MR. SPEAKER.į
THE CHINA MAIL,
EARLY RETIREMENT OF ME. WHITLEY.
LOSS TO THE COMMONS,
Members of all political parties
House of Commons have been sub- Jected to the same trying experim ences as those to which Mr. Whit- loy was made an unwilling party. If tradition is followed the retiring Speaker will be created a peer, pos- albly with the rank of Viscount and will be given a pension of £4,000, Two names, we learn, have been mentioned in connection, with the
sure of support. On the other hand, Captain Fitzroy has had more experience in the conduct of the business of Parliament than the present Solleitor-General. Both gentlemen are admirably qualified by Parliamentary experience and by temperament for the Speakership.

The conduct of some of the members has been such that the present Speaker, whose duty it is to enforce the observance of the rules laid down for preserving order in the proceedings of the House, has been called upon to exer- eise his authority on several occa- stons. In fact, it is not too much to say that there have been incl- dents in the House quite recently which, but for the frm attitude taken up by the Speaker, would have resulted in a severe blow to the prestige of the Mother Parlia-portant service to the European As- ment. Mr. Whitley has proved sociation of which he was president himself to be the ideal Speaker. from 1922-25. He has invested his office with un- usual dignity and has displayed Beemingly inexhaustible patience. Some of his crities maintain that his only defect is his surpassing gentleness, of which the most un- ruly members of the House are wont to take unfair · advantage. That is hardly fair criticism. Be- hind Mr. Speaker's broad tolerance there is a firmness, a faithfulness to tradition and a scrupulous fair- ness in the interpretation of the rules of the House which, in prac- tice, have proved far more effective than the biting comments and sharp rebukes of the former Speaker, Mr. L. W. Lowther (now Viscount Ullswater), More cannot be said of Mr. J. H. Whitley than that he is especially endowed with those If so it will help you keep in gifts which make an English gen- good form to take a little dose of tleman and a Parliamentarian of Pinkettes occasionally, thus ensur the old type.
