THE PARLIAMENT BILL. UPPER HOUSE NOT ABOLISHED. BUT .WILL OF THE NATION TO PREVAIL. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. LONDON, 27th January. Sir J. A. Simon, Solicitor-General, in a speech at Braintree, Essex, said the Parliament Bill to be introduced by the Government was definite and precise. It did not involve the abolition of the Second Chamber, but its submission to the deliberate and reiterated will of tho nation. The referendum had a democratic air, but it involved Connemara peasants voting on English education, and it would destroy the responsibility of members of Parliament, of Ministers, and cjt the Crown. UNCONSTITUTIONAL. COERCIVE CREATION OF PEERS. LONDON, 27th January. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, speaking at Birmingham, declares it was unthinkable that the House of Lords^ would pass the Parliament Bill, and it would be unconstitutional for the Government to advise the creation of Peers to coerce them. IRELAND'S CLAIM. MUST BE SATISFIED IMMEDIATELY. LONDON, 27th January. Mr. J. E. Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalist party, in a magazine article, declines to assent to the postponement of Home Rule until England, Scotland, and Wales want Parliaments.
