ENGLAND's PREDICAMENT

The situation in England which has brought about the resignation of Lloyd George is merely an example Of Englishmen running true to form. Imagine Conservative" Americans and Liberal" men of the United States getting together and working together and staying together. The getting together and the working to- ether may be conceived here, under stress of war, for instance, or under pressure of other great emergency. But it would be difficult to think of conservative and liberal America ms staying" together It might be done and it is done because the actors Ire Americans, and for that reason only.
 How much more difficult it is to ina zine Englishmen, far more settled in their ways. far less open to sug- gested changes than people in this country, getting together. working

SPIRIT RADIO.

There is a decided appeal to the the convention of spiritualists being held, by John Slater. medium. There is great hope for spiritualists," he says, fin the recent astounding devel- opment of the radio the thing we are doing now by means of the radio is what the spirits of the other side have been doing for a long time. They have been broadcasting us for ages but most of us didn't know how to tune in The medium" goes on to say we may hear concerts from heaven, but that the spirits won't talk to ordinary folk"
 All of which, of course, means that the particular medium speaking believes he is not ordinary folks" and that he and his ilk are not among the most of us" who have not been able to tune in.
 But let us for the moment consider ourselves back in the days of the belief in witchcraft How long would person have been able to go about in peace if that person were able to call from out of the clear air the sound of beautiful music, as almost any ordinary person possessing broadcasting instrument is able to do today? The path of such person to the village pond or the stake would have been swift and sure--the witch's fate would have awaited him or her. Yet those people who ducked the witches or who solemnly approved the punishment of witches" were. in their day considered intelligent and high minded. We are considered tn- telligent, perhaps and yet we scoff at the things suggested by "mediums", encouraged in our scoffing by the degree to which such mediums carry their beliefs, and the vulgar way in which they sometimes express them selves Our wisdom is wonderful as are our achievements, but the limits Of our wisdom will not be reached until we recognize fully how far short of perfection 1t is and how suner- hcialy it has scratched the surface of achievements possibilities.

together and staying together They
 did the former: now they refuse to
 do the latter Coalition" of ConserV-
 atiVe and Liberal in England simply
 could not last While the war was in
 progress and since the war, in the
 face of perpexinG problems, the coalition has continued. Now has come the time when the Conservatives demand return to their principles, a failure to abide by dynamic force" with Liberal tendencies
 There has been continued protest under Lloyd George from the Con- servative element. AS the problems seemed to fade away that protest grew until today, feeling compara- lively safe, those protesting loudest have their way. They will admit that Lloyd George was wonderful in emergency. But they will have no more of him. Those in this country eager for England's welfare believe the break will cost England a great deal. Englishmen. not of the mid >dle classes" breathe a sigh of relief because, in their estimation, England will again be England, without any coalition.
 te ct, ic ,,, middle classes. His brains and ability were utilized by those above the middle class. The great middle class of that country still believes in him. The others do not believe in him because they feel they can get along without him, Lloyd George has "resigned". That is the formality in England. He even suggests to the king whom to call to form q new government But Lloyd George has not retired to private life. His 'res- ignation" means no more than the legal general denial" means. It is mere form and the resignation means not that he washes his hands of the country's affairs but that he will plan to retain power fin his own way, His plans will probably be known tomorrow when he speaks again. Meanwhile the majority of the people of this country compliment him for the stand he took against the Turks, which aided in his downfall, and for the wonderful work he did in the war. England goes through the form of getting rid of Lloyd George because of its prejudice against coali- tion England still faces acute prob- lens in the Near East situation, to say nothing of the Irish treaty, about to be passed upon in Ireland and England. England is in a predica- ment.
