The leading Unionist papers deplore that the House of Commons did not rise above partisanship.

The Daily Mail says that the debate should have ended when Sir Rufus Isaacs and Mr Lloyd George confessed their error and quitted the House.

Some Unionist papers regard Mr Bonar Law’s rejection of Mr Adkins’s compromise as a mistake.
