THE GOVERNMENT'S MAJORITY
MR JOHN BURNS' OPINION
(Received Last Night, 10.30 o'clock.)
LONDON, January 11
The Right Hon. John Burns, President of the Board of Trade, speaking at Battersea, said it was idle, childish, and almost cowardly for the Opposition, to say that tho Government's majority was not big enough. Eighteen per centum was a good dividend in trade.- Eighteen of a majority in the House of Commons was equally good business. The last elections had destroyed the Lords' Veto, and the. pretensions of the Tariff Reformers, had dealt a serious blow at conscription, and was the great-, est rebuff to the vulgar, lying, sensational. Press.
