BRITISH POLITICS.
PEOPLE AND THE LORDS.
GREAT CHANCE FOR WRITTEN CONSTITUTION. Received December 9, 8.40 a.m. LONDON, December 8. The Right Hon. Emmot (Chairman of Ways and Means in the House of Commons), speaking at Oldham, said the present was a great chance to have a written Constitution. They might add something like a reftren • dum, or a method whereby the people would be able to give a eirect mandate. RE-HASH 01?" STATE COBDEN ISM.
Received December 9, 10.50 p.m. LONDON. December 9.
The Hon. G. Wyndham (Conservative M.P. for Dover) speaking at the Constitutional Club, declared the real question underlying the Government's threat agairst the Lords was whether electorates were to be committed to the uolicy of the Budget and against tariff refom without having an opporunity of saying which they preferred. The policy of tariff reform alone assured the Empire a means of meeting urgent needs of defence, employment and unity, he could hardly call the Budget a policy —it was a re-hash of State Cobdenism spiced with a little Socialistic seasoning.
