ENCE.lSIJ,s CRtSiS.

With coronation week over The Brl-
fish House of I.olGs was the first body
TO turn 10 the serious work OF con
sidering tho parliament bill. One
week has been enough TO show how
matters stand. 1t is to Ge seen that
they are much the same as they we're
before the adjournment. The govern
men, does not show sign of accepting
any of Lansdowue's amendments, and
neither the government nor the oppo-
silion shows any signs Of willingness; 10
compromise.
Again Yesterday there was talk Of
vet another appeal to tie country ior
dissolution Of parliament III July and
general election in August. Probably
no step would be more unpopular with
the country itself. But if-the lords re-
fuse to swallow the bill and the govern
ment stands firm, NJ other course seems
open unless it takes step from which
il naturally shrnks-that is, the Great
ing OF 500 ntw peers to swamp the
present House Of Lords. Some OF the
upionist papers, such as the Times,
nrofess to believe that there is great
change Of opinion with regard to
unionist prospects at the next election
but the more general opinion is that
| another election will simply strengthen
the government in the House OF Com,
| mons.
| Taking this view the spectator
| plead pathetically for the opposition
to swallow the bill and declares that
''pressure Of radical opinion outside
holds the government and its allies IN
so tight grip that there is not the
,lightest chance OF penctratiog the
phalanx, but the moment that The
parliament bill passes pressure Will De
relaxed. What is now an unbroken
line will become one OF gaps and
breaks through which the unionist at
tack can get home.
But the English people do not yet
seem to realize that they face polt:'
ral situation OF the first magnitude.
Popular opinion still seems unstirred
and not even the closing paragraph OF
| fhe kings letter to the people has been
appreciated in It's full significance. But
there are sieas that it will be used as q
test. None can doubt what vas pass
| ing in the kings mind when be wrote
Whatever perplexities and difficulties
NAV lie before ne and my people. Te
shall unite in facing them resolutely
and calmly, confident that under Divine
guidance the ultimate outcome will os
to the common good. !"
