January.8 \u2014 The fifth Parliament of the present reign opened today in a quiet and uneventful manner, apart from me natural effervescence on the Dart of Labor members, elated at the proapect of their party taking office as the Government, which only a tew months ago appeared to be quite a distant prospect.The re-election of John Henry Whitley as Bpeaker of the new House was a foregpne conclusion and therefore \u2018afforded no -excitement.\u2018There was great animation in the talk and gossip.incident tothe mesting of any new Parliament, let alone à Parliament holding such unusual possiblities as this.Mr, Asquith was absent from the House owing to lilness.Mr.Lloyd George entered, with but small recognition and interest was centered elsewhere.The former Premier, who heretofore had mat with his section of the Liberal party, signified complete Liberal unity by taking a seat on the Opposition bench next to the one usualy occupied by Mr.Asquith.A Humorous Incident.There was a humorous occur.\u2018rence ns the members arose to fol- tow the Black \u2018Rod into the House of Lords to hear the commission read for Parliament.Mr.MacDonald as leader of the Opposition, joined the Premier, Mr.Baldwin, in the processiéh; whereupon a Laborite shouted: \u201cShake hands,\u2018 This the two leadors did, amidst general cheering.The new women members of the House attracted much attention.The women laborites abandoned their hats and took seats tempor- sarily in the members\u2019 gallery.Lady Astor was not present, but the Conservative women had a representative in Mrs.Phillipson.Mrs.Wintringhem was there, and next to her was the newly-elected Lady Terringtenr \u2014 The latter immediately engaged In an animated conversation with the Liberals about her.She was attired in black with trimmings of white, which Is not unusual, but mere males hardly knew what to make of the lorgnette with a tortoise shell handle which she used vigorously.Lady Members Iorgnette.There was no revolution In the women's attire exhibited, but Lady Terrington\u2019s lorgnette and the absence of the Laborites' hats was a substantial departure from the Jeslously guarded customs of the House.Inte! in pure politics: continues to centre outside the House in party conferences and intrigu Although it new seems certain that another firtnight will see a Labor Government in office, some other development Is not entirely excluded, The Labor party is well aware of the strong Influences still working to prevent its accession to office, to say nothing of the efforts which will be made to defeat: it when in office.Apart {rom danger from outside its ranks, Labor will sis0 be threatened by a danger from within\u2014fronf the irrecon- citable group haliing mainly from the Clyde district, which will try to commit the party to all the ez- treme views of the Leftist section of Labor, which certainly cannot be carried by & government sup- Smart January Hats in Satin er

MINISTERS.Would Expect Public Declaration Of Policies To Unify Parties.Winnipeg, Jan 6\u2014Discussing recent political rumors the Free Press in its news column today states: \u2014 \u201cIt is not thought that Mr, Crérar is as well disposed to go back into active public Lfe as he was two years ago.He gave up the leader-| ohip of the Progressive party in, + October 1922, to glve his whole time and attention to the management | of the United Grain Growere and the results have been ao very eatis- | factory to the company that it is | known his business associates are opposed to being deprived of hia services.Notwithstanding this, some of Mr, Crerar's friends think that, out of a sense of public duty, he would seriously consider a propesition wl join the Dominion Government if iy carried with it the required guaran- teow.\u2019 \u2018Government Party Reorgmaisation \u201cThess guarantees would ve to take the form partly ot a gani- zation of the Government af the bringing in of at

premier Veniselos who was taken 11! early this week, is continuing to hin- prove, Yasterday he was able to resume his conferenc:s with the political leaders, including the Royalists.The latter

but not altogether killed.Underground manoeuvres for the same purpose are continuing and ail sorts, of rumors are current concerning\u2019 various politicians and party sections said to be engaged with this idea, none of which, however, can be verified, and the prospect still is that Labor will acceûs to power and that its severest trial will come ister, Mr.Asquith\u2019s dictum that he will not UL & finger to saxe the present Government from its fate would net necessarily bind him or his party, once ti Labor adminis tration was actualy in office, and the attitude whigh Mr.Asquith has adopted on such a debated constitutional question as the right of the Prime Minister to demand the dissolution of Parliament shows that he has in view the strong pos- oibility that the first Labor Government would quickly meet defeat and that it would be within the province of the King to decline to grant the requests of the Labor Premier Zor a dissolution, but that he would, instead, summon the leader of the next largest party, namely, the Liberal party, for the purpose of forming & Government.Idea Has Not Been Dropped.At the mame time, the idea of creating & new \u201ccenter

Embers Which Might Be Fanned Into Flame.London, Jan.8\u2014In a grout de- monstrationt in Albert Hall tonight the Britsh Labor Party celebrated its victories in the recent goneral elections and pledged tis united efforts to constructive work towards the rehabilitation of Great Britain.Burope and the world at large, ff called upon, as seems a certalnly, within ten days to assume the task of governing the United Kingdom.\u201cWe have been in the battle, and we have brought back the trophies,\u2019 said J.-Rameay MacDonald, party leader and principal apeaker, as he turned to the platform behind him, where most of the 193 Labor members of the House of Commons were seated.The great domed hall echoed and re-echoed with the cheers of nearly ten thousand vol ces.As the meeting progressed ihe enthusiastic rank and file of the laborites cheered themselves hoarse as the election battles were retold and the representatives of labor presented themselves.However, ou the whole, the dominant spirit of the leaders in their first public utterances since the elections seemed to be not nne of jubliation, but of serious realisation of the heavy re.sponstbilities that will confront the party when It inherits what Mr.MacDonujd termed \u201cthe bankrupt estate\u201d of the present government.Closed With the \u201cRed Flag.\u201d For a meeting of what has been considered in the past as Great uritains revolutionary party, tonight's demonstration was a tame] uffair.lt began with the singing\u2019 of the Marseillaise and closed with a vocifersus rendition of the \u201cRed Flag.\u201d which was probably enough to cause the Londoners itving\u2019 in their palstial homes in (he vicinity of Albert Hall to lock thelr doors tn alarm.The Labor adherents failed among other things to chant ar sing the National Anthem.Nevertheless, the speakers indulged in tittle radical alk and made no predictions of the approaching mil- lenlum.In fact, they gave every evidence that Labor does not Intend to turn England upside down.M:.Mace Donald pleaded with the press fer fairness, if Labor asaumed power.The crowds cheered approvingly while he mildly reBroved about titty reporters grouped arvund tae table before him for their reporteri- 11 shortcomings in chronicling labor news and sald: \u201cIf capital Icaves the country it will be becamse of the panic-mongers and If parliament la blown up, metaphorically speaking, the headquarters of the modern Guy Fawkes will be in the office of the, newspaper combines, not at l.ehor Socialistic Tendenctos.The Socialistic tendencies of the labor movement were severely soft.pedalled during the victory demon- tteation.Mr.MacDonald mentioned the world Boclalism only oncs during his speech and then coupled ft with a broader tern, As he pro- chimed \u201cDemocracy nnd Saclalism* as the aims of the Laber movement.Declaring that the first great duty would be to :stablish peace and create conditions vf peace, Mr.MacDonald declared: \u201cThere fe not a capital city today hut contains embera which a frosh blowing wind will scatter over the inflammable material in Europe and start a new war.My party desires to enter office with a broad foot and a big neel to stamp upon every one of them embers.\u201cWhether we are in offles nix months or six years, we are resolved that there shall not be In any corners of the world fires which can be fanned into great flames to in- voive the world In new ware.\u201d Pin Prick Irritations.He then referred tu the depiora- ble misunderatanding between Grent Britain and France\u2014pin prick Irrltations, unworthy of both countries and which do not issue from tho minds of the good people of elthar country.\u201d \u201cIt would be a good thing.\u201c he continued, \u201cto put them all

Changes.Ottawa, Jan.8\u2014Negotiations for a Liberni-Progressive agreement are assuming definite shape.Hon.T.A.Crerar, former Progressive leader, and Premier Dunning, of Saskatchewan, are speeding east and should be in Ottawa on Thursday.when it is expected discussions will begin.So far as the Government is concerned, however, offi: cla) confirmation or otherwise of a policy of \u201cbroadening out\u201d is lacking.There was an extended meet- i of the Cabinet Council this afternoon and It is presumed that the situation was discussed.But the only announcement Premier King had to make when the meeting concluded at 6.30 this evening as tha appointment of Hon.Nar- ernor of Quebec.Mr.King intimated that there were no other appointments and of relations with Progressives had nothing to say.Third Week in February.He added that the date of opening of Parliament would not be announced until after January 18.This, taking into consideration the usual month's notice, means that Parliament will not meet till the third week in February at the earliest.Assuming that negotiations for a Liberal - Progressive agreement open on Thursday, comment fn political circles now turns on what e nature of any such agreement is likely to be, what portfolio, if any will be offered to Mr.Crerar or other Progressives and what modifications are likely to result in the Government's policy as a consequence.At present the only Cabinet port-| folio actually vacant ls that \u2018at Justice but negotiations of an agred- ment or understanding with Progressives\u2014whatever it may bs termed \u2014 would involve several Cabinet changes and a re-shuffling of poltfolion.Fickding May Retire.Theres is a rumor that the continued fliness of Hon.W, 8.Fielding, Minister of Finance, may lead to his retirement from public life.Should Mr.ielding decide to take such action it is thought that he will be succeeded by Hon.J.A.Itobb, Minister of Immigration and Acting Minister of Finance.This would leave a vacancy at the head of the Immigration Depart ment and to this, were he willing to accept it, Mr.Dunning might be appointed.In this connection, some significance is attached to the fact that Mr.Robb, who hax been in Atlantic City, arrived back today for the meeting of the Cabinet.From present Indications, Hon.Ernest Lapointe will go to the Jus- \u201cice Department, but the question Is who will succeed him at the Department of Marine.Maritime Province members on different oc- caslons have pressed for a Mari- Une Province man at the head of this department, but this could not be accomplished, uniess Quebec representation in the Cabinet is to be diminished by some shifting around of portfolios.And if two or three Progressives are to enter the Cabinet, some considerable reorganisation, of the Government would necessarily follow, It is thought quite likely that as a condition of his joining the Qovernment, Mr.Crerar would insist on such reorganisation.But whether

Breaking Of The Law By Millions Of People By Betting.London, Jan.$ \u2014 (Can.Press Cable) \u2014Remarkable sideiights on he growth of baiting in the United ngdom, especially among women, appear in the report of the select committees of the House of Commons which was appointed some time ago to enquire into the matter with a view to the possible Imposition by the government of a tax on

with bet- ung can be dsduced.At no time and in no place has betting been prohibited.The law ia confused and inconsistent.The rich man can bet to any extent without a penalty criminal penalty, ae ia also the hookmaker with whom he makes his bet.There is evidence that this inequality of the law produces strong resentment among large numbers of the population, more particularly in the districts where atreet betting ls practiced\u201d.More Women Betting The report sates that the evidence submitted to the committee establishes the fact that women are betting to a very large and ateadlly Increasing extent.The Chairman's draft report sug- reste that à tax of 3 1-2 per cent on bets would yield £5,000,000 annually.À portion of this, the Chairman suggests, might be ear-marked for the
