DATE OF ELECTION

JANUARY SUGGESTED

POLITICAL TRUCE RULES

(British Official Wireless.)

(Eeeeived 26th August, 11 a.m.)

KUGBY, 25th August. One immediate result of the formation' of the National Government is that there will be a political truce between the Conservatives and Liberals for the next few months. The first sign of this is contained in the announcement that the Liberal candidate has retired from the contest in the by-elec-tion now pending at Guilford. As the Labour candidate had already withdrawn, the Conservative will probably be elected unopposed.

There is considerable speculation as to the date of the General Election, and the opinion is expressed in the Press that the most likely date is January of next year. The new register of voters comes into operation on 15th October, and an election on the old register is considered improbable, while a November election is- regarded by newspapers as undesirable, as the campaign, would clash with that for municipal elections.
