IMPERIAL POLITICS.
- SAMUEL BILL OF INDEMNITY. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] London, April 12. It is understood that the Government will introduce a Bill of indemnity to relieve Sir Stuart Samuel of liability to fines amounting to £46,500 for illegally participating in divisions.
MAJOR SANDYS’S BILL
London, April 12. During the debate on Mr G. J. Sandys’s Bill, Mr Seely stated that though the Territorials were 60,000 below their strength, the general staff considered the home force sufficient, as under the Balfour standard of 1905, to resist an invasion. The people would not have compulsion, and the Government would not adopt it. Mr Bonar Law insisted that there had been many changes since 1905. New needs required new measures. Lord Charles Beresford declared that the real danger was from air craft in war time, not from bombs, but from petrol cylinders firing the arsenals, dockyards, and barracks, and even the steel decks of battleships could be covered with fire.
