ITIIE UUDDERSFIELD HUMBUG.
TIIE UUDDERSFIELD HUMBUG. "Gamble in whatever else you please, but d,) lijot gamble in human life," Sir Edward Carson said, addre-itsinig- the Government in the ppeetih which ho delivered in the Hoaise of Commons immediately before leaving for Lister. The admonition was particuiao-ly appropriate to Mr Lloyd George, who liasteaied to show his contempt for the scruple recom- mended to him as a restraint. He is jinablo to meet the eaSe for the people of Ulieter fairly, so, at a. critical mcnien't, w hen every nran of good NCUSO and good feeling im the country was anxicas to yeo the way cleared at the kfct moment for peace, Mr Llovd George by his speech at Hudderafieid on Saturday did his utmost to dari-etn counsel and enibitte<r feeiing by trying to introduce a "class-wax' atmosphere into the Irish conr troversy and prejudice the minds of great miinibeiTS of hia fellow-country men aigaiaist the Ulster community by misrepresentation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is a discredited rwiitieiaji, a,nd we do not thioLb he will regain hw mfluenco in a country which honesty a.nd eonnnon.-ciLSd by further flight" of rhetorical fake accusiation. His ptrevious class-war "cruisade, cominxcmced at Lime- Loutse, was undertalvcn to secure acceptanco of the Land Taxes of the "Pecp.Ie'a Btidget" which liave not benefited a single ssoul in the land except tho officials appointed to assess and collect them, have thrown a heavy annual loss on the taxpayers, and 'have agg-ravated the housing difficulty throughout the country and especially in the rural districts by check- ing- enterprise in the building tracLe. The Chancellor ahvayH presumes ignorance in his hearers and sets himself to play upon the ignorance ho attributes to them. jlit3 I)rincip,al axtil" is sianplicit-y itself and COJI- siists in denounciag a,nyciie ivlio opposes his will a.9 an eju?my of the people, so that the nation is always divid-ed into two classes, according to Mr LLoyd -irt-,e-tbe friends of the people who are willing to swallow with- out question anythi,n,g and evorythinig he oonds them, to pay for his legislation and endure its uniia-Lmoaa and abtiurditics without myr- mairinig and to be alx^olutely sabmissive to hio autocratic ruJe; and the e-nemiets of the demooracy who dare to say tiaat Mr Lloyd George, like the rest of us, is liable to err, ami who wish to see justic-e amd reaton jjupreme over the Chancellor of the Exchequer and not the Chancellor cf the Exchequer supircme over justice and reason. At Hndders- fielid, Mr Lloyd George represented the re- otance of Ulster to Home Rule as the out- come of a conspiracy Gf. dukes, lawyers, and the "idle rich." It required the effrontery of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to pTodiuco thin travesty. Ul«te.T iq a small province in- habited by a notably shrewd, vigomiw, and industrious community. The Protestants of ITl-ter, all told, number 890,880. It is ad- mitted that the Ulster Loyalist's have raised a force of more than 100,000 volunteers. To class this as an array raised by the "idle rich" is an effort of extravaganza that is not likely to deceive many even of the most credulous people in Britain. Tho farmers, artiwaJiet, and labourers in the of tho Ulster Army re- present a democracy ready to light for the presOTvation of civil and reliigio.u.s liberty againwfc men who hate liberty iu both those forms, and against a gross usurpatioii cf power and abuse of tru&t on tli.c part of Mr LJoyd George and his colleagues. Tho ChanceEor of the Exchequer endea- voured to add force to his arguments by talk- ing about a Unionist conspiracy to set at naught Liberal legislation and introduce a doctrine of "optional obedience." This its SUdl a. gross absurdity that even Mr Lloyd George can hardly think his audiences igno- rant enough to be impre.-sscd by it. The Unionist Tarty strongly objected to the People's Budget." but when the nation signi- fied acceptance of it, Unionists bowed to the nation's will. There was no danger cf civil strife 3.,bout the Budget. The whole nation resents the inadequacy, crudeness, aad inel)ti- tudo of Mr Lloyd and the vast majority of people of all classes are called upon to pay weekly for the upkeep a system which is admittedly approaching; breakdown and insolvency, but there has been no menace of civil war about the Imraraoica Act. The Unionist Party regards the tho spoliation of the Weit^li Church as a prooé po-sal to conremt the State to a most crueJ: and insensate robbenxy. But thciv is no orga.nisation to oppose this Liberal measure by force cf arm, LMjeral candidates are ra&ver tired of diilating on the array of Liberal Acts, infin.tcly Ixjwdioent, according1 to tihean, which tiliciir Pa-rty has placed on too Statute Book within living memory. Wheal have a.ny of these brought armed resistance to the Government witiian sight? The people of this country are resolved to maintain re- tpect for Law, but now, as in Tudor audi Stuart days, they will for conscience saka. C<)ll<tt any human authority—even Mr Red- mond's. I'lin-t is why trouble has been brew- ing in U stcr. The means of resistance must; bo appropriate to the menace to be met, and the consequences of resistance are determined by the nature of the matter in hand. The passive registers who have opposed, and still oppose, the Education Act of the last Unions it Goverijmenit do not think it necessary to carry their resistance beyond a, refusal" to meet certain demands of the tax collector, and' they are ready to face tho consequences of their defiance of the law. Mr Lloyd- Georga himself has been a passive resie-jtcr, and ia the case cf Education he even regarded af right the doctrine of ''otptional obedience."
I AN AMAZING WEEK
I AN AMAZING WEEK Tho present week has been one of the moat remarkable in the history of British politics, the oui&caiiding feature being thei expoaua-y of a plot by which a clique i.i the Caoiuet sougiit to force the Prime Minister's hand in his treatment of the Irish crisis, to overbear the. judgment of their more honourable collea-gues by preparing and accomplishing a national disaster that would destroy lreeoom of action in the determina- tion of Ministerial policy and commit the nation to civil war throughout the Kingdom, not only without the authority of the people, but in deiiiti-ice of the rights and wishes of the head of the Government and his more no nest associates in the Cabinet. The con- spiracy was organised by Mr Winston Churchill. Mr Lioyd George, and Colonel Seely, was frustrated by the straightforward asd manly action of the officers who had been designated as the instruments for the coup d'etat, and resulted in tho resignation of the Secretary for War, which, however, the Prwne Alxaiister did not accept, because lie dare not. There is nothiiiig to be. surprised at in th fact that they were ready a.nd willing to tL-A the Army to coerce Ulister; surprise at such action is iinpo&>ibic in the face of the in- tiamatory speeches of Mr Winston ChurchilJ and the deciaraticn of Mr Lloyd George at Muddersfieid that tho Government were pre. pared to carry their determination to "the last hazard. Nobody could imagine that to mean anything but the nazard of war, ana certain it is that it was so read by the Ukter- men and the Army. The warlike preparations and movements of troops only confirmed the belief, and the denials made in the House od any such intention were too ridiculous to be taken seriously. Tho attempt to dragoon the loyalists was in itself a criminal! blunder againist Ulster and against the whole country, and, what is more, it was a criminal blunder agaimst the Army. It is deplorable that the fightrng services should bo dragged into ques- tions of pure politics and that officers should be given the summary choice of sacrificing their military careers and prospect.'Y-oorœrll ii many instances of long and honourable service against the country's enemies—or oj playing a part contradictory to all the dic- tates of their honour and their conscience. This matter of religion is a difference that lias been ignored or unseen by the Labour Party and these Liberals who pretend that the oiffcers who preferred to resign wcrq failing in their duty, and that there was 110 difference between acting against strike r i .utm,3 and the UL%tor rioters and the ULster forces. The Goveru4 ment itself admitted the difference in offer- ing the officers the choice cf resigning ar proceeding against Ulster. Mr Rantsay Macdonald deciared in the House that If General Gough is not prepared to do hi6 duty. General Gough ought not to be an officer in the British Army." That is a strange pro nouncement to conio from the leader of a party which maintains as a principle th. right of soldiers to refuse to fire on strikers.' It would appear from this expression c4 opinion that Mr Macdonald believe* that ill General Gough is ordered by his superior ofifcers to shoot down strikers he niii-t do so, or he "ought not to be an officer of the British Army." But throughout the debate Mr Macdonald (acting perhaps under the. orders of his Liberal masters, as usual) and those Coalititonints who so fiercely accused tho resigning oiffcers of refusing duty were arguing on a wholly false assumption. There was no question of the officers violating the oath they took on receiving their commissions. It is idle to argue whether their duty called them to fight. against the Ulstermen, or whe- ther they had any right to resign. On the admission of the Prime Minister, they were offered the opportunity of resigning. They, were given the alternative of proceeding* on active service or resigning or being disiiiissecli with loss of all pensions That they preferred to lose their employment and their pensions to losing their honour is entirely to their credit, and none who know anything of the high standard of honour of the average Army offi- cer would have doubted which they would sacrifice. The Labour members interrupting witJt cries of "What about strikes?" were, as usual, stupidly beside the point, and the attempt to show an analogy between the position of troops eall-ed in to assist the police and quell riots a.nd troops sent to stir up trouble and precipitate civil war was utterly futile. It has been shown that there is plenty of pre- cedent fo,r allowing officers and men to Lay, down their arms rather than light against: their conscientious views and to them join the other Army in a Civil War. The essential difference between Civil War and Riots is one that appears to have escaped the intelligence of the Labour Party. Civil War is War, and would be fought under all the rules of civiL^ed warfare. Rioting is not War and recogniscs no rules, but the rule of mob law, violence, and destruction. In strike riots where troops have been employed they were used to protect the lives and liroiiertyj of non-combatants, a first rule of civil oar any other war. In some cases the rioters bad not proceeded to the lengths of wanton de- struction and looting (two things forbidden under the Rules of War) but were only pre- vented from doing so by the intervention of the police and the troops. At Leith the goods of unoffending shopkeepers wekv looted, in Dublin a single man was butchered brutallj by the kicks and blows of a mob i '.an ot-h ar, thing forbidden in civilised warfare), in Africa the strikers dynamited trains carrying persons without any concern in the strike. If the Army had been called on to suppress such doings in Ireland they would undoubtedly, have done so and would only have been doing their duty. They were not so called upon, and they were offered the choice of resigning or participating in Civil War. If their action has prevented Civil War, as for the moment it certainly has, the nation is under the great-t possible debt of gratitude to the Army. The Army at least has come through its great crisis with the highest credit and with unsullied honour.
