Meanwhile the Unionist Central Office has unkindly issued a dossier

of Mr. Redwood. According to this statement, when Mr. Redwood was a member of the Queensland Legislature, he threw over the Government, -of which he was a nominal supporter, to help the Socialists, and he voted for just such a- nationalizing policy as he now condemns. It is also said that he became a public, singer under the name of Senor Vernon Brisbani. Welt Mr. Redwood may genuinely have changed his mind, and we shall not blame him, for that. Nor are we inclined to blame him for becoming Sefior Brisbani any more than we are inclined to blame that exquisite songstress of Melbourne for becoming Melba. Mr. Redwood's situation IS sufficiently comic apart from all that. But no doubt the Unionist Central Office knows its business and under-

stands the value in. such a constituency as Bromley of piling up ridicule.
