THE OPPOSITION.
MR. BALFOUR'S CRITICISMS. By Telegraph.— Press Association.—CopyrigUt. (Received Mar 7, 4.32 p.m.) London, May G. Mr. Balfour, speaking before the Primrose League, commented bitterly on the Opposition's flood of. misiepresentation regarding the Chinese labour question, and on its querulous disappointment owing to the fruits of office being still withheld. One effect of the approach of the general election was the conspicuous alteration in Radical tactics towards the Aliens Immigration Bill and the Agricultural and Education Acts. The Education and Licensing Acts embodied principles of reform from which the country would never go back. The Radicals had refused to explain the Irish policy. Their advent would give little comfort to those colonists who took the closer union of the British Empire as a serious question of politics.
