In these elections the Unionist and Liberal organizations have worked

harder than ever before, but we suspect they did not begin soon enough or work quite hard enough. Here is the opportunity for the young men and women who are being earnestly summoned actively to help the Unionist Party. They must study the problems they must not be afraid to speak at street corners. Yet they must not so condemn expenditure as to suggest they are not good citizens intensely anxious for the well- being and the amenities of their Boroughs and County Boroughs. There is justifiable expenditure and expendi- ture which is not justifiable. That is the principal fact which has to be made clear. The steady Socialist successes are a portent, but they are by no means yet a tragedy. * * * *
