Scotland Will Ask
for Home Rule Next
London —Some Scotch statesmen in
the House of Commous want home rule
Scotland, and intimate th^t there may
be "trouble” in Scotland soon if Soot
land doesn’t get it. They got an op
portunity to say wqat they , thought*
about it the other day when- the ‘‘gov
ernment of Scotland” bill was unex
pectedly introduced. So also did some
of its opponents who were very strong
ly of the opinion that it was not wanted
Alexander Shaw, a Scottish member,
protested that there was no desire for
anything like separation in Scotland.
Under the bill the Soottish representa
tion in the imperial parliament would
remain unchanged, but one legislative
body would be set up in Scotland to
deal with its local affairs.
Sir Donald McLean, the stauooh
auti-coalition Scots Liberal, gave the
bill his blessing. He alluded to the
land hunger in Scotland and told how
it had led to the seizure of land there
since the war: If they had had a
Scotch legislature, the land question,
he declared, would have been settled
long ago. At the next election every
candidate for a Scottish constituency
would have to support the principle of
home rule for Scotland. It would give
England a better chance to attend to
her own legislative business properly.
Colonel John Ward, who entered par
liament as a navvy.and was promptly
declared the handsomest man in the
house, humorously put the British oase,
He said he would support the bill if it
wo uld keep Scotsmen out. of the- best
posts in England ana induce- them- to
stick to their own business at home.
Dr. Murray, a represeDiative of the
Western isles, darkly suggested that
the house should pass the bill while

Scotland was yet calm and not wait to
be coerced iuto doing so by the burn
ing of sundry anoient castles of Scot
land. The bill was finally ’‘talked out”
while there were still a lot of members
anxious to air their views about it. The
hope was expressed that an opportunity
might be soon accorded for really test;

the matter.
