INTRODUCTION

The following Parables appeared originally week by
week during the past nine months in the pages
of the Westminster Gazette. To the Editor and
Assistant Editor of that journal the author begs
to tender his most sincere thanks for their ever-ready
help and advice.
Opposite most of the Parables a slight clue is
given to the subject-matter, which may have become
obscured owing to the lapse of time. Feancis Beown. '
Jan., 1906.

THE MISSIONAEY'S GOOSE.
Mr. Balfour's unwillingness to define clearly his
position on the Fiscal Question, combined with Mr.
Chamberlain's persistent claim that the Premier was
in favour of Protection, caused the Unionist Free
Traders to revolt. Ultimately, however, Mr. Balfour
disowned Protection (pure and simple) ; and thereby
caused a further cleavage in his party.

II.
THE BIG AGITATION.
Mr. Chamberlain's Protectionist campaign was,
without doubt, started primarily for the purpose of
diverting public attention from the South African
fiasco and other doings of the Government which had
reduced blundering to a science. The prophecy
embodied in this Parable has apparently been fulfilled.

Brighton.

VI.
THB GEEAT CAP TEICK.
Mr. Arnold-Forster proposed a great many things
in his Army scheme, but he only succeeded in abolish
ing the post of Commander-in-Chief. His other most
notable performance was the altering of the "Brodrick
cap " by adding a peak to it.

VII.
THE BEADLE AND THE STEANGEES.
In the debate on the Aliens' Bill Mr. Akers Douglas,
in his futile efforts to prove that the measure was not
being put forward merely to provide a future Tory
electioneering cry, insisted upon confusing the huge
number of foreigners passing annually through this
country on their way to America and other places
with the small number of those settling here. Mr.
Chamberlain hailed this Bill as a step in the direction
of Protection !

IX.
THE NICE GIEL.
There is not the slightest doubt that Mr. Balfour
was as much concerned in the Devolution scheme for
Ireland as Mr. Wyndham ; yet, at the instigation of
the Ulster members, he allowed the latter gentleman
to be made a scapegoat, and afterwards revived the
cry of "No Home Eule."

XI.
THE PIED PIPEE OF FISCALIN.
After promising that the Colonial Conference should
not be summoned, Mr. Balfour, later on, said he had
forgotten that a Conference must automatically take
place in 1906. In any case, he said, his promise was
only made to his own follo-wers !

THE BLUE BOY.
Owing to the lax attendance of Unionist members
in the House Mr. Balfour stated plainly that if
he were defeated on even a snap division he would
resign. His followers promised to support him in
better fashion, but two days later he was defeated
by a majority of four. He did not resign !

Press worked up a scare that the Opposition were
preparing a trap for the Government's discomfiture.
By the frantic efforts of Sir A. Acland-Hood (the
Chief Tory Whip) a full muster of Unionists attended
the House — but nothing happened !

IN MISCHIEF AGAIN.
In the quarrel in India between Lord Curzon and
Lord Kitchener, Mr. Brodrick, as Indian Secretary,
took a hand, and with his customary cheerful clumsi
ness managed to embroil the two to such an extent
that the resignation of Lord Curzon resulted.
