IS PARLIAMENT
TALKING SHOP?
(Continued from Page 6.) petition the House could, if it chose, discuss the question of the hour. Meanwhile, it was understood that the Government, if not defented on u question of principle, would have their Supply and all their necessary business.
Under the Irish pressure in the nineteenth century and under every Government of the last 50 years Parliament has first of all been an- cumbered with an enormous mass of day-to-day detail which It can only cannot
partially understand and possibly control, and at the same time has been fettered and trammel- led by every kind of arbitrary restriction; not indeed as to the freedom of opinion for that has always been preserved but upon what, when, and how it should debate.
Oddly enough, in this period in
many ways so depressing and anxi- ous, we see the old elasticity coming back and being welcomed back into debate. The arrangement made between all parties about the Indin Bill is a milestone in House of Commons history. If that mis- shaper, gigantic theasure should be carried through without the use of i "Closure" or "Guillotine," it will be an important, long step back to- wards the old characteristics of the House of Commons. It will mark
misuse of mechanical processes by return from the Continental both sides to that kind of "give and take" which even in the most strenuous periods of party war- fare distinguished the golden age of the House of Commons.
