We intend to publish next week the first of two
articles by Mr. • H. W. Massingham, the well-known journalist, who was recently the editor of the Nation. The general title of Mr. Massingham's articles will be " The Other Side," which implies that we want him to feel as free as possible to express opinions which normally will be opposed to our own. We do not pretend that this is virtuous on our part. In the first place it is a pleasure to give a hearing to so distinguished a writer and com- mentator on public events as Mr. Massingham, and in the second place it is good business, as our readers probably prefer to reach their conclusions on any given subject after considering both sides and not only one. Mr. Massingham's article of next week will be a criticism of the Liberal Party under Mr. Asquith which, we dare say, will cause some surprise.
