SHALL OFFICERS RULE PARLIA MENT?

LONDON, Tuesday
The Daily Chronicle states that "it is useless for the Government to tell us that the officers di<l not strike. We all know they did. Their action raises tho. question: 'Arc army oflicers to dictate to Parliament what Bill shall not pass?' The evil will grow with tolerance. Not a few good judges think that if their places could be iilled by other officers who treat their profession more v seriously their revolt Avould be a blessing in disguise."
The "Chronicle's ,, lobby correspondent says that many Liberals disliked even the appearances of surrender to military influences. If the Government adopted an iron hand and sent the resigning ofiicers about their business it would have been much more agreeable to most of their supporters. The situation in Ireland has been badly handled. Colonel Seely has not covered himself with glory.
