m4nd for a0 enquiry. Before the DEBATE
began Yesterday, Mr.. Macdonald rose to
make a personal explanation, He admit
ted that when he said last week he was not
consulted about the withdrawal OF the
prosecution, he went further than he
should have done, inasmuch as his words
implied that he did not know about the
case, whereas he was informed of all the
facts on August 9Th. The Attorney Gen
eraI yesterday told the full story. When
the sediti0us article was brought TO his
n0licl ne Instructed the prosecution OF
the editor responsible, without knowing
who the editor was. He after wards
learned that a man called Campbell was
arrested. Then questions were asked IN
the House Of Commons on August 9th,
he sent for Mr.. James MaXon, one Of the
GLASGOW M. PS. who knew Campbell per
sonaIiy. What Mr.. MaXon said about
Camp5elPs war record and physical dlsa-
biilies convinced the Attorney General
that /. would be a great mistake to put
Campbell jn the dock. The whole cues
II4n vas ,npa talked over with the Pre-
miaY and othpr ministers. The Premier
sand ana prosecution snouid not have
been started. Inc Attorney General
said be would withdraw it, not because
dlIT w. tAAAlil0A1A f1CA5A-A ~ ~ ~ 49,
s~oaalIy involved ID the case, or because
a section of the I4abOur Party threatened
to revolt, but Simply because he thought
that making a martyr Of Campbell would
do more harm than good. The Attorney
Generals narrative yesterday carried
conviction. H. may be considered to
have been uncaudld IN previous state
ments. The original prosecution and the
subsequent withdrawal may both have
been badly advised, but there was never
ANYTHING dishOnOurable in his conduct.
Nor either any ground for suggesting
that the Premier had personal reasons
for withdrawing the prosecution. The
withdrawal was decided on before the
Ministers knew the Communists lnten-
ti0ns, but Mr.. Macdonald has been dis
covered in |Quibbling and eVasIveness,
which has damaged his reputation.
London, Oct. 9lh-Events following
the Governments defeat last night have
moved with quite unusual expedition.
The Prime Minister early today obtained
ROYAL assent to the dissolution OF Parila-
ment, which was prorOgued with usual
for . titles tonight and Immediately dis
solved by the Kings proclamation, the
Privy Council, for these fOrmalItIes,
meeting at the unusual hour OF seven
O'Clock in the evening. The King, as
always, omitted no courtesy IN meet
ing the Lablur Premier's wishes. The

selves as on 9 wave OF popularity and
therefore considered it advisable to
hasten the election TO the utmost. To
achieve this ed they even sacrificed the
pet labOurite idea OF holding the cleo
lions on Saturday, when the workers
have more leisure to record their votes.
The date has been fixed for Wednesday
Oct. 29ih. This choice was only possible
through the House of Lords adopting the
Irish Bill unamended. Lord Carson. in
the Upper House today proposed an am
endment requiring that the bill should
only become operative when ratified by
the Ulster Parliament, but he consented
to withdraw the amendment on the rep
resentation that it would delay the bill
and cause a conflict with the House Of
Commons. Lord Salisbury. In the course
OF he debate, frankly confessed that such
a cor fIict between the Lords and Com
mons would prove a very bad election.
So far as the elections are concerned,
therefore, Ireland is out of the picture.
There IS, in tact, no great question TO
place before the electors. All The parties
admit tlat the Campbell case Is not a
question for aa appeal to the country,
hence the Conservatives and Liberals
will thrust forward the question Of a qua.

ministratious failure effectively to deal
with unemployment will figure largely
in the Conservative and Liberal at
lacks on th LabOur candidates, through
heirg emily a minority government, to
cary out their full plans Tor deal
ing with tins problem. Mr.. Macdonald
and his party are convinced that the
real motive Of the Conservative and Lib
eral parties in forcing the elections was
growing jealousy of the success Of
the I.ahour Administration especially
in foreign affairs IN which it had been
confidently expected labOur would make
it a greatest failure. lhe LabOurites,
therefore, believe that their record in
this respect will be sufficient to carry
them on a victorious tide and that the
quicker the elections are fought, the great
