Did you mean british heard foundation?
Mr William Brace: ..., as between employers and employed. Of course, no disputes can be avoided unless there is a spirit on both sides to avoid difficulties. One of the sad things to reflect upon at this moment in British public life and industrial life is that both employers and employed have lost confidence in each other. How can we restore confidence? I am not quite sure that they have not lost confidence...
Mr Edward Carson: ...which, in my opinion, at all events, has before it, if it passes, a great future. I am well aware the Bill only deals at the present moment with machinery, but the machinery is the most important foundation of the whole matter, and when you have set up your machinery, I think you will find that when it is somebody's duty to do a particular thing and there is the machinery provided for...
Mr Joseph Devlin: ...do you not have a man of conviction, instead of a man speaking with a brief, to guide your shady fortunes? Of course, when you want hard heads and hard fists, and, I regret to say, sometimes hard hearts, you go to the North When you want a skilful, subtle, political leader who can throw dust in the eyes of the innocent Englishman you bring a man from Cork. Therefore, I say you have the...
Mr George Tryon: ...in cocoa we should discover the most successful application of Imperial Preference. No doubt the writers in Free Trade journals will find their cocoa all the sweeter since it has been grown in the British Empire. I now come to the very serious question of the League of Nations. It has been suggested from the benches opposite that those within this Empire are not to do as they please within...
Mr Joseph Devlin: ..., and we have not had a single protest made against the proposal until the House of Lords, the great symposium of sound economists, comes along and recognises that the Empire is stricken to its foundations because there is to be an additional Under-Secretary appointed for the administration of a great measure of this character. This question of public health is a very vital matter. These...
Mr Edwin Montagu: .... Let it have free scope. Let the House appoint a Committee to go into the whole question, and, as I have said before, so recently as a fortnight ago, although I believe from the bottom of my heart that you dare not and ought not to do less than we propose in this Bill, I shall be glad, and the Government will be glad, to take the advice of the Committee on any alternative method which...
Mr Evan Hayward: ...to hope for. It is really very difficult indeed to believe that the Prime Minister's supporters who had hitherto shown uncompromising hostility to these proposals, suddenly become converted in heart and mind on the 2nd November, 1918. I am not referring to these matters in order to charge Coalition Liberals with either inconsistency or anything else. If they think that the maintenance of...
Mr Joseph Devlin: ...to rule except the right of force. Ireland is being governed to-day by no rule but the rule of force. The right of the people to determine their own destiny is a thing that no member of the present British Cabinet would laugh at. Therefore, I want a clear and definite statement from the right hon. Gentleman upon that point. President Wilson further goes on to say: Shall peoples be ruled...
Mr Donald Maclean: ...record of what he saw. All we could adduce from his record of what he saw was the noble part ho played. I should think there have been very few Members of this House who have done more credit to British citizenship or to British arms than my hon. and gallant Friend. He was obviously telling the truth. He spoke of what he saw, but he also admitted that, outside his sphere of observation,...
Mr Donald Maclean: ...the total population of the globe. People there belong to different races and different creeds, and they speak totally different tongues. Vast portions of India are under the direct control of the British Crown, but vast portions are in all their internal matters totally independent of any outside interference. A question like that cannot be dealt with in any light-hearted way which may...
Mr James Lowther: ...I have since had the pleasure of entertaining the Shah on his first visit to Europe. The signal success which has attended the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada and Newfoundland has filled My heart with feelings of pride and satisfaction. The overwhelming enthusiasm with which My son was everywhere welcomed affords a fresh proof of the affectionate loyalty which animates all My...
Mr Walter Elliot: ...makes a complete circle and finds itself back where it started. I was astonished to find, though I have seen no comment on it, that the twin Czars of Russia, Lenin arid Trotsky, have abolished the foundation on which their Government rested. The Soviet Government have now abolished the Soviets, their decree says:— The Workmen's Council, created to maintain order in the centres of...
Mr Noel Billing: .... As a punitive weapon, only two weeks ago, I think, we had one of the members of the Government standing up and saying that one squadron of the Royal Air Force had done in a week what the whole British Army could not have accomplished in I do not know how many weeks in the expedition against the Mullah. As a punitive weapon it is unique, it is efficient, and it is inexpensive. If the...
Mr Henry Croft: ...from those of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Paisley, or of the Labour party. We believe that this question is only to be solved by consent. In every great constitutional union in the British Empire all the parties to that union have been consenting parties. We do not believe, when the principal parties concerned repudiate this measure, and apparently have no faith in it, nor any...
Sir John Norton-Griffiths: ...had numerous letters from all sorts of traders and merchants and manufacturers throughout the country on the question of the Excess Profits Duty, and it was with regret that I heard there was no foundation for the rumour we saw in the Press this morning that we were going to revert to the 40 per cent. In the course of my daily work I meet men deeply engaged in the industrial life of this...
...given no real thought to what the organisation really should be or to the difficulties of setting up machinery to stop war. The fact of the matter is that no political movement can have any real foundation or true basis unless it is founded on an economic basis. This applies to all parties and all countries. Unless the League of Nations is founded on a solid foundation of financial...
Mr Joseph Devlin: ...the employer paid it. If the employer did pay, that is another reason why this boy should be released; he must have been a good chap, a capable workman, and of some value to his employer. The British Empire will not shake to its foundations nor will the glories of the military system of the Empire disappear if the right hon. Gentleman will do this simple humane act. The right hon....
Mr Winston Churchill: ...of this organisation, and it constitutes what is, upon the whole, I venture to say, one of the most remarkable educational systems for imparting practical skill and scientific knowledge to young British lads of every rank and class in life which has ever been called into being in this country, or, as far as I know, in any other. Leaving war purposes out altogether, leaving the idea of war...
Commander Hon. Joseph Kenworthy: ...fit to stay and hear his speech. He belongs to that growing band who when they go to bed at night look under it to see if there be any Bolshevik or Sinn Feiner or other wild person threatening the foundations of the Empire. The argument of the Noble Lord is the most powerful which can be brought forward in this House to induce Members not to give the Government a clearance on this great...
Mr Oswald Mosley: ...harder on the pessimists, more exuberant in his determined optimism, last summer than even his illustrious colleague. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has to-day addressed a stern admonition to the British people, recognising that in times of adversity and hardship they always display the most tenacious and most admirable qualities. He has at length decided under such circumstances they are...
