BRITISH DEMOCRACY

What of the outcome of the
January election? If the Liberals
are defeated so badly that the re-
dictionaries in the Commons are
in majority over the Liberal and
the Irish and the Labor parties,
when the new Parliament assem-
bles in the latter days of January,
the probabilities are that taxes
will be imposed upon the food of
the people instead of the land
values of the aristocracy and the
plutocracy.
If the majority of the three par
ties against the reactionaries
should be small, no one can posi-
bly, predict the outcome. The
only prediction reasonably certain
in that case is that the new Par
Lament would not last long. But
the ultimate result might be either
more progressive or more reaction
airy, and no one can foretell which.
IF, however, the Liber ais come
back with decisive majority, it
may be predicted safely, not only
that the Budget will be insisted
upon, but that the House of Lords
will be constrained to acknowledge
by formal statute that any meas
ures passed by the Commons and
vetoed by the Lords, shall be law
if the Commons passes it a second
time. In other words, the COM
mon purpose of the three progress
sive parties of Great Britain now
contesting the elections there
Liberal, Irish, and Labor-is to
substitute suspensory for the
plenary veto, as the sole legislative
function of the House of Lords.
The House of Lords might there
after advise on legislation, but its
power to defy the popular and res
ponsible legislative chamber would
be at an end.-The Public.
