bestowal Of tho freedom Of Il conser-

Welshmen, received degree from a
university, stirred to enthusiasm a
meeting Of dock laborerB on the

engaged In war work.
War to tho Hit.
The Hughes platform, roughly put
has been this: War to the hit
against the Germans, both on the bat
tloheld, and In the field Of trade.
Commercial union within the British
empire, and closer union, with Il share
for tho colonies Of making decisions
on imperial questions that concern
them"

the mother country was that there
wero currents Of thought, and agitl-
tIonR, which were waiting for lead
erBhlp. They wanted only a sDotes-
man. They mad advocates in the news
papers, but not among the welghty
men in parliament. or in public life
outside Westminster. While the war
has enormously changed and focused
the WORK Of the government, and raj
lied and brought together much Of
the latent power In Il slow-moYing
people. 1t has not changed the tone
OF craftsmanship, nor the conserVa-
tlsm with which the heavy guns OF
the coalition cabinet cling to what
they deem the high traditions Of Brit
ish public life. They have denounced
the present enemies of the country
but have denounced them with dlgni-
ty, and with care to avoid what they
would consider eXaggeration. Many
burning patriots accuse the govern
ment Of handling vital matters too
dclicately Tho up-to-date newspa
pers read by millions, notably the
Northclffe press, assert that mystor-
ious Influences work to shield German
interests in GrGnt Britain. Ginger
groups have been formed by members
Of both parties in parliament. but
those groups hayo had no wcighticr
leadership than that Of Sir Edward
