THE VETO BILL

Mil BALFOUR'S ADVICE. "SUPPORT LORD LANS DOWN K." POSSIBILITIES OF TRAGEDY. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. "LONDON, July 26. Mr Balfour, in the course of a, letter to Lord Newton (who disapproved of the rejection of the Parliament Bill), says: "1 do not desire, to intervene in the affairs of the Upper House, but I think the majority of the Lords should support Lord Lansdowne. I agree with the- advice he bus given to his friends. With Lord Lansdowne. I stand, and with Lord Lansrlowno. I am ready, if need be, to fall. The. present- situation is grave, and even alarming, not- only because we r:re in the power of an unscrupulous revolutionary Govercm-mt, but because the ron! character of the p-ril is obscured by the controversy concerning t-'ctics. The clime of the Government is that, by rt gross misuse of the prerogative they have" made the Second Chamber powerless. Thev have imitate! Cromwell, without the excuse of lbs genius. Fighting in am- effective sense is impossible. The action of these refusing to follow Lord Lansdown does not resemble jtny .'■crio-ti- military opcr:i.tion. m-r does it require the exercise of any military virtue, it will be a misfortune if the present crisis leaves the House of herds weaker than the J'drliameiiL Hii! makes it. It will be an irrcparable tragedy if it leaves the. Fnkmi.Ves a divided party."
