On Monday there was published, and distributed broadcast and gratis,
an eight-page pamphlet entitled the Future. The sub- title of the pamphlet is " Government Statement of National Needs and National Policy." There is a full-page portrait of Mr. Lloyd George with two other smaller portraits of Mr. Lloyd George. There are a " Message to the People " from Mr. Lloyd George and quotations from various speeches by Ministers of the Coalition Government, with suitable portraits and tributes to their virtues. The suspicion that this Ministerial pamphlet was being distributed at the public expense was unfounded. It is announced that it was paid for out of private funds. The war has taught us all the uses of advertisement, and we have nothing to say against that part of the pamphlet which preaches economy and higher productiveness.
