SOME POINTED CRITICISM.
WHAT THE "OBSERVER" THINKS
(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON. January 12.
Sir John Simon, Solicitor-General, speaking at Rcchdale, said that of all the shifts to which the Unionists had been driven, the most annoying was the suggestion to postpone tho food taxes and to carry out their policy bytaxing the manufactures. That would be a definite abandonment of colonial preference. Mr Bonar Law had nailed his colours to the mast, but a mutinous crew had locked him in his cabin, and hnndrd through the window a "round robin' , expressing their dovotionr.if he hauled down his flag. The Unionists were not ir.ovcd by faith, but by funk.
Tho "Observer" appeals to Mr Bonar Law not to return to Balfourism. and says it would havo been better had Mr Bonar Law and Lord Lansdowno resigned until assured of their party's solid loyalty, instead of "lip" loyalty. Tho terms of tho memorial seemed to indicate that the party was adopting Mr Churchill's "banged door" policy.
