LORD BIRKENHEAD AND WAR.
BROTHERHOOD OF MEN.
The members of the International Par- liamentary Commercial Conference visited Oxford recently, and were received by the authorities of the University and the city. After a tour of inspection they assembled at Christchurch College, and were enter tained to luncheon by the Government in the Great Hall...
The Earl of Birkenhead presided over a large and distinguished gathering, which included the Vice-Chancellor of the University, the Dean of Christchurch, the Turkish, Brazilian, and Portuguesa Am- bassadors, the Polish Minister, the Greek alinister, and many members of Farlin

Lord Birkenhead, proposing. The International Parliamentary Commercial Conference," said that there was some- thing in the very name of Parliament which almost disarmed criticism. For centuries in this country we had enjoyed the advantages and had sustained the tedium(laughter) of Parliamentary dis cussion, and he could not see that we had been any the worse for it. (Hear, bear.) For that period a number of misguided men had met together in Parliament and talked and yet the nation had been managed. (Laughter.) There could be nothing fundamentally wrong in a system on behalf of which this great claim could be made Why was it that autocracies had seldom burvived he asked. It was because when men went about with swards and guns they met other men, with words and guns but so long as they talked nothing happened except that other people talked. (Laughter.)", If one had the power of cutting a man's head off, why in the name of common sense should he listen to his tedious arguments? (Laughter and cheers.) ;
