We publish to-day the first of a series of articles

by Mr. Noel Skelton, XP., on " Constructive Conservatism." We wish to call our readers' attention to this as being representative of an outlook and a mood which, for good or ill, are becoming dominant in the younger branch of the Unionist Party. Mr. Skelton sits for Perth, where last November, amid the fall of Conservative seats to Labour all round him, he won over that historic Liberal camp. When, therefore, he deals with the attitude_ of the electorate to Conservatism he speaks of what he knows.
