NOT A CURE FOR EVERYTHING. Press Association—By Tele-graph—Copyright. LONDON, March 18.

Nationalisation in Prussia had proved unsatisfactory. The practicability of the nationalisation of the railways in England had not been proved.

The recent tremendous strain on Parliament accounted for the Government marking time in regard to social reform.
