THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY. By Cable—Press Associal ion—Copy right. Loiulon, March 2!). In the House of Lords, Lord Boauchamp, First Commissioner of Works, resumed the debate on the Referendum Bill. He quoted instances where, he said, the referendum had failed, notably in Australia, where the Labor Ministry had reversed the vote taken by the referendum, and in Canada, where 23 per cent, had voted for prohibition. The referendum debate has been adjourned indefinitely. It is understood that the Government will announce tomorrow that it will not oppose the House of Lords' discussion of its own reform, but will claim priority for the Veto Bill, relying on the majority in the House of Commons to carry its policy. THE BUDGET. Received 31, 12.40 a.m. London, March 30. There was great cheering in the House of Commons when the Premier (Mr. Asquith) announced that the Budget would be presented soon after Easter.
