34856	The doctor would think, as I should think if I saw a woman lying there,''What has been this woman''s offence?'' 34856 Then why do n''t you do something to give votes to women?"
34856	What about next year?
34856	What happened, father?
34856	What is the other?
34856	You did not tell them to break down a wall and disinter a body?
34856	And what right had I to step in and ruin the good impression they had made?
34856	As soon as order was restored Christabel stood up and repeated the question:"Will the Liberal Government, if returned, give votes to women?"
34856	At this there were cries of"Where to?"
34856	Autocratic?
34856	But Mr. Lloyd- George evaded this by the counter query:"Why do n''t they go for their enemies?
34856	But what good did that do the cause?
34856	Can you throw the first stone?
34856	Did they think that any doctor would go on with such action, or that we should be able to retain medical men under such conditions in our service?
34856	Do you wonder that we gained new members at every meeting we held?
34856	Does justice gain?
34856	Does not Mr. Asquith think that women should have the right to control their children''s education, as men do, through the vote?"
34856	Have you the right to judge women?
34856	How can she save?
34856	I said to the inspector:"Shall I have to do it again?"
34856	I say the right was destroyed, for of how much value is a petition which can not be presented in person?
34856	In almost every one of my American meetings I was asked the question,"What good do you expect to accomplish by interrupting meetings?"
34856	Is it possible that the time- honoured, almost sacred English privilege of interrupting is unknown in America?
34856	Is there anything more marvellous in modern times than the kind of spontaneous outburst in every country of this woman''s movement?
34856	It had been urged, said he, that this bill was better than none at all, but why should that be the alternative?
34856	May I just try to make you feel what it is that has made this movement the gigantic size it is from the very small beginnings it had?
34856	Now why have they not put the Union in the dock?
34856	Said the clerk:"Do you find Mrs. Pankhurst guilty or not guilty?"
34856	Shall us have the vote?
34856	She quoted Lord Morley as saying of the Indian unrest:"''We are in India in the presence of a living movement, and a movement for what?
34856	The inspector, whom I knew personally, stepped forward and demanded officially,"Are you Mrs. Pankhurst, and is this your deputation?"
34856	Then Annie Kenney arose and asked:"If the Liberal party is returned to power, will they take steps to give votes for women?"
34856	There is no doubt of that, but most important of all, does not the breaking of glass produce more effect upon the Government?
34856	They wrote:"Will the Liberal Government give votes to working- women?
34856	Was there, I reflected, any difference between trying for the vote and getting it?
34856	We could not believe him, and when, two months later, I was asked in America:"When will English women vote?"
34856	We threw away all our conventional notions of what was"ladylike"and"good form,"and we applied to our methods the one test question, Will it help?
34856	What answer do you think Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman made us?
34856	What became of those girls, and what became of their hapless infants?
34856	What can be gained?
34856	What do we find?
34856	What does all this mean?
34856	What good did it do?
34856	What is the good of a country like ours?
34856	What is the obvious lesson to be drawn?
34856	What words could have breathed a prouder defiance, a more implacable resolve?
34856	When the remnants of the armies return, when the commerce of Europe is resumed by men, will they forget the part the women so nobly played?
34856	When we made the inquiry,"Are all our women now transferred to the first division?"
34856	Who asked me to say anything?
34856	Why do n''t they go for their greatest enemy?"
34856	Why not?
34856	Why should women go to Parliament Square and be battered about and insulted, and most important of all, produce less effect than when we throw stones?
34856	Why?
34856	Will Sir Charles M''Laren tell us if any member is preparing to introduce a bill for women''s suffrage?
34856	Will he tell us what he and the other members will pledge themselves to_ do_ for the reform they so warmly endorse?"
34856	Would n''t I please have a meeting especially for them?
17294	( 2) what is the setting of the economic problem to- day, and( 3) what is to be our policy for the future?
17294	A CHECK UPON BUREAUCRACY How can this growth of inadequately controlled official power be checked?
17294	A GROUP OF NEW ARMIES Well, how do we stand in regard to that to- day?
17294	Again, did we ever desire a Balance of Power in Africa, America, or Asia?
17294	And what does the race for armaments result in but in war?
17294	And what is the point of the present advocacy of the Balance of Power by those who think themselves neither visionaries nor blind?
17294	BALANCE OR LEAGUE?
17294	But how can the investor know where it should go when the true financial condition of great industrial companies is a matter of guesswork?
17294	But is it not plain that it could not be justly carried out?
17294	But what is the upshot?
17294	Can we compete with other industrial countries of the world?
17294	Did we ever want a Balance of Power at sea?
17294	Does it mean co- partnership, profit- sharing, co- operative societies, joint committees, national wages boards, guild socialism, nationalisation?
17294	First and foremost, do we mean the needs of the individual worker or of a family, and if of the latter, how large a family?
17294	First of all, why do men vaguely feel that the House of Commons is unrepresentative?
17294	For this purpose we need to consider( 1) what have we done in that direction in the past?
17294	How are we going to apply it?
17294	How can they do this if they do not know the facts of production?
17294	How can we help on this work?
17294	How far have Trade Boards actually succeeded in fixing such a minimum?
17294	How is that goodwill to be gained?
17294	How is the State to acquire them?
17294	How is this ultimate responsibility to be met?
17294	How then are we to cope with this problem of retaining our economic position?
17294	How then stands the argument from the fluctuations of the exchanges?
17294	If it was alleviated, to what was the alleviation due?
17294	If the standard wage must provide for a family, what must be the size of the family?
17294	Is British supremacy what we mean by a Balance of Power?
17294	Is it because of any monopoly or community or balance of power?
17294	Is it possible to improve upon the present working of this machinery?
17294	Is it the Prime Minister, or the Cabinet, or Parliament, or the Civil Service?
17294	Is there any reason why we Liberals should not begin by boldly adopting, in our own case, this plainly Liberal policy?
17294	Is there anything else?"
17294	Is there no danger that this machine will mould the minds of some other peoples, just as the German machine moulded the minds of the Germans?
17294	Mr. McNair said:--Need I labour the point that there_ is_ a problem of the Mines?
17294	Now what will that equipoise produce?
17294	Now, did our believers in the Balance of Power ever wish to see power balanced anywhere else than on the continent of Europe?
17294	STATE OWNERSHIP: FOR AND AGAINST What policy in the political field can be adopted to further these objects?
17294	She had a right to expect in return generous treatment; but what did she get?
17294	THE CAPITAL LEVY If we can not look forward to any great measure of relief through these channels, to what then must we look?
17294	THE PRESENT MACHINERY OF RELIEF At present what is the situation?
17294	THE TWO CAUSES OF UNREST What is the conclusion of what I have tried to say to you?
17294	That being the case, what has been done in the last few years to remedy this matter, and why is more not being done?
17294	The minerals or royalties being acquired by the State, what then?
17294	There being now no legal or patriotic call to intensive production, we are driven back to ask,"Does intensive production pay?"
17294	Was that a baseless slander?
17294	Well, how is it secured?
17294	What about the economic position?
17294	What are the facts?
17294	What are the prospects of the two methods that I have mentioned coming to our rescue in this"long distance"problem?
17294	What are the root causes which bring every period of active trade to an inevitable end?
17294	What are these"C"Bonds?
17294	What happened to that as a burden during the 100 years just gone by?
17294	What indeed was it but this even balance and consequent fear which produced the race for armaments?
17294	What is a perfect balance between two opposing weights or forces?
17294	What is it that is wrong?
17294	What is the remedy?
17294	What is the total amount annually paid in coal royalties?
17294	What more is wanted?
17294	What was the result?
17294	What was the result?
17294	What, in these circumstances, does M. Poincarà © propose?
17294	Who could define or enumerate the"functions"that are to be represented?
17294	Who is it that ordains that, say, a million men shall work in the coal- mines, and 600,000 on the railways, and 200,000 in the shipyards, and so on?
17294	Why has the House of Commons lost the confidence of the nation?
17294	Why has this representation of economic interests become so strong?
17294	Why is course(_ b_) recommended?
17294	Why then is it secure?
17294	Without a levy what kind of position can you look forward to?
15086	Excessive?
15086	Inadequate?
15086	( 2) Who pays for the machinery of Land Purchase, and what is the security for the money advanced?
15086	3 of their Terms of Reference-- namely,"What is the Imperial expenditure to which Ireland should equitably contribute?"
15086	Am I weakening the case for democracy itself in pressing this view?
15086	And what would be the further consequence?
15086	Are the phenomena I have reviewed arguments for Home Rule or against Home Rule?
15086	Are we to be told now by Unionists that the Union must be maintained in order to maintain this subsidy?
15086	But how, on its merits, and apart from the question of taxation, could such an excess be justified?
15086	But what light can Estate Duty throw on( for example) the dividends collected at the source from British or foreign securities held by Irish banks?
15086	CHAPTER IX IRELAND TO- DAY Why does present- day Ireland need Home Rule?
15086	Can anyone wonder that public opinion in Ireland was instinctively against that war?
15086	Can we be surprised that they, a rude, backward race, failed under the test where we ourselves, with far less justification, had failed so often?
15086	Did Durham advocate Canadian Home Rule because Canada was"so far"?
15086	Did the proof of the error in Canada induce Englishmen to question the soundness of the precedent on which the error was based?
15086	Do not the conclusions set forth above bear upon them the stamp of common sense?
15086	Do they tend to show that Ireland is"fitter"now for Home Rule, or that she manages very well without Home Rule?
15086	Does it necessarily follow that Ireland should be given power to construct her own Navy, and raise and control her own troops?
15086	Does not she become a convex mirror, in which, swollen to unnatural proportions, the mistakes of two centuries are reflected?
15086	Ethics and honour apart, where was the common sense of the legislative Union?
15086	FEDERAL OR COLONIAL HOME RULE?
15086	For example, Is the upkeep of the Lord- Lieutenant an Irish or an Imperial charge?
15086	Has Ireland anything to gain by separation?
15086	Has merit its reward?
15086	Has she anything to lose?
15086	How are we to deal with it?
15086	How could Ireland frame a financial policy?
15086	How did this come about?
15086	How do they explain away the support for that policy in the Dominions?
15086	How do they reconcile them with opposition to Home Rule for Ireland?
15086	How exactly do we stand at the present moment?
15086	How, on the other hand, stands the argument of Lord Farrer and Mr. Currie?
15086	If Ireland is disorderly and retrograde, how can she deserve freedom?
15086	If and in so far as the Upper Chamber is elective, should election be direct or indirect?
15086	If so, was it to be left as a separate unit, or was it to be amalgamated in a Union with its neighbour, Upper Canada?
15086	In what provision of the coming Bill will the difference between Federal Home Rule and Colonial Home Rule arise?
15086	Is it a public opinion derived from the vital contact of ideas and interests, and taking shape in a healthy and normal distribution of parties?
15086	Is it strange that the Colonies themselves regard such logic, when applied to Ireland, as perverted and absurd?
15086	Is it that the British minority, being so very small, is more liable to oppression by the Dutch?
15086	Is there any unity of national purpose, transcending party divisions?
15086	Is thought free?
15086	Morality aside, is that common sense?
15086	More pertinent question still, what are the conditions which will inevitably be imposed in exchange?
15086	Nevertheless, the problem before us is one of devolution pure and simple, and the question is, how far is devolution to go?
15086	Now, how much more will be required?
15086	Now, what was the"people"in the minds of the Volunteers?
15086	Now, where do we stand?
15086	Once admit the principle of restitution, and where are you to stop?
15086	Quebec Home Rule or Dominion Home Rule?
15086	Should they have used force, even under the threat of Burgoyne''s guns?
15086	Strange, is it not, that such a movement should have to emphasize the fact?
15086	Take the Imperial argument, shaken to its foundations by subsequent events, from the case he stated in 1893, and what remains?
15086	To be held by Lord- Lieutenant To be held by Lord- Lieutenant,( acting normally on the advice_ acting on advice of Irish of Irish Cabinet?
15086	Two further questions remain to be considered:( 1) Can we assume that in the future purchase will proceed smoothly?
15086	Was French or Lower Canada, with its small minority of British, to be given representative Government at all?
15086	Was it because Ireland, unlike Canada, was"so near"?
15086	Was it respectable for armed men to dictate to a Parliament, however just their cause?
15086	Was it to be the policy of the Duke of Wellington or of the Earl of Durham, of Fitzgibbon or the Volunteers?
15086	Were they to trust or suspect, to admit or to exclude from full political rights, the new- comers?
15086	What are the objections to Irish control over Purchase, with its corollary, Irish payment of the running costs of Purchase?
15086	What are the objections to giving Ireland, like the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, control over her own Customs?
15086	What are the objections?
15086	What are to be the relations between the subordinate Irish Parliament and Government, and the Imperial Parliament and Government?
15086	What do these terms really mean?
15086	What form should that contribution eventually take?
15086	What has taken its place?
15086	What is the really practical significance of Ireland''s proximity to England?
15086	What is the ruling power within Ireland?
15086	What is the train of reasoning in this strange specimen of political argument?
15086	What is to be the framework of Home Rule?
15086	What prevented unity?
15086	What question?
15086	What rational or scientific limit can be set to it?
15086	What was its corollary?
15086	What was the remedy?
15086	What was the ultimate cause of this glaring divergency?
15086	What would Mr. Arthur Balfour himself have prophesied with certainty in the case of any other country but Ireland?
15086	What would have happened in any Colony?
15086	What would one expect to happen?
15086	What, in the Colonies, Ireland, and everywhere else, is the deep spiritual impulse behind the desire for Home Rule?
15086	Where are the dangers and difficulties of exclusion?
15086	Where is our common sense?
15086	Where is the crux of the problem?
15086	Where is the wisdom in selecting direct taxation as peculiarly suitable to Irish control?
15086	Whichever course was taken, what was to be the relation between the Home Government and Canada?
15086	Why foster a spirit of undying enmity among a people disposed to dwell together in harmony?
15086	Why less urgent?
15086	Why subject the Colony to the dissensions of party?
15086	Why?
15086	Will it be good for Ireland?
15086	Will they profit by it?
15086	Would Mr. Chamberlain recast his argument now?
15086	Would it have been possible to design a system better calculated to embitter, impoverish, and demoralize a valuable portion of the Empire?
15086	Would she naturally be inclined to increase direct taxation?
15086	[ 4] Why is this?
15086	[ 53] But why in the world should the British party pendulum determine an important Irish matter like this?
18419	If,he inquires,"you tax the unearned increment on land, why do n''t you tax the unearned increment from a large block of stocks?
18419	A toll of what?
18419	Although it is no doubt a very good answer, when the direct question is raised,--What are your notions?
18419	And by what other Government will it be replaced?
18419	And for what object was this fund to be accumulated?
18419	And is the Licensing Bill not well worth a good blow struck, and struck now, while the iron is hot?
18419	And upon what objects and policies do we propose to spend the extra revenue which this Budget will unquestionably yield in future years?
18419	And what is the consequence?
18419	And what is the result?
18419	Are they crying out?
18419	Are they even a sieve, a strainer, to stop legislation if it should reveal an undue or undesirable degree of Radicalism or Socialism?
18419	Are they indignant?
18419	Are they not being demoralised?
18419	Are they not being exploited?
18419	Are they not being thrown away?
18419	Are they not tremendous too?
18419	Are they the complementary critic-- the critic who sees all the things which the ordinary man does not see?
18419	At Birmingham, the Prime Minister asked him in so many words: What alternative did he propose to the Budget?
18419	At those two elections, what was the salient fact?
18419	But how are we to apply that principle?
18419	But the House of Commons asks itself when it has to choose between taxes on various forms of wealth,"By what process was it got?"
18419	But we are asked:"Why stop here?
18419	But what did the Leader of the Opposition promise?
18419	But what do you see at the present time?
18419	But what does Mr. Austen Chamberlain say?
18419	But what effective provision have they made against old age in the past?
18419	But, if we have been powerful in the past, shall we then be powerless in the future?
18419	Did they do anything to try to reduce or control the expenditure of that great departure?
18419	Did you earn it by yourself, or has it just been left you by others?
18419	Do Trade Unionists desire the downfall of the existing Liberal Government?
18419	Do we not see that they are ever exerting themselves to urge still greater expenditure upon the nation?
18419	Do you see what that means?
18419	Do you wish to send that message to the House of Lords?
18419	Does that really represent the complete economic and natural demand for the amount of land a population of that size requires to live on?
18419	Every concession that could be conceived was made, but to what purpose?
18419	For what objects?
18419	Formerly the only question of the tax- gatherer was,"How much have you got?"
18419	Forward or Back?
18419	Had he no word for his old friends?
18419	Had he no word for those who were once proud to follow him, and who now use in regard to him only the language of regret?
18419	Has he considered the relation of miners''wages to the selling prices of coal?
18419	Has it ever been right in any of the great settled controversies which are now beyond the reach of Party argument?
18419	Has the House of Lords ever been right?
18419	Have they any right to complain of the taxes which are necessary for the maintenance of our naval power?
18419	Have we not a right to claim the support of the Trade Unionists who are associated with the miners?
18419	How are you to subdivide these magisterial districts for the purpose of allocating members?
18419	How else can we put ourselves in harmonious relation with the great verities and consolations of the infinite and the eternal?
18419	How have foreign countries stood the late depression in trade?
18419	How many will there be in ten years''time?
18419	How much difference is there between Parties in this House as to time?
18419	How much of them would even be repelled by Cobden?
18419	How shall this imposing fabric of industrial security be reared and made safe?
18419	How stands the case of the Trade Unionists?
18419	I ask the House what does such a safeguard as the House of Lords mean?
18419	I do not doubt that all this talk of the rejection of the Budget is injurious to business, to credit, and to enterprise; but who is to blame for that?
18419	I say,"Why not?"
18419	I shall be asked, What about all this foreign investment that is going on?
18419	In other words, the State in future will increasingly ask the taxpayer not only"What have you got?"
18419	Is it a safeguard at all?
18419	Is it a vote of censure on the Government at all?
18419	Is it because of the British Constitution that life and property are secure?
18419	Is it because of the House of Lords, that life and property are secure?
18419	Is it because of the repressive laws which we impose?
18419	Is it not a cry of petulant vexation at the natural, ordinary, long- expected sequence of events?
18419	Is it not an extraordinary thing that upon the Budget we should even be discussing at all the action of the House of Lords?
18419	Is it not really a vote of censure on the general election?
18419	Is it wonderful that we should refuse to turn our eyes away from that?
18419	Is not British credit now being diverted abroad to foreign countries, to the detriment of our own country?
18419	Is that tariff before us now?
18419	Is that the only demand of the people of Glasgow for land?
18419	Is that the work to which you will put your precious franchises-- your votes, which have been won for you by so much struggle in the past?
18419	Is that the work you want to do, men of Dundee?
18419	Is that their contention?
18419	Is the House of Lords even a security for property?
18419	Member for West Birmingham, or do they abandon him?
18419	Member,''a reckless and foolhardy experiment''"?
18419	Men who have gone on even at the cost of their lives-- had he no word for them?
18419	Now there is the issue on which the future of this Parliament hangs--"Forward or back?"
18419	Now who has a right-- this is my first question-- to reproach us for that?
18419	Now, is there one of all these subjects which does not command the support of Trade Unionists and responsible Labour leaders?
18419	Of a half?
18419	Of a quarter?
18419	Of the whole?
18419	On what foundation do they seek to build?
18419	On what ground could we refuse that equal treatment of the Orange River Colony?
18419	On what ground then did they pass that Bill, if it was not the ground of political opportunism and partisanship?
18419	Peace is agreed on, and what happens?
18419	Some will have two, some three, some a number of members; and on what system will you allocate the members to these divisions?
18419	That is perfectly true, but is that a reason for condemning the Budget?
18419	The decisive question is this-- will the British working classes embrace the opportunities which will shortly be offered to them?
18419	To begin with, it is impossible to drive the greater part of our capital out of this country, for what is the capital of the country?
18419	To what trades ought we, as a beginning, to apply this system of compulsory contributory unemployment insurance?
18419	Was it gained by supplying the capital which industry needs, or by denying, except at an extortionate price, the land which industry requires?
18419	Was it gained by the enterprise and capacity necessary to found a business, or merely by squeezing and bleeding the owner and founder of the business?
18419	Was it gained from opening new minerals to the service of man, or by drawing a mining royalty from the toil and adventure of others?
18419	Was it right in 1880, when it rejected the Compensation for Disturbance Bill?
18419	Was it right in delaying Catholic emancipation and the removal of Jewish disabilities?
18419	Was it right in driving this country to the verge of revolution in its effort to defeat the passage of reform?
18419	Was it right in endeavouring to prevent the abolition of purchase in the Army?
18419	Was it right in resisting the Ballot Bill?
18419	Was it right in the almost innumerable efforts it made to prevent this House dealing with the purity of its own electoral machinery?
18419	We do not only ask to- day,"How much have you got?"
18419	We have heard many prophecies, but what has been the history of the coal trade?
18419	Well, but what have the Conservative Party got to say about it?
18419	Well, what is the proposal?
18419	What about Insurance, Labour Exchanges, and economic development?"
18419	What about mining royalties?
18419	What are the facts about agricultural land?
18419	What are the facts?
18419	What are the reasons for this demand?
18419	What are the reasons which have been advanced against the issue of a Constitution to the Orange River Colony?
18419	What did he mean by Tariff Reform?
18419	What do we say?
18419	What does preference mean?
18419	What is it they are doing at Westminster?
18419	What is the Government doing at present, and what has it done in its brief existence?
18419	What is the destiny of our country to be?
