The Greatest
Opportunity

The result Of the election provides Lloyd
George with wonderful an unprecedented.
opportunity. Upon that ali parties are
agreed. The Peace Conference, Ireland and
Labor-three great questions. or rather
groups or questions, await him on the
threshold Of his new administration. In
regard to the first, his repeated dec
laratlons have made clear that he is in
complete agreement with all the essential
part of President Wilson's policy; and in so
far as that agreement is emphasized in
Paris the Prime Minister will have the
support Of the Liberals and Of Labor. OF
ireland 1t Is impossible to say more at
present. In regard to all matters of do
mestlc settlement and reconstruction, Mr..
George will need to find his way direct to
the collective aspiration and will of the
mass of the British people Upon the
crucial point Mr.. George, as his recent
speeches show. is under no inisapprehen-
sion. His government will be overwhelr~
ingly Conservative, in conformity with the
membership OF his majority. But Mr.
Geerge~knows that the votes of the People,
so largely soldiers, workmen ard women,
who have placed this superb opportunity
IN his hands, were not given to him be-
cause he is allied with Bonar Law and
Lord Curgon and Lord Miner, or because
he has accepted the implications Of that
alliance. They were given to him because
OF his war record, because he led the gov
crnment in the final stage of the war, be-
cause the world has agreed to salute him
as leader of vision and genius, man
who gets things done. During the CAM
paign, and since the election. he has pro-
claimed that the new House must support
him In his programme Of Yeconstruction'
II 1t cannot do SO, he will appeal again
to the people. And that, wa may bs Ssrss
he will be ready to do.

quith has gone down with all his lieu
tenantsexcept those who. in 1916, went
over to Mr.. George. The very large ma
jorites against them serve to emphasize
a circumstance which is undoubtedly sig
niticant-the disappearance, for time, of
Liberalism as q middle way in a world pass
ing through profound social change. The
question will be asked on all hands: Are
we, in all countries, approaching the time
when those who stand substantially for the
old order, whether they call themselves
Liberal or Conservative, will be driven to
make common cause against the multiple
forces OF revolution?

And Labor,
Too

1t should, however, be made clear that
the relative strength of parties after an
election such as this is never an accurate
index of the voting In Great Britain there
is practically no representation of minori-
ties. The new parliamentary Reform act
has effected revision of the electoral dis
tricts, but has made no provision for any
form of proportional representation-th
expedient for which reformers like H. G.
Wells have argued with so much per-
sistence and enthusiasm. When the full
particulars are available it will be found,
first, that the total national poll was sur
prsingly small Certainly not more than so

The Victory
In Figures

But there are other facts that need to be
brought out if we would get anything like
a correct view of the election and it's mo-
mentous result. Consider, first, the figures
as they stand. In the House of Commons
as changed by the recent reform act there
are 707 members. Of these All are definite
ly labelled as supporters of the Coalition
government: Conservatives 1874, Liberals
1877, Labor 10. Add forty-six, who are
classed simply as Unionists or Conserva-
tves. OF these some are Tories of the more
extreme kind who dislike Mr.. Lloyd George.
They are following him, until the peace, re-
iuctantly or rebellousy. Turn to the other
side. The Opposition is made up as fol-
lows:
Asquith Liberals. ............. 81

Irish Nationalists. .........

eral election are perfectly plain

George and Victory election. 1t
has confirmed Mr.. George in power with an
emphasis which no one among his oppo-
nents has sought to minimize. A triumph
for him, it is also a triumph for the Con-
servatives The Liberal party, after a long
spell of power, is divided and impotent.
the political history of Britain the cleo
torate has swept away the candidates, both
Liberal and Labor, whose record on the war
does not meet the challenge of simple ma
tionalism and patriotism. This resonant
result has the effect of carrying the Prime
Minister to Paris with a backing so ire
mendous that he can, to all appearance,
speak with an authority greater than that
of any other member Of the peace confer
ence.
These things are obvious and undeniable.
They have been recorded and annotated all
over the world, and there is no need to en-
force them here or to add anything in praise
Of the generalship displayed by the most
accomplished political strategst Of his
time.

command altogether SIT votes, and to be
opposed by only H. even if we count in all
the doubtful items ON the anti Coalition list.
There has, of course, never been a House

In the course of discussion Of the

i To controvcrt that. the fact was
brought up that il gambling were allow

spend all their earnings on it.
To which thu defender of gambling re-
sponded- Yes. but isn't it true that Ill
balanced people spend recklessfy FOR all
sorts Of things. Look at the way mil
lions of women spend for clothes. Snail
we forbid women who can AFFORD II 10

these other women on? There's more
