THE LORDS' VETO The Closure WM Be Introduced On Thursday if Necessary4 Uad to Please ,a Nationalist Leader and the Other Also, London, April 10. -The political pot boils soothingly in ,Perilement, but the public listlessly read the headlines only from the newspapers, evading the per- usal of the long relents of the (Wades in the ifonee of Commend and equally dull editorials. Not week the Liberal. Government may begin to diecover precieely where it is at in re- gard to the budget and the Lon& veto measures, Yesterday the Govenunent whips tient urgent netiegs bo the 'Aeries and Nationalists to at- tend next week's debates, The veto resolution debate is destined to be ehort, if aot sweet, for tee guillotine of dour° will automatically cut Off the discuesion. To -morrow the Government's resolution enabling an bine to became law after three rejections by the 1101180 of Lords will enter the eonunittee stage The debate on this resolution will con- tinue until Thursday, when the guillo- tine will be applied and a vote takeu on Ilia whole resolution. On Thursday night the House wilt vote on the GeV. ernment's resolution jimitino, the du- ration „of Parliament to five yearS in. stead of seven. It is conceded that Premier Asquith will have almost Insurmountable diffb culty in planning his prograinme to suit both Mr. Redmond and the members of the Cabinet, who are not yet prepared to demand guarantees froan the throne, while there is Liberal, uneasiness about the fate of the eadget. This Liberals are hoping the Irish will not destroy it, 11 18 admitted that the Irish have the whip band. The Liberal leaders trust that the Irish and the bulk of tire Lib- eral party will be satisfied if they re- eeive assurances that if a Liberal major- ity is again elected the Veto bill will become law or the Liberal Government will decline to remain, in office. Despitt the hopes of the Liberal leaders, it is be- lieved that Mr. Redmond will stand op for his demand for guarantees from the throne. Very few believe that Mr. As- quith will advise the King to take such an extreme step as the creation of 350 new peers. Mr. Itailinand demands that guarantee from the throne but few believe that Mr. Asquith will con- sent ot it. Mr. Asquith is determined to pass the budget, but wbether he will stand firm by the Liberals' desire that the Government shall resign office if it tanuot devise meens to °venom the re- -defiance of the House of Lords to all Liberal measures remains to be seen.- Politically, Mr. Asquith is between the devil and the deep sea, and the public callously does not care which gate him. NOT TRUE, SAYS GEORGE. Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd, George repudiates Wm. O'Brien's state- raent regarding the ooncessions he was alleged to be willing to make to obtain Irish support for the Government.

Mr. Lloyd -George says on this point: "I never received the letter, and it was never read to me. The statements made in it are grossly -untrue.
