LIBERAL LAND POLICY.
■ • (EFFECTS OF THE FAMOUS BUDGET. London, Thursday. The Government will reintroduce the Revenue Bill dropped last session. An amendent to the Address-in-Reply claiming that the 1909 Budget was undermining the security of house and land property was rejected by 300 to 213. Mr Lloyd George decclared that agricultural wages had been steadily increasing since 1909, that unemploy ment in the building trade had decreased, and that wages had increased. The debate was utilised as a means of heckling Mr Lloyd George on his land policy and was marked by much acrimony and uproar. The Speaker intervened during exchanges between Mr Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Agriculture; and Lord Hugh Cecil, Mr Runciman and Mr Walter Long, exChief Secretary for Ireland, and also reprimanded Lord Helrnßley for interfering with the debate with running comment.
