— By Telegraph — Copyright.)

Rec. Oct. 29, 7.10 p.m. NEW YORK, Wednes. The initiation of a new spirit of demoeracy in world affairs is shown as one of the major results of the British election by representative United States editorial writers.' "A better outlook for world-wide security." "The repudiation of Socialistic doctrine, has proved the tlieory that Great Britain always goes "Conservative" in times of crisis, and is an indication of the soundness of British public opinion." These are some of the outstanding opinions which are expressed by newspapers. American Press comments generally emphasise the protection aspect of the Conservative victory. The "New York Times" stresses the enlightened leadership and the principal needs of the Conservative Party, and coneludes "What the new polieies will be are as yet uncertain, but there is no uncertainty ahout the resounding verdiet on the men and the affairs of the past two years. The "New York Sun" says: "The | victories in Great Britain have demonstrated in a fashion that the. most timorous politican can understand that in times of crisis it pays to tell the people the truth." The "Boston Transcriber" says: "Scare.him well, and the Englishman pulls his Conservative jaclc-boots out of the cup-board. An early vote on' tariff duties with a hopeful squint towards Empire protection is probable." The "Boston Herald" declares: "For better or for worse, Great Britain is going abandon free trade." The "St. Louis Star" asks: "What have the Conservatives to* offer that they did not offer before? Nothing, except the protection tariff, and that is a delusion." The "Chicago Tribune" says: "The doctrine of 'cakes and circuses' is a drug. Extreme national danger seems to have revived the British people."
