At the same thaw, we do not far a inoment
that in intention the Labour leaders arc any less patriotic: or less desirous than Unionist and Liberal statesmen of taking the people of this country happy and prosperous and worthy to do their part in the eorranon interests nf the world. But, thouzli we do not in the least _desire to.- represent the Labour men as unfit for office, we do believe most strongly that what we have to secure is the rule of the majority, not of the minority. When the Labour Party can secure the support of the majority of the nation they will have the fullest right to supreme power without any other party's tolerance, or consent, or favour. Till they do, they have no such right, and we refuse to pretend that they ought to have it accorded to them on what are inadequate pleas. The Labour Party ought not to expect, and we believe do not expect, any sentimental patronage from their opponents.
