Clifford Sharp in Everyman (Lonâ€" don): British resources, as measured by the actual productive capacity of the country, are enormous. We atre potentially as wealthy as we need to be. It is absurd to say that we have been living "beyond our means." We have not been living even up to our means. What wo have been living beâ€" yond is our capacity to pay for imâ€" ported goods in gold bullion. We posâ€" sess, in fact, an enormous surplus of unused productive power (i.e., wealth) represented by idle factories and idle men. It is merely the machinery of exchange that has gone wrong and that is very largely the fault of the bankers. Except in terms of gold, we are as solvent and as rich as we have ever been and if gold could be abolished toâ€" morrow we should be very wellâ€"toâ€"do indeed. We might be able even to increase the dole!â€"if that were good policy, which I certainly do not syggest. U. S.

Daily Telegraph (Conservative) It was a wonderful day‘s work in the interest of sane, honest Governâ€" ment. The result is a record and as sweeping a verdict as was ever renâ€" dered by the people voting with the fullest democratic freedom on an issue such as was never presented to an electorate before. The attempt to obâ€" scure the issue was carried out with tireless and feverish energy but the appeal to the fundamental good sense, respect for courage and straight dealâ€" ing was splendidly justified. Nemesis of political folly came swift and deadly to leaders who betrayed their trust and they have been taught a lesson that will be long remembered.

Daily Herald (Labor) The great fiight is over and whatâ€" ever is the result the Lobor movement of the whole country owes a deep debt of gratitude to countless men and woâ€" men who worked strenuously for the cause It was never so manifest that the Labor party and the Labor moveâ€" ment are deeprooted in the hearts of the people.

British Newspapers Review the Results gained in 1929 have gone again. Inâ€" roads have been made into the mining areas and Labor‘s grip on the indusâ€" trial towns has been badly shaken. Wherever Conservatives or Liberals have arranged a straight fight with Labor, Labor has been decisively beaten while even in three cornored fights the division of the Government forces is no help to Labor. With a poll much the same as in 1929 in most cases the solid transfer of Labor yvotes went to Conservatives or Liberals standing with Conservaâ€" tive help. Where the Liberal stood aside almost the whole Liberal vote has gone to the Conservative, or where it went to Labor it was balâ€" anced by a withdrawal of Labor votes. Mr. MacDonald has succeeded beyond his wildest hopes. The majority proâ€" mises to exceed the historic Liberal majority of 1918. The ILiberals are divided into three sections, What will be their alignment when the critical issue of free trade is raised by the Conservatives, who are the predominant partner? How long will they forbear exploiting their adâ€" vantage?

The results exceed only in magâ€" nitude the confidence we had in a triumph of the National Government and disaster for the Socialists, Taint hearts did their best to prevent an election. They screamed for days that the risk was too terrible. When an election was inevitable they screamed that there must be no positive policy, no insistence on tariffs and no menâ€" tion of Empire Free Trade, only a proâ€" mise to look into it if they were reâ€" turned to power. Once more the men who believed in Britain have triumphed over the wobâ€" blers. Their policy of home and Emâ€" pire tariffs cost them the support of the Newsâ€"Chronicle, London Star and Manchester Guardian and earned the direct hostility of Mr. Lioyd George.

These changes are coinciding with technological. changes which make it easier to grow a larger vyolâ€" ume on the same acreage as before; an accentuation, of changes which have been goihg on since the dawn of history, Under these circumstances it is not surprising,that the wheat farmâ€" er should be depressed.

It is a landslide for the National Governâ€" ment won along the line from Dundee to Bristol, from Sheffield to Hastings. They carried all before them. Almost everywhere the Labor poll has fallen by oneâ€"fifth. Everywhere the Liberals appear to have supported the Conserâ€" vative against the Socialist. One thing is certain. ‘The Labor Opposiâ€" tion is most gravely underâ€"represented in the new House.
