Liberals and the Government Mrs.' Snowden has given yet another
breakfast to Liberal and Labour leaders who wished to continue their discussion on Free Trade. It becomes clearer that the desire to organize a determined resistance to Protection is a real nexus between Labour and Liberalism. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that at the breakfast on Tuesday the discussion for the first time comprehended a regular working arrangement between the Government and the Liberal Party. It was suggested, we are told, that in return for Liberal support the Government should accelerate electoral reform. This is as important as it is interesting. If the Government could be quite sure of Liberal co- operation they would be confirmed in their present version of Socialism ; they could afford to smile at such bitter attacks- as Mr. Wheatley delivered in the housing debate- of Tuesday on Mr. Greenwood's non- revolutionary Bill.
