On the Continent of Europe Governments seem to have been
infected with a spirit of change, but the results have not been highly important. The Norwegian Gov- ernment resigned last week. It was an extreme Socialist Government which tried to put its extreme doctrines into practice, with the natural results. The new Greek' Government, a coalition under M. Zaim is, is much the same as the last except that ' M. Papanastassiou has dropped out. The Yugo-Slav Government resigned and M. Raditch was asked to form a new one. He has failed, as might be expected. Great as our sympathy is with the Croats, their wild man as Prime Minister of the Kingdom would not add to the general stability, It is much more serious that in Germany the President has failed to keep the Volkspartei at peace with Centrum and Nationalists over the Education Bill.
