BRITISH POLITICS.
London, January 18. Mr Balfour, at a great Unionist demonstration at Glasgow, admitted the difficulty of the problems ahead, but said that the dangers of fiscal reform were far less than those associated with social reform. Both were difficult, and both were necessary, but if the Unionists aspired to achieve those reforms, .the two small, though not important extreme wings, .who found it difficult .to work with the vast, solid main body, must sink their differences and arrange to cooperate. Mr Balfour said he was convinced that the great majority of the party favoured a moderate, resolute policy of fiscal reform. If mutual concessions enabled them to adopt an effective, coms anon action, the country would reject the most reckless Govern/■ment tbat ever held office, and call to power men with a constitutional Imperial policy.
