We have dealt with the protests made in the House
of Commons on Wednesday against the intellectual dishonesty, to give it no harder name, involved in a Conservative and Centre Party led by a man of advanced Liberal views such as his entourage proclaim Mr. Lloyd George to be. An even stronger protest against this ill-emencd puede' was the luncheon in honour of the Die-Hard members of the Houses of Parliament which was held in the Connaught Rooms on Wednesday. Lord AmpthiH, who was in the chair, made an excellent speech After quoting Disraeli's -epigram that the history of suceoss was the history of the minorities, he made the sound as well as wary happy point that the Die-Hards' movement is not a revolt but a rally ; " a rally to those principles of Conservatism which must be maintained at all times as the necessary safeguard against decadence, decay, anarchy and ruin." A. Conservative. element in the State was admittedly necessary and it was never more necessary than now. A restoration of true Liberalism was equally necessary. " He wanted both historic Parties re-established on the foundation of their own principles. Parliamentary Government made. Party Gdvernment necessary."
