In introducing a Vote of Credit for 300 millions, making a total of L2,382,000,000 since August, 1914, the PRIME MINISTER said very little about the War, except that we were still confident in its triumphant issue. Any omission on his part was more than made good by Colonel CHURCHILL, who for an hour or more kept the House interested with his views on the proper employment of our Armies. Whenever he speaks at Westminster one is inclined to remark, "What a strategist!" whereas it is rumoured that his admiring comrades in the trenches used to murmur, "What a statesman!" One of his best points was that the War Office should use their men, not like a heap of shingle, but like pieces of mosaic, each in his right place. Colonel CHURCHILL's supporters are still not quite sure whether he has yet found his own exact place in the national jigsaw. _Wednesday, May 24th._--The House of Lords was well attended this afternoon, in the expectation of hearing Lord CURZON unfold the programme of the new Air Board. But it had to exercise a noble patience. Lord GALWAY gave an account of a trip in a Zeppelin; Lord BERESFORD (who, strange to say, is much better heard in the Lords than he was in the Commons) told how the Government were still awaiting from America a large consignment of aeroplanes which as soon as they were delivered would be "obsolete six months ago"; and Lord HALDANE (less impressive in mufti than when he wore the Lord Chancellor's wig) delivered once again his celebrated discourse on the importance of "thinking clearly." Lord CURZON at least did not seem to require the admonition, for his speech indicated that he had carefully considered the possibilities of the Air Board. He did not agree with Colonel CHURCHILL that its future would be one of harmless impotence or of first-class rows. At any rate the second alternative had been rendered less probable by the disappearance from the Government of his critic's own "vivid personality." Mr. ARTHUR PONSONBY and Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD have inadvertently done signal service to their country's cause. By raising--on Empire Day, too!--the question of peace, and urging the Government to initiate negotiations with Germany, they furnished Sir EDWARD GREY with an opportunity of dealing faithfully with the recent insidious manoeuvres of Herr VON BETHMANN-HOLLWEG. The only terms of peace that the German Government had ever put forward were terms of victory for Germany, and we could not reason with the German people so long as they were fed with lies. The FOREIGN SECRETARY spoke without a note, and carried away the House by his spontaneous indignation. The House had previously passed the Lords' amendments, strengthening the Military Service Bill. Altogether it was a bad day for the pro-Bosches.
