What the issues in the Mid-Bucks by-election may be remains to be disclosed, but so far as the personality of the candidates goes Sir Stanley Reed, who stands as a supporter of the Government, is in another class from his rivals. He is one of those men so essentially Liberal in their outlook that it is something of a shock to find them labelled Con- servative—till you remember how Liberal one wing of the Conservative Party is. That applies particularly to his attitude on the Indian reforms and India generally, on which, with his sixteen years' experience as Editor of The Times of India behind him, he has something to contribute that no Member of Parliament I can think of has.
