THE LIBERAL REBIRTH
Sir, — One reads a lot about the new Liberal Party that is being organised. This seems to me to be largely piffle. If there is one man in the House of Representatives who could lead the new party against the present Government it is Sir Joseph Ward, but he stands aloof from any party, and no one can know better than he that Liberalism is a forlorn hope. I have not been able to discover yet where the difference lies between the so-called Liberal Party and the Reform Party. The Great War was an object lesson to all factions. It took 18 nations to conquer Germany, and one man, Marshal Foch, had to be appointed generalissimo and given the right to dispose and locate the various forces that came from all parts of the Empire, with one object in view—to defeat a common enemy. Until that was accomplished the forces of the Empire were being driven into a corner. Now, Sir, the same thing applies to the Dominion to-day. If the Nationalists and Liberals hope to beat Reform it seems they must amalgamate with Labour to accomplish their object, under whose leadership remains to be seen. J. G RAC lE. Edendale.
