IMPERIAL POLITICS.
THE WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT BHiL. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, April 26. The Welsh Disestablishment BiT! passed the first reading by 331 votes to 253. Mr. Harwood voted with the Opposition, and 68 Nationalists supported the Government. Air. Lloyd George 6aid the wrong Wales felt was that England imposed its church on them as the exponent of Welsh spiritual life. Mr. Lloyd George aroused the Oppositionists' anger by stating that twothirds of the property of the churches at the time of the reformation went to laymen to bribe them to sell their faith. Those enjoying endowments to-day called him a thief because he tried to take a halfpenny in the pound. Lord Robert Cecil: This is not Limehouse. Mr. Lloyd-George: I thought I should get home. Lord Hugh Cecil: The suggestion that my family received church lands is offensive and untrue. Mr. Harwood, a Liberal, has* given notice that he will move the rejection of the Welsh Disestablishment Bill. Mr. Marks withdrew his Bill for the settlement of the education difficulty, owing to the strong opposition it received.
