The mystery of Lord Rothermere's relations with Mr. Lloyd George

has been solved by .the new policy of the Daily Mail which is a Coalition " to defeat Socialism " under Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Lloyd George. We do not gather who is to be the leader. Perhaps that does not matter much for the present, as it is inconceivable that Mr. Baldwin, who was the instrument of bringing the old Coalition to a welcome end, would consent to another Coalition under any less pressure than the necessity of carrying on the King's Government. * * * *
