is it a sign of the decay of Para- ment that public men seem more than ever inclined to write to the newspapers instead of keeping their views for the House of Commons? Palmerston was supposed to be an assidious cultivator of the press, but even he, when asked by an important editor for an article on foreign policy, intimated that he was not going to spol the market by saying in the press what he could say more effec tively in the House of Commons. We are certainly moved from that position, for not a day passes with at member of the House putting on record their views in long letters
to the newspapers, and in some CUBES members who used to be frequenti speakers seom to keep their best. shots for the papers. Even Ministers write more often than they did, apart altogether from other methods of getting, their views on record in the press without too open disclosure of their identity. Perhaps this may be accounted for by the fact that nearly everyone reade a zewspaper Jatter with a well-known name agred to while hardly anyone reads long speeches nowadays, especially if do livered in the House.
