Balfour, Bonar Law and
Lord Lansdowne Form
Fighting Opposition.
HAVE FOUGHT HOME
EULE FEOM FIRST
BY FREDERIC J. IIASKIN.
L
ONDON, BNG, May . "Union
ist" is the name chosen by the
opposition to the Asquith gov
ernment, the nanic by which the Con
. servatives choose to call themselves.
It means that the party is devoted to
the -Union." which ifi the United ifclng
dom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Naturally, the first political Instinct
of a Unionist is opposition to heme
rule, for home rule means a dissolu
tion of the union.
There is a real division of sentiment
in the party, but it follows the line of
tarifr policy, and not of the old formal
division This difference of opinion
is quite sharp, and in the event of the
return of a Conservative majority In
tho next general elections may con
siderable complicate matters.
If the Unionists were to win the next
election, either Bojiar Law or lord Lans
downe would be made prime minister.
It is not unlikely that the choice be
tween these two- men actually would
be made bv Mr. Balfour. For these
rtasons it is interesting to have a look
at all three men.
Balfour Able Leader.
Mr Balfour is the rblest of the lead
ers. A nephew of the late marquess J
or aiiDury, ana a raemoer ot me la
mous Cecil family, he was born Into
an active political life. The Cecil fam
Ilv believes in its dynastic facnltv for
government. The last Unionist cabinet
at one time included in its makeup
the marquess of Salisbury as premier,
his two nephews, brothers. Arthur J.
and Gerald Balfour, and when he had
rilerl and was succeeded bv Mr. Balfour.
his son the present marquess of Sal- I
Israrr came into tne caomet.
BMfour in his younger days, caused
ttu h trouble by encouraging ln-
frrecine strife in the party, but he
ler squinted at Liberalism. He -wrote
a left m e of Philosophic Doubt," but
' .a of the -warmest supporters of
tr e Established church. All bis active
life he has been eWeflv interested in
preientins the grant of borne rule to
j. and. and in his devotion to that
cause he may be said to be the first
T nonist But he is too old to take up
the active care of office again and he
is said to view the outlook with pessi
mism As an adviser, but not as a lead
er. Ms influence is still most potent.
Law a Strons Unionist.
Erniar Law is a gooc Unionist, but
a poor Tory No man is a stronger
supporter of the ideas and ideals of
th Conservative party than he, but he
was not born in the right stratum of
sncietv He first saw the light In
Canada. He was brought to Britain In
lnfancv. and he came up in life through
business channels. That is the key to
Jii- public career. It is difficult to say
whit is the greater disgust, that of
Whig Liberals with Bonar Law's call
in c spade a spade, or that of the
Torv Unionists with John "Ward's call
lnp a king a king. Only the extreme
radicals on either side applaud their
own man's plain talk.
It is ald that 'lord Lansdowne once
confided to a friend: "Oh. Bonar Law
-will do. I suppose, but he can't ever
forget that he ius a Glasgow lron
mongT " That probably gives the key
to the true Tory sentiment concerning
Bonar Law
Lansdowne a Standpatter.
The old aristocracy undoubtedly
wmild have lord Lansdowne for prime
minister He Is a representative of all the
Heals of the landed men who have gov
erred England from time immemorial.
and he is as jealous of their power
and privileges as if there had never
been a democratic uprising in the
country.
In a recent speech dealing principal- ;
lv with the Ulster situation, lord Lans
downe referred to various policies of
the government in strong terms. He
saifl that the parliament act was used
t"t forrp -bins through a house of lords
c p'ouslv diluted .with illustrious rad
ices promoted to the peerage but -who
Kncii to add little to the house: that
if -was used to dismember the church
ara plunder the Welsh portion of It:
tliat it was used for the manipulation
o' the electoral system by passing the
plural -voting bill for tile sole purpose
ne transferring some 49 seats from the
T""n mists to the Radicals, and that at
tin last it -was beincr need to break up
tt-e union itself and sever the nation
ii twain
"Wonld Save Lords.
To stop all this lord Laasdowne
would restore the full powers of the
lioi.se of lords, and stop its "dilution"
bv the elevation of radical peers. The
firomotion of such men as John Mor-e-v
and Tames Bryce to the house of
lords, whore the Liberal government
noeds them for political purposes. Is
a grea scandal among the Conserva
tH es So also is the "sale" of peerages
. for ca-npaien contributions, especially
now that the selling Is being done by
a Liberal government.
That weight lord Lansdowne. Bonar
Law and Mr Balfour would have in a
Unionist government cannot be gaged
under the present -circumstances. They
certainlv would have to reckon with
the younger element, the Cecils. Aus
ten Chamberlain, F. E. Smith and sir
Edward Carson, assuming with re
spect to the latter that a Unionist victors-
would keep .Ireland in the union.
After all it is not so much the union
between England and Ireland that the
Unionists would preserve, although
they want the union. It Is rather that
tne would devise better means for re
sisting the "burglarious tendency of
modern democracy."

SUDDENLY HALTED
Optimism Is Eeplaced by Gloom, and Prospect" of Settle

J : .l j:..: I
"Aiajr tu uic mcuMlluu piuvccu-
ings. When all seemed goaig well,
the wind suddenly veered. Pessimism
took the place of optimism.
The Mexican delegates, believing
they had reached an accord with the
Americans, had been atKret to Issue a
formal statement explaining their posi
tion on the Mexican, land problem, and
regretting that It was impossible for
them to give guarantees as to the
action of a new sovereign and recog
nized government.
Ilupe To Prevent Disruption.
"We will not let the agrarian ques
tion disrupt the proceedings," said one
of the Mexican delegates. "I think
there is a way of coming Into common
accord on this and other points so that
we may complete our work very
shortly."
Mexlcana Suddenly Stop.
The Mexican delegates bad 'their
stenographic work finished, their hec
tograph ready to print the document
and then they stopped. They said tay
had concluded to issue no prooouneia
mento. It wonld be indiscreet, they
said.
Then, when everyone, amazed at this
sudden step, was speculating on tne
reason for it and the air waa filled
with rumors, probable and abaardly
Improbable, the American delegates
dashed up in their automobiles. There
was a hurried mounting the stalls to
the room of the mediators, the door of
the mystic chamber was stajaaaad. and
a prolonged and earnest "conversatlen"
was entered on.
It was obvious that there mast be
something more definite resaeetlaec the

Look to Mexican, for Proposals.
The mediators have taken the posi
tion that they are esentlally counselors
and not dictators of the destinies of
the Mexican republic They win not
suggest names for the provisional pres
idency nor recommend any form o
government. From the Mexican dele
gates themselves must originate pro
posals concerning the lnternav affairs
of their country. The mediators do not
conceive it to be their duty to under
take to legislate opon questions which
propesly fall within rae Jurisdiction of
the constitutional government when It
is established.
The theory under which the inter
national questions aretlng brought
into the discussion is that the United
States has a right to say whom it will
recognize as provisional president of
Mexico, and therefore can indicate in
advance who will be acceptable.
