Parliament has never con ducted itself with greater dignity and good sense than when Mr. LLOYD GEORGE throw down the gauntlet and declared that if his proposals were not made law he would resign. The objections to weakening or defeating the Government during the hurricane, on the Western Front were so obvious that we must be thankful that the

But it certainly was a mistake to take a plunge into the Trish bog when the undivided energy of the War Cabinet and of Parliament was needed for grappling with the situation in Franes and Flanders. Only a day or two ago, Mr. Lloyd Gronce admitted that the Dominions are convinced that British statesmen are trenting Ireland clumsily and tactlessly; while Mr. T. 3.
