To-day the press and public daily are frankly acknoivleding the work.- of Mr. MacDonald. The turning point was Mr Snowden’s speech. ; • ; When a leading journal said, for the first- time in fifteen yenrss a British Statesman has stood up for Britain’s rgilts, the people began thinking, and to - their surprise found the Labour policy of Britain was more Conservative than the Australian. The Nationalists hope for a definite majority for Mr Bruce at the coming electionl. Mr ;Bruc,e stands -as one safety .valve between Australia and practically chaos, while the party sys.tem,.remains. They must acknowledge Mr Bruce as the one staple feature. Australia needed industrial peace at home and felt ashamed of the perpetual cry of strike., strike. We should look and strive for the peace of our industrial life.
