BRITISH POLITICS.
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) , Received April 12, 9.35 a.m. LONDON, April 11. Mr O'Brien declares he will meet Mr Lloyd-George's astounding denial on the floor of the House. Mr Lloyd-George, replying to a question in the House of Commons, stated he hoped the resolution legalising the income tax would be passed on the 18th. An active campaign against the veto is being carried on by the Liberals in London. Many meetings were held in the parks at the week-end, and others are. being arranged. It is proposed to secure a largely-signed petition to the Premier supporting his action. Twenty anti-veto demonstrations were held in Devonshire on Saturday. Lord Ampthill, speaking at Bedford, said the Government of the country was in the hands of unscrupulous and adventurous demagogues, so puffed up with pride of place that they were willing to put the constitution into the melting pot and play the devil with the finances in order to throw the onus of the resulting chaos on the House of' Lords.
