What is likely to be the course of events is

that the Govern- ment will, to begin with, only agree to a portion of the Lords' amendments. Then the Lords, in order to save the face of the Cabinet, will probably accept certain modifications of their original amendments and send them back to the Commons, possibly as new clauses. In the very heat resort these modified amendments will be passed by general agreement-- if necessary over the head of Mr. Redmond—an arrange- ment which will give him ample excuse for saying that he has only yielded to force vsajeure. If practically the whole House, except the Nationalists and a small section of extreme Radicals, are in agreement, "the inevitable," to which all men must bow, will have been reached.
