NEWS OF THE WEEK
ALTHOUGH the Session is over and the coal subven- tion is settled beyond the possibility of recall, the :future of the coal industry is still the preoccupation of all 'politically minded men. It is right that it should be so. ,For this cord problem signifies much more than the mere re- organization of the mines : it touches all other industries and the future relations of the State to industry as well as of employers to employed. More than that, it brings to an issue the whole method by which our country is to be governed. Anybody who reads carefully the reports of the important coal debate in the House of Commons on Thursday, August 6th, will see there very plainly implied, if not explicitly stated, all the issues which we have mentioned.
