LOOKING FOR THE SEQUEL

A question of the day is: How lar will the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Economj' bo carried out by the Government? Really’ how many of the recommendations will get any further than tho mere mention in the report? There is noc Jong to wait for the answers. Only till to-morrow.

It will be worse than the 10 per cent, euf Budget for bullets and billets will bo it.- anrounitidiL Who will bo fired ?
