On Wednesday the Cabinet decided to adopt the Betting Bill

as a Government measure. The threat of the Opposition to obstruct all business in the House will have to be faced and overcome. We publish elsewhere an article on the Bill which was written before the Cabinet of Wednesday and here we need only express our pleasure at the Government's decision. It is incompre- hensible to us that so many Labour Members and Liberals should resist a sure method of ridding the Turf of a mass of cheats and ruffians. They are allying themselves with the worst type of bookmakers.
