THE POLITICAL SITUATION. 0- MR. BALFOUR IN EAST LOTHIAN. Mr. Balfour, presiding on December 26 at t1 meeting of the East Lothian Unionist Associa- tion at at which Mr. Craig Sellar was aclbptedi as candidate to oppose Mr. Haldane, Secretary for War, said Mr. Haldane was rightly regarded as v. man of character, of ability, and) of moderate opinions. But they had at this moment to consider what was the Government of -Which Mr-. lately Tbecome a member. Was that a moderate Government? In regard alike to Imperial f Ya.ff-a,irs, to the relations between Great Britain j and Ireland, and to fiscal problems, Mr. ) Haldane had committed himself to a Govern- I ment which differed fundamentally from the opinions professed by Unionists. He had allied j his political fortunes with those of the head of j the Little England party, and of a party which ] was pledged) to Home Rule. ¡ The present Government were also pledged to what they considered the pure and undefiled j doctrine of free trade, but what, in his opinion, ] was a blind and stupid adherence to certain et fixed practices and maxims which had their meaning and their reasons forty years ago, but J had that meaning no longer. After criticising the pledge which, he said, Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman had given in his Albert Hall speech to reduce the cost a-nd magnitude, of our arma- ments, Mr. Balfour closed by urging that it was the duty of every Unionist in East Lothian to purge himself, at least, from any respon- sibility for a policy and -b Government which 1 were utterly unworthy oi the support of the country at large.
