HENDERSON'S dual personality continues to arouse curiosity. Therewas some justification for Mr. KING'S inquiry whether he went toPetrograd as a Ministerial _Jekyll_ or a Labourist _Hyde_. Mr. BONAR LAWassured the House that on this occasion at least Mr. HENDERSON wentpurely as a Cabinet Minister, guiltless of any duplicity. Mr. PROTHERO enlivened the discussion on the Corn Production Bill by anew clause providing that where a farmer failed to destroy the rabbitson his land the Board of Agricult...ure should have power to do it for himand recover the expenses incurred. Sir JOHN SPEAR expected that in somecases the rabbits secured would more than defray the cost of thecapture, and declared that unless the farmer was allowed to keep therabbits the Government would be guilty of "profiteering. " As otheragricultural Members appeared to share this view, Mr. PROTHERO, mostobliging of Ministers, agreed to alter the word "cost" to "net cost. " Ihope no litigious farmer will seek to evade his liabilities on theground that, as the Act only says "net cost, " he need not pay for theferrets.
