Orders of the Day — Defence of the Realm Act.: Prohibition of Share Transactions. (27 Feb 1919)

...two competing industries in a town which desire capital to extend their operations. They go before the Committee. One of them gets a licence; the other does not. That sort of thing causes very great alarm and very great disquiet. I am not one of those who say for a moment that you can at the present time give up all control of issues. I do not think you can. But I say that the greater...

Orders of the Day — Supply. — [First Allotted Day.]: Number of Land Forces. ( 3 Mar 1919)

...out waste, and that we cannot go on spending as we are to-day without risk. I again repeat, that an Estimate, which applies for ten times our pre-war expenditure, is one at least which fills me with alarm.

Orders of the Day — Supply. — [2ND Allotted Day.]: War Indemnities. ( 5 Mar 1919)

Mr Henry Croft: ...humanity, and were not placed in a worse position than those against whom they made war. We have seen in this morning's newspaper—a very well-informed newspaper—the statement which fills us with alarm. There are some who have the impression that Lord Milner, who has recently been in Paris, is not very anxious to see this question of indemnities enforced. We have reason to think that...

Oral Answers to Questions — Coal Supplies.: Treasury Regulations. ( 6 Mar 1919)

Orders of the Day — Naval, Military and Air Force Service Bill. ( 6 Mar 1919)

...to revive an old controversy, all I can say is that it is brought forward at a most inopportune time. I do not suppose in the whole of our phraseology there is any word more calculated to create alarm than the word "Conscription." People have been educated to look upon it as an expression meaning something which involved the whole world in the most horrible War that has ever taken, place...

Orders of the Day — Supply. — [5TH March].: Vote on Account. (10 Mar 1919)

Mr James Kiley: ...anything about that most important section of the community, the consumer. To bring the issue down to a practical point, I should like to bring under his notice the case of clocks. Take an ordinary alarm clock which in pre-war days could be purchased for 5s. If you desire to purchase that article to-day, the working man must pay no less than 25s. for it. It is not surprising, therefore,...

Supply. — [4TH Allotted Day.]: MR. Long's Statement. (12 Mar 1919)

Mr Alfred Short: ...this Committee even greater recognition of those achievements than was indicated by the speech of the right hon. Gentleman who introduced the Estimates. The Labour party certainly view with some alarm the large expenditure of money that is involved in these Estimates, not because it is expenditure upon the Navy, for after all the Navy is necessary and imperative, but because we can see...

Orders of the Day — Major-General Seely's Statement. (13 Mar 1919)

Lord Hugh Cecil: ...conviction that if flying were learned young it would not be regarded as having much more difficulty than running up and down stairs. I imagine when stairs were first invented that there was all the alarm that has now been excited by the more hazardous feats in aviation, and that it was only the young who lived on the first floor, and that anybody over forty lived on the ground floor....

Orders of the Day — Ministry of Ways and Communications Bill.: Unified Transportation Control. (17 Mar 1919)

Mr Evan Hayward: ...these undertakings. It is when I come to deal with the terms upon which these undertakings are to be taken over and retained that I view the Clause with a considerable amount of apprehen- sion and alarm. What are the terms? I will take first the undertakings which are not yet taken over, and might I call the right hon. Gentleman's attention to the fact that with regard to those—I am...

Orders of the Day — CONSOLIDATED FUND (No. 1) BILL. (19 Mar 1919)

Mr George Lambert: ...00,000 Debt charge to £1,150,000,000, we arrive at a total sum for which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has to Budget this year of something over £1,150,000,000. That is a position which may well alarm the country, especially as this expenditure is from the period 31st March, 1919, to 31st March,1920, and therefore it includes a period which would have given the Government something...

Orders of the Day — Coal Industry.: Egypt. (20 Mar 1919)

Viscount Turnour: ...totake, and so long as the administrators there were kept in virtual ignorance, as they were, of what the future government of the country was going to be it was impossible for them to allay public alarm, some of it purely Bolshevik, but a great deal of it perfectly genuine, as to the future form of the government of the country. The British and Allied representatives at the Peace...

Clause 1. — (Power to Prolong Period of Naval, Military, or Air Force Service.) (26 Mar 1919)

Mr Winston Churchill: ...armies in regard to Russia. I deprecate the prominence which this subject has attained during the course of this Debate, because it might easily have the effect of causing unnecessary anxiety and alarm in the country, where no such anxiety and alarm exist. If it were thought that we were thinking of embarking on another great war, I can quite conceive of the passage of this Bill being...

Import Restrictions. (27 Mar 1919)

Captain William Benn: ...a lot of money. There are the controls alone which the Board of Trade has set down in its estimate at over a million pounds. All this gigantic public expenditure which is causing the most serious alarm in the minds of all thinking people is forcing up prices and producing the discontent which in many cases it pretends to set out to allay. Alarm clocks which used to cost 1s. 11d. cannot be...

Indemnities. ( 2 Apr 1919)

Colonel Claude Lowther: ...their bounden duty to the country—that is, to exact every farthing from those countries, according to the promise of the Prime Minister, that they can possibly pay. Also I cannot help feeling some alarm at what I call the subtle, indirect influence of international financiers—I mean the men who will certainly be heavy losers if a just and right and full indemnity were to be placed on...

Land Settlement (Facilities) Bill. (14 Apr 1919)

...a council may enter into possession and begin equipping the small holding at once. I am quite aware that this provision for entering after only fourteen days' notice has caused a certain amount of alarm among existing tenants. [HON. MEMBERS: "Hear, hear!"] I am quite aware of that, and I am quite prepared to meet that as far as I can. In the first place, legally the Clause makes very...

Aliens Restriction Bill (15 Apr 1919)

Mr Donald Maclean: ...enemy origin or not. Every single case was most carefully investigated, not only by the police but by the Army, and specifically and definitely vouched for. That, perhaps, will dissipate some of the alarm which might be present in the mind of hon. Members with regard to that seemingly large number of enemy aliens now at large in this country. I joined that Committee with the idea that a...

Peace Conference.: World Going to Pieces. (16 Apr 1919)

...I must really confess, having had some opportunity of hearing the facts on the point, that I could not say otherwise than that I regard the position as one calculated to create great anxiety, if not alarm. The causes are obvious. We have had, on a scale which has never before been equalled in the history of the world, slaughter and destruction throughout all countries in Europe. It is not...

Orders of the Day — Tea (Customs). (30 Apr 1919)

Sir Samuel Roberts: ...have gone up by no less than £100,000,000, and I see, according to the last record on 23rd April, they were no less than £349,000,000. I do not myself regard these Treasury currency notes with the alarm that some people do. I do not think they are responsible for what is called inflation of prices. I think that the currency notes have been issued to meet the demand. In my view the...
