Show Will England Co On Record? The session of the British Parliament which began be-gan today will be a most important one. It has been hinted in dispatches from London for some time that the English Government would take advantage advan-tage of the opportunity to go xn record as protesting protest-ing against the policy of Germany in connection with the Venezuelan blockade and the methods resorted re-sorted to in maintaining it. Great Britain has scored the Kaiser's henchmen, in an unofficial way, for the sinking of the Venezuelan warshif s and the bombardment of several coast towns. Now that Parliament ' is in session the English Government has an avenue opened to it to officially deny responsibility respon-sibility for the outrages perpetrated by its ally in this debt collecting expedition and to officially disavow dis-avow sympathy with the German Emperor's policy. But will England have the courage to take the stand in public which it has assumed behind the doors of the diplomatic quarters? It is dollars to cents that the diplomats will rule and the Government Govern-ment will not go on record in the matter. But aside from this question important issues will come before Parliament. The first business after the de bate on the address in reply to the King's speech will be the completion o fthe new rules of procedure. proce-dure. It is believed that the way will be cleared for the introduction of the Irish land bill immediately after the budget, but the London education bill will not be laid before the House until after the Easter holidays. The Guards scandal, which is exciting public. interest to an unusual degree just now, is almost certain to be discussed at an early date. Bromley Davenport, member for Macclesfield, has announced his intention to ask for the rehabilitation of Col. Kinlooh as a much injured officer who knew nothing of the abuses occurring In his regiment. The Government will probably appeal to the House and justly, too, to leave the affair absolutely in the hands of Lord Roberts. |
