/Britain has been too modest in rebutting charges which have been made its "opponents to weaken the electorate's adherence to the decision taken in 1881. For example the marked economic recovery which Great Britain can record is in no small measure due to the manful resolution of the Government's hand ling of public affairs. A writer to ime Times" sums up this recovery Industrial production in England nly 2 per cent. below the boom year of 1909." German production is 18° per ent. less; United 'States, 30 per cent. less: French and allan, 25 per cen less" (League of Nations' returns). 3890 England yeas third among the exporting nations; in 1883 she regained first place. Last year England had a Budget. surplus of 1£50.000000.. Amer fea had a delictt of 000,000,000, Taly of 262,000,000, France of -#68,00.0 fand Germany of 69,000,000. We have festered cuts: France and Ttaly have} had to. make drastic cuts in" wages '2nd pensions. Iron and steel produc: tion in this evuntry has doubled and there are 900,900 more people at Work.

The electorate, therefore, will be well-advised to trust Codlin who has delivered the goods rather than Short who sulked in his tent in the emergency. Nor is it trrevelant, to lay stress on the value of con-Adence. Confidence in a Government fg in itself an immediate reinforce. ment of its efforts to overcome:
Jadversity. Indeed confidence in the policy of the present British Govern ent has attracted large sums to Great Britain from countries where chaotic political conditions and lack of confidence in the direction of, affairs have persisted.
