THE LIBERAL PARTY.
FUTURE POLICY
(Received 8.50 a.m.)
LONDON, March 20.
Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman, leader of the Opposition, speaking at Leeds last night, ridiculed the piteous spectacle of Mr Balfour tearfully apologising to the publican interest for recent licensing legislation. He condemned the appalling growth of the national expenditure, which, he declared, was 50 per cent. hWier than in 1895, though none had been applied to old age pensions. Home Rule had not been discarded, and Liberals were only awaiting a favourable opportunity. Liberals were always on the jide of public interest, and he declared that there was no difference between Liberalism and Labour.
The "Daily Telegraph" characterises the speech of the leader of the Opposition as a deliberate attempt to stir up the "'have-nots" against the "haves."
