“Let Them Look Out”
“In the chancel of Tewkesbury Abbey I puce came across a stone to one of , the barons of Magna Charta, on which was carved the words, ‘Magna Charta is the law, and let the King look out,’ “So .it has always been with tyrants with our people. It has always been the same and will be, whether the tyrants be barons, the Church, demagogues or Let them look out. “It is often said to-day that the Parliamentary system has failed. After all, ours are the only countries where parliamentary government has grown. “Whatever failures may have come tp it in countries which have not our traditions, that is no proof that it has failed. “When it has failed in our Empire, then it will be time to acknowledge the failure of the system.”—Mr. Stanley Baldwin.
