BRITISH POLITICS.

POSSIBLE NEW PARTY. LONDON, January 23. It is reported that when Parliament meets Lord Robert Cecil and Lord Hugh Cecil, exercising their rights as Privy Councillors, will take seats on the front Opposition bench. This will be the first serious attempt to consolidate all the Opposition parties. The Observer states that if any countercoalition of this kind is successful in the next few years Lord Robert Cecil will oe Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary. There is nothing qnite comparable to this since Gladstone at the age of 50 joined the Liberals. The writer adds that Mr Churchill’s new position will in every way strengthen the Cabinet and himself in executive vigour and driving power. As the head of a great department he has no superior, but if it indeed falls to him to deal with the self-governing dominions he will require, above all, judgment and tact. Tt is far more important for him to know what they are thinking than to tell them what he is thinking.
