PUBLIC OPINION.
It was a remarkahle tribute to democraey that on many oecasions in recent years the sheer strength of publie opinion had been powerful enough to force the hands of the British Government, even when that Government had an overwhelming majority in Parliament, said Lord Allen of Hurtwood in a recent address. He recalled the case of the proposed aircraft factory in the Thames Valley which the Government was now to build in Lancashire, and said that that feat could he repeated with ever-increasing success if they were vigilant and helpful in criticism. Nowhere had democraey failed, he continued. It was their business not to stir up apprehension about its capacity, but to proclaim ifcs immense success, to crCate new confldence in its ontlook and methods, and to show how it could extend its victories. Whafc British democraey needed to-day, Lord Allen added, was not politieal manoeuvring, but social engindering.
