...difficulty. National budgets have assumed proportions which, in a sense, defy accuracy: local aid must frequently elude the party ledger; while human fallacy is an ever-present factor. The existing is still far removed from perfection, but if the two National Committees approve, even under the constraint of public opinion, something of a step has been taken in the financial purification of campaigns...

But it is not wise in a democracy to go too far in front of public opinion. The British public is slow to make up its mind, but it is thinking hard. . . . Today even Labor wants to restrict the effect of unfair competition from abroad. Only the Liberals would repeal the Safeguarding Act entirely. The Government is ready to facilitate safeguarding if individual industries prove the necessity of their...
