Compromise on Coal,
London, Apr. 30. It is interesting, in view of the above declaration, to note the fol lowing comments on the situation hy The Nation, the prominent Liberal weekly organ, in its issue of April 6th last:
"In view of the persistence of rumours and speculations, it seems. desirable to state plainly that there is no general pact, or agree. ment, or conspiracy between the Liberal and Labour Parties. A very sensible compromise has been reached on the Coal Mines Bill, by which certain amendments moved by Liberal members to improve the Bill have been accepted by the Government, and any attempt to destroy the Bill has been abandın- ed by the Liberal Party. That is the only agreement that has been reached.
Ridiculous Pose.
"In view of the altitude which the Liberals have from the first adopted towards the Rill, the Tory pose of incredulity regarding this arrangement is ridiculous. Be- fore the Second Reading, the Liberals offered their support if certain changes were made in the Bill; these were refused, and the majority of the Party therefore voted against the Second Reading, Since then the Bill has been great- ly improved in Committee, from the Liberal point of view; the Govern- ment having been once defeated (on the obnoxious export levy pro- posal), and have accepted vari. ous amendments.
"To destroy the Bill now would throw the industry back into chaos, and create the most serious danger of another coal stoppage. It would also weaken the Government at a time when it is extremely import- ant that the Government should speak confidently for the whole nation. So much for the alleged Puct."
