Storms are gathering on the political horizon. During the past four months the Labor government has enjoyed an almost unbroken run of popularity. The Hague settlement in which Phillip Snowden figured largely was an outstanding event and there was also the League of Nations meeting at Geneva and the peace mission to the United States, all of which brought praise from all quarters. But in the domestic field another story seems likely to be told. Despite the efforts of Rt. Hnn. J. H ister of employment, the employment returns show little encouragement. "Seasonal increases" in the number of unemployed continue and Mr. Thomas frankly, admitted that the government will rightly be judged by the actual success of its employment schemes. When parliament reassembles October 28 there will undoubtedly be a request for time to discuss the situation in the house. There has been a restlessness in Labor ranks and both Lloyd George and Baldwin have hinted at an approaching attack.
