PEERS AND PEOPLE.
POLITICIANS' VIEWS. By Telegraph. —Press Association. —Copyright Received January 27, 10 p.m. London, Yesterday Mr J. Redmond, in a magazine article, declines to assent to the postponement of Home Rule until England, Scotland and Wales want respective Parliaments. He says nationalists do not object to federalism as an ultimate aim, but they replied they must have the Constitution amended. Mr Joseph Chamberlain, at Birmingham, declared it was unthinkable the Lords would pass the Parliament Bill It would be unconstitutional tor the Government to advise the creation of peers to coerce them. Mr J. A. Simon, M.P., speaking at Braintrel, said the Government Bill was definite and precise. It did not involve the abolition of the Second Chamber, but its submission to the deliberate and reiterated will of the nation. A referendum had a democratic air, but it involved Connemara peasants voting on English education. It would destroy the responsibility of members of Parliament and Ministers of the Crown.
