnrassing than foreign compli-
cations during the Kings absence in
India are the risks OF a widespread
labor revolt. The official resources OF
Cancellation are already exhausted. and
the executive committee of the rail-
way mems unions Is known to be di-
vided on the burning question of re-
Ststance to the Railway Commissions
report. The hot-headed leaders are as
obstinate as Lord Halsbury's die
hards,' and the Labor members of Par
lament lack the courage necessary for
"a strenuous resistance. The renewal
OF general strike Is q terrible men
ace. which keeps ministers awake half
the night. The revolt of the taxicab
drivers against detectives and spies is
trivial in comparison with what may
be gigantic struggle.
