LONDON, Nov. 10. Reciprocal News
SerYice.)-That Lloyd George is turn
ing the country into a republic and
himself into president by breaking one
of h dearest constitutional traditions
OF the house of commons, is a charge
whch a been frequently heard in the
Hobbies since parliament reassembIed.
1t is a long recognized practice, and
therefore constitutional that the prime
minister should sit in the house of
commons and answer questions that are
addressed to him. Lloyd George broke
with this practice during the war, and
members excused him then because Of
the obvious extraordinary demands
upon his time and the need Of frequent
excursions to France. When the new
parliament met early in the year an at1
tempt was made to pledge him to re-
sumo the constitutional practice on his
return from Paris. When parliament

reassembled last month one Of the first
matters Of protest was his continued
absence from the treasury bench. Bonar
Law, ia his absence official leader of
the house, was asked when the prime
minister would return TO his place.
During n quaTter-hour visit to the
house the prime minister was directly
questioned regarding his intentions in
the matter. He replied suavely that
the demands on his time outside the
house were as great as ever and that
members must excuse him from at
tendance for some time vet. Would
he put in an appearance twice a week,
one member asked? Once a week,
suggested another, amid derisive cheers.
Lloyd George only shook his head al
these attempts to pin him down to any
observance at all Of the traditional
practice.
