Parliament Summoned.
LONDON, December l9.-The morning
papers officially announce that Psrls-
ment will meet January l7th. 1t is
stated that tho cabinet hsS decided 10 ask
Parliament To vote n grant of money FOR
such increase OF the British army IA the
state Of Europe demands.
The Post in its leader toreshsdOws y
grant Tor military preparations, and
after reviewing the rumors which have
been current oil late concerning the re-
ported arrangement between Russia and
Turkey, saws: "To make Englsnd's
words heard, TO make mediation re-
spected or intervention effective, II IA
necessary to appeal 10 the representative
OF the nation for support. We
cannot entertain tho slightest doubt
that Parliament will not only
readily accord whatever moneys are
necessary 10 put the national strength IN
q condition for active efficiency, but will
heartily lndorse policy IN accordance
with the true interests of peace and the
noblest traditions OF the country. IL IL
certain that the Cabine. Is united in IT.
resolve, and with the opening OF the new
year we shall see the inception OF clear
and national policy.
The Standard in a leader explains that
the victory OF the Russians Is not tho
cause of the summoung OF Psrlismen',
but the license which II given 10 Russia
By Germany and Austria 10 use the VIC.
tory in her own way. This ls what con.
stitutes the danger to British interests.
England can never consent 10 the quar-
rel being arranged on these terms. She

peace being made directly between the
beligerents She claims n voice IN the
settlement, and it is that she may be
prepared to insist on that voice that the
government ia adopting these measures
which Parliament will be invited u
sanction
The Times deprecstcs too much im-
portsnce being attached TO tho carly
summoning of Parliament, and points L.
the numerous instances in which the Cab
inets aCLIon has been misintsrpreted,
even by its own supporters, as for in
stance the sending Of the feet 20 Bessiks
Bay. If any previous Cabinet had sum.
moned Parliament this early, the natural
inference would have been that they
were about 10 demand grant money 70
support some step taken by the Queen,
on the advice OF her ministers.
The Times thinks that such con-
- III 10 g. - ~
vance OF the truth. Parliament will
not meet 70 enforce resolution that hss
been formed by the ministers, but, more
probably, 70 spare the ministers the
trouble Of forming resolution. By the
time Parliament meets, the government
will, perhaps be able 20 show that our
interests are in some way attacked, but
tor the present the country, however ir-
rItsted AZ Russian ambition and Servisn
treason, cannot believe itself IN any
danger.
The DAILY N>1s saws it cannot help

dsmBIty tor something actually done
than 90 consult It a. 10 his future policy.
