The bill was Immediately sent to
the House OF Lords aud given its first
reading. The second reading will be
taken in the House OF Lords at once.
The fact that the minority against
the bill was virtually only a third of
its first reading is considered a great
triumph for Premier Asquith and for
Andrew Bomar-Law, who directed Its
course. and although the debate show
ed that many labor members are still
suspicious there is no doubt that gen.
eral opposition TO the measure has d.
minished enormously since its intro
duction. and that the feeling of the
country is strongly with the govern
ment.
Mr.. Bonar-Law, in his speech wind
ing up the debate. remarked on the
wonderful change since the first read
ing of the bill, which, he said, was
compromise between those who
thought that it went not far enough
and those who believed II went too
far.
The government accepted an amend
ment that capital punishment should
not be inflicted for refusal to obey
