On Friday week Mr. Boner Law addressed a. great meeting
in the Albert Hall, attended by 10,000 Unionists, including some sixty M.P.'s, with Mr. Walter Long in the chair. Mr. Boner Low, who had a great reception, dealt effectively with the Liberal Cabinet's downward progress, and contrasted the record of the two Prime Ministers—the extreme Liberal, who carried on the Government in a moderate way, and the moderate Liberal, who adopted a course of destructive violence. But the pace was too hot, and it must end soon either in the destruction of the Government or the ruin of the country. The Government, he went on, muzzled independent followers with peerages or jobs. They had got the Labour Party in their pocket and put themselves in the pocket of the Nationalists, playing Faust to the Mephistopheles of Mr. Redmond. The Ministerial changes effected in the recent transformation scene had put a premium on failure and incompetence.
