The form of the debate was the proposing and the

final rejection of two amendments to the Address, the first from the Labour Party on Friday, February 16th, and last Saturday, and the second from the combined Liberals on Monday. The Labour amendment was general, calling for all-round cancellation of War debts and a " League Policy," the Liberal particular asking for a reference of the Ruhr question to the League. Thus assailed, the Government put out their best debating strength, and in the first instance Mr. Baldwin, and in the second Mr. Bonar Law himself, stood to their posts to " repel boarders."
