THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
The Democratic Will The principle that the representative of Britain may not commit the country unreservedly without consulting Parliament, and thus deferring to the popular will, had its most striking illustration in the persistent refusal of Sir Edward Grey to commit Britain to any specific affairs before the Great War came; and the pathetic appeals made by the French Government to Britain and to our King during the last hours of pence to state definitely their intentions in ease of a European war, prove positively that even in a great national crisis the will of the British people must prevail. —Auckland Star.
