London, April 12th.--The parliamen- tary erisis was quietly surmounted to- day, when the Government, having yield- ed to the labour demands and vnder- taken to appoint a committee to investi- gate the g’ievances of the exserviee men, the opposition permitted a motion that the speaker leave the chair to be put witheut further resistance. Thereupon, in accordance with the constitutional Isage that grievances must be heard be- fore supplies are granted, the House be- gan a discussion of various subjects, in- cluding the question of the hindrances placed on British trade by the French action sin-the Ruhr. The discussions having proceeded about three “hours, with only occasional effervescence: from the labour benches, Sir Philip Lloyd- Greame, for the Government, moved the closure which was carried by 242 to 155, and the motion that the speaker leave the chair was agreed to unopposed. The Government, thus retrieved its defeat of Tuesday with a vote showing its normal majority. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, who owing to the Prime Minister’s loss of vuice is temporarily acting in" his place, comes in for considerable criticism from his own side and from the press for un- skilful, untactful handling of‘the situa- tion, thereby playing into the hands of the Labourites. The Ruhr debate to- night mainly concerned technical ques- tions, but revealed continued strong dis- satisfaction on the part of the opposition members with the Government’s policy of benevolent neutrality relative to.the French action, One effect of ‘the crisis has been avoidance of what probably would ‘have been @ somewhat aerid de- bate on:-the agricultural policy, but as the ministers were clearly ‘not' well - dis- posed towards the semi-protective policy advocated by the agricultural tribufal, thev may be assumed to:hbave. -escaped some strong criticism from the ‘prdtec- tionist elements among their own. sup- m?brst A l T eEw Ylaats Ottawa, April 12th~~The Prime Minis-
