IMPERIAL POLITICS.
WELSH CHURCH DISESTABLISHMENT. PROPOSED MONETARY CONFERENCE. [Special to Press Association.] LONDON. Ebb. 26. Mr Asquith decribes the Disestablishment Bill as intended for the purpose of devoting funds to really religious objects, relieving the suffer-, ing, ministering to the sick and refining influences for home workers. The Home Secretary claims that the measure met the demand put forward by a vast majority of the Welsh people. Feb. 27. Sir W. V. Harcourt refuses to grant time this session to discuss the Miners’ Eight Hours Bill. The House of Commons, without dissent, agreed to a motion urging the Government to co-operate with the Great Powers in convening an international monetary conference. Sir W. V. Harcourt accepted the motion, as it did not identify the Government with bi-metallism, which he strongly opposed. Tho Times regrets that Sir W. V. Harcourt’a fear of defeat compelled his acceptance of the motion. The Daily News concurs in the attitude adopted by Sir W. V. Harcourt.
