PARLIAMENT BILL TO BE MADE LAW. GOVERNMENT'S PLEDGES. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright, LONDON, 4th February. Mr. Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, speaking at Bristol, said the country's finance could not wait, but subject to that the Government's business would be to make the Parliament Bill law. It would be the main, dominant, and, if necessary, the only business of the session. There were all sorts of things which must b© talked over hereafter, such as Welsh disestablishment and Home Rule for Ireland. They were pledged to these measures 1 and they were essential to secure the goodwill and peace of these islands. It was Britain's business, he said, to wish Canada well in her enterprises. Let her make the best bargain she could. They could say to Canada : "Do the best you can for yourself and your glorious country. We will do the best we can for our old crowded country, requiring wheat from wherever we can get it."
