could not answer him effectively Indeed there
was only one man the front Government
bench who was capable Of replying 20 him; he
took copious notes and then silent.
This was. Of course. Mr.. Chamberlain the best
debater in the House. His speeches the Edu-
cation bill have been made outside Of the Com
mons. and have been chiefly remarkable for the
chilliness with which he has advocated or de-
Tended the Government policy. If he has been
interested in this particular measure he has been
most artful in conceang his feeling. In I'll"
crisis OF the fortunes Of the bill he has virtually
declared that 1t did not matter one atom 10 the
Government whether the scheme carried out
or set aside. During the debate on Monday
night his face was inscruta5le as that of
sphinx. He may have shared the feeling Of NOR
tifcatior which pervad ii the Government
benches. and then again. he may have been
amused by the display OF amateur leadership.
He took part in the proceedings and seemed
to be bored with what going on in the House.
II he were in command Of the Cnionist forces
it is safe TO assume that the bishops and clerical
patrons of the religious schools would have little
to expect from him He might introduce cld-age
pensions and other forms Of diluted state Social
ism. but he would not lie awake nights over the
voluntary schools. He would also unquestion-
ably prove himself TO be tactician capable or
keeping his followers out Of the ditch and on
high ground.
Liberal critics are undoubtedly premature
when they assert that II has been made clear
during the discussion of the Education bill that
what a good many Conservatives want is not
simply new measure. but new Government.
MI Balfour is liked personally. and his followers
have not vet deserted him. But majority so
large as that which now overcrowds the Gov
eminent benches requires stronger control IMAM
a narrower one with the parties closely balanced
in power. Mr. Balfour's weakness as leader
has been disclosed The Cnionists nave hot
