The Communists and their friends have come resolved to cause trouble and they are adopting what one may call sartomal aggressiveness in the House. Unless the policemen were well informed, they would never allow any of the Communist Members to enter the Legislature, since they are the veritable "wild men from the backwoods" amd they not only lock it, but they try to pose as it. Still, they will have difficulty in raising trouble, because everyone admits that the Government has come back with a blank cheque. Its mission is to carry on the Government of the country, but not necessarily to introduce specific legislation. This is wherein Mr. Bonar Law's strength lies, and those abroad who expect legislation should disabuse themselves of the idea. We shall probably have a sane and sober Administration and it is significant that the first step of the Government was to appoint to the Embassy at Paris the Free Liberal leader of the House of Lords, Lord Crewe. It is a very good appointment, but there are very few political parties who would have had the courage to make it.
