Mr. Bonar Law, Leader of the Opposition,, addressing a meoting of tlie Unionist- Party leaders on the Government's proposal regarding the Irish and Welsh Bills, said the UnionistsWould'continue to support tho Government in the national crisis.

The adjournment was carried. Lord Lausdowne formally moved the second reading of the Legislation Suspension During the War Bill The Earl of Crowe announced that the Government would not assent to the Bill, which passed all its stages. Suspension Dill. In the House of Commons, Mr. Asquith', in introducing the Suspension Bill, denied that the Go\ernment was taking 'advantage of tho national emergency. It had been the , Govern-, ment's intention not to place Homo Rule on the Statute Book until the Amending Bill was disposed of, but tho war rendered it impossible to discuss tho Amending Bill this' session. The Opposition's proposal to suspend the Home Rule Bill would place it at the mercy of a chapter of accidents. The Government, therefore, proposed to suspend the operation of tho Act for a minimum of twelve months, or until tho cessation of the war, and would intro-'-duce the Amending Bill next session. Mr. Bonar Law, Leader of the Opposition, regretted tho renewal 'of the discussion, and declared the limit in the suspensory Bill was altogether inadequate. The Government had broken its solemn 'pledges. (At this-, stage a number of Radicals, created a scene by walking out of the House.) Mr. Bonar Law, m conclusion, said the proper course was to postpone the controversy until the crisis was over. ■ 'The Unionists walked out of the 1 House when, Mr. Bonar Law, had finished. > !
