Mason.) * United Press Staff * * Correspondent. * KKK KKK KRR KKK KK KT An opposition party to criticize the British government’s methods of conducting the war, is being created in parliament with the tacit consent of the government itself. The British parliamentary system is never able to work ;satisfactorily while there is no strong party in op- position. Before the present coali- tion government was formed, the Conservative opposition‘failed to play a critical part because it feared the effect of being charged with lack of patriotism. Since the organiza- tion of the coalition cabinet there has been no formal opposition of any kind in the British legislature. Many of the mistakes the British have com- mitted during the war are attributed to the breakdown of criticism in parliament. Carson Heads Movement. Sir Edward Carson, who recently resigned from the cahinet because of the Balkan blunders, organized a National party, whose work shall be thiat of formal opposition:in normal times. Associated with the brilliant Irish Conservatist is Sir Henry Dal- ziel, a strong Radical member of the house of commons. The National party, therefore, Is not to be a partisan organization, but will exist solely as a patriotic body to spur the government to greater activity. The Marquis of Lansdowne, who is the government’s spokesman in the house of lords, recently declared the ministry would welcome criticism. He suggested that the occasional critics, such as Lord Loreburn, Lord Morley, Lord Milner and Lord Courtney, be considered as a group of elder states- men after the Japanese model. Critieism Individual. But the objection to the kind of criticism of the war which now and then breaksout in the house of lords is that it is not concerted. It is in- dividual rather than representative and loses much force because of that fact. If Sir Edward Carson can com- plete the organization of a National party along formal lines it is cer- tain that an improvement in the British direction of the war will re- sult. It also is claimed certain that parliament will recover the spirit of democratic government which has been thrust aside because of sup- posed military requirements, KKK KK RK KKK KK * NYMORE NEWS. * % (By Special Correspondent.) .
