VICTORY FOR TARIFF POLICY

LONDON, November 8.

The Conservative press declares that the Shipley victory of the Conservative Party on the policy of safeguarding is the more remarkable because that electorate has never before been represented by a Conservative. A POLITICAL VIEW. (Received this day at 9.4-0 a.m.' LONDON, Nov. 9. Tiie “ Observer,” in an editorial headed ‘‘ La hour’s Coming Collapse,” doubts if when the moment comes, Air MacDonald will ask for a dissolution. It expresses the opinion, that Atinisters will resign, and cross the floor, and then Air Baldwin, if lie takes office, must ask for a dissolution. If he makes the Cabinet anything like the last, it would be damaged before the general election. We remain of the opinion that the greatest public need is a national government, including, if possible, Labour as well as Liberal leaders, to hold office at least until the now Indian Constitution is passed by both Houses, which cannot be for twelve months.
