ARSON FOR ARGUMENT
THE CAMPAIGN OP VIOLENCE. LOBD HUGH CECIL SARCASTIC. Referring to the campaign of violence, mistaking arson for argument, Mr Harcourt said that the suffragettes attempted to burn the children's wing of his home, and that was a type of their mental balance. Mr Harcourt said that ho disliked a referendum, but it -was a possible solution of the difficulty. He declared that if once the principle of women's suffrage were conceded, he would support adult suffrage, which was the only logical course. Lord Hugh Cecil stated that Mr Harcourt's speech was the most damaging against the Government he had ever heard. His antipathy to the Bill suggested that he had been recently spanked, and had never got over the indignity of being .born of woman. (Laughter.) Lord Cecil commented on the fun that Ministers must have had at the Cabinet meetings lately.
