Policy Changed.

The conservative papers have long
been trying to convince their readers
that the reason why Lloyd George 5
land policy was suddenly sidetracked
was that not only did several cabinet
ministers object 10 il as too radical
measure, but u number of liberal land
owners aud capitalists threatened to
withdraw their financial support If
land was really to be taken.
Nothing could be more wrong than
this explanation, which not one OF the
conservative leaders really believes In.
but which came in exceedingly handy
ut time when the Tory party was
threatened with complete disintegra-
tion because OF the quaIrele over tariff
reform.
The government, whose members
have been already once convinced OF
the success of LLOYD Georges fiscal
policy. which has raised all the money
necessary, not only to wipe ont big
deficit, but to meet enormous increased
national expenses without imposing an
other penny Of new taxes, are all in
perfect harmony in regard to the chan
cellor plans concerning the taxing OF
land, and the reason why this part OF
the liberal programme has been post
poued is quite different from anything
connected with domestic politics at all,
but rs result of the mudded lnterna
tional European situation.
