THE INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE.
The Reform manifesto states that the Reform party claims the credit for bringing about ail industrial conference. In his article in your newspaper blaming the Reform party for the delay in bringing about such a conference, the ego of Mr. Bloodworth is very much in evidence. He claims that he, and ho alone, was the first originator of the suggested conference. He reminds one of the generals and advisers surrounding General Joffre at the battle of the Marne —all won the battle. It is true many made suggestions, but, after all, it \vas really General Joffre who had the responsibility, and, although he may have adopted the suggestions of some of his advisers, the final _ responsibility for that momentous decision was his, and his alone. So likewise the responsibility of calling the conference was that of the Prime Minister. J. F. W. DICKSON.
