THE HOUSE OF LORDS

i | —— ♦ - COMMONS FOR ABOLITION OK VETO. LONDON. Xovembcr -I*. Sn 1 1. Campbell-Rannerman wrote I to the emergency meeting on the , Education Bill that the measure as j amended by the House of Lords was of mi use t,i them or to the Country. J It was apparent that the House of i Lords had presumed to kuo\, the country's mind better than the country or the House of Commons i did. i The Prime .Minister's letter eon- ; tinned: " On one thing you must rest assured —we can have no tampering i with the main principles of the bill. ! If within those limits and without i injury to education an arrangement ! is possible, well and good : if not. it I is for us to see in connection with : this and other questions whether a way is to be found whereby the wishes i of the country can he made to prevail | and the battle will continue until the : House of Lords is greatly modified | or annihilated." A resolution was passed amidst a scene of enthusiasm urging the abolition during the present Parliament of the veto of the House of Lords.
