BRITISH POLITICS.

SPEECH BY MR. REDMOND. HOME RULE AND DISESTABLISH. MENT. By Telegraph—Press AEsociation-OopyricUt (Kec. April 23, 5.5 p.m.) London, April 22. Mr. Redmond, speaking at Holyheail, in Wales, declared that the people of Ireland and Wales were one on the great national issues. Wales might rely on tlio Irish party insisting on disestablishment ljoing carried during the present Parliament. He looked forward to the day when the thorny educational question would be settled by an agreement on national lines. Mr. Ellis Griffith (who presided) said next session would e«o Homo Rule and disestablishment through tho House of Common?, and thus enable both to come within the purview of the Parliament Bill and become law during the present Parliament. MESSAGE FROM ME. LLOYD-GEORGE. At the meeting of the Free Church Council in March the following message was road from Mr. Lloyd-George:— ''As to Welsh Disestablishment, there is no need for anxiety, not the slightest. I wish all our democratic proposals were as assured of fructification as that. 1 can understand and sympathise with the uneasiness. Wales has waited for 10 yoftrs. She will have to wait but a very little longer. When the Government betray their pledges to Wales that will be the' time to talk of revolt. They have not done so yefc and they do not mean to lay themselves open to that charge. It is therefore, unfair to use language of menace towards them which would imply that they are capable of such dishonour." THE VETO BILL. MR. ASQUITH'S ATTITUDE. London, April 21. The Unionist press says that Mr. As; quith's flat refusal to exclude anything from tho scope of the Veto Bill stamps him as a one-Chamber man, and blows away the pretences with which Lord Haldane and Sir Edward Grey salved, their constitutional consciences. Tho Liberal newspapers commend Mr. Asquith's strong attitude in his endeavour to secure fair play for Liberal legislation.
