THURSDAY BEBE DANIELS in "THE EXCITERS"
Sketch of Life
'.'Andrew Bonar Law, for more than
30 years exerted a powerful Influence
In British politics. vAs chancellor of
the exchequer and one of the five
members of the Lloyd George coali
tion government during the war, the
house of commons on two occasions
voted him budgets of I3.S00.S00.0U0
and S3. 2(0.000.00. the largest in the
financial history of England. -
A statesman with few political en
emies. Bonar Law's career was singu
lar. He did not enter politics until he
was 42 years old. A successful Glas
gow Iron merchant who had been
born and educated in Canada, his rise
to eminence in the British parliament
began with his election in 1900 as a
unionist from th Blackfrlars division
of Glasgow. Strong for tariff reform
he became noted for his clear reason
ing on that subject and was soon
made parliamentary secretary of the
board of trade. Later he successively
became leader of the unionist or op
position party in the house of com
mohs. secretary of state for the col
onies, a member of the Lloyd George
coalition war cabinet! chancellor of
the exchequer; and, finally, lord of
the privy seal. -
A Business Man
Primarily a business man, he em
ployed the tactics of business rather
than the strategy of politics in deal
ing with national problems. Leader
of the unionist opposition in the house
of commons In 1911 to 1915, it was
Bonar Law who. at the outset of war
proclaimed a party truce. Military
reverses in the field and domestic
difficulties at home led to the retire
ment of the Asquith ministry In 1916
and It was at this time that King
George called upon the former Glas
gow iron monger to form a cabinet.
Wljen he declined, the honor fell to
David Lloyd George, the liule Welsh
man who had within a few months aa
minister of munitions turned . tho
British Isles Into one great arms and
ammunition factory.
Bonar Law was David Lloyd
George's Jonathan. As a. member of
the premier's war cabinet, as chan
cellor of the exchequer and as the
coalition government's leader in the
house of commons, he enjoyed the
fullest confidence of his famous chief
It was Bonar Law who for more than
four years ot great national peril
"interpreted" administration mea
sures, parried thrusts against the gov
ernment and answered interpellations
from the floor. It was his persistency
that brought about the evacuation of
Galllpoll. of ill-starred Dardanelles
campaign fame and the removal of
more than 100,000 surviving British
soldiers from an untenable position.
His statements were generally lucid
and convincing, for as the govern
ment's mouthpiece a serious mistake
In debate might have meant the
downfall of the ministry.
His services as government leader
in the house of commons, a more
difficult and thankless position than
that of the leader of the opposition,
placed Bonar Law high among his
illustrious predecessors, Disraeli.
Gladstone, Campbell-Bannerman and
A. J. Balfour.
Health Breaks Down
News of his retirements due to ill
health In the spring of 1921, came as
a shock to his colleagues and tributes
to his work were paid even by former
bitterest opponents. Former Premier
Asquith said: "I have for many years
been engaged In giving and taking
blows from Mr. Bonar Law but they
never left any rancor behind them."
Lloyd George, In reading the retiring
chancellor's letter of resignation, re
peatedly choked back sobs and ex
pressed the hope that his friend
might return to his duties after a pro
longed rest. Finally the premier who
had been so courageous and powerful
In the conduct of the war, sank back
into his seat with a gesture indicating
his Inability to continue.
Bonar Law's breakdown dated
from shortly before the Paris peace
conference of 1919 which he attended
as one of the British delegates.
The disposition of Bonar Law to
take the most positive stand on grave
public questions caused him some em
barrassment toward the end of his
career. Ho was an uncompromising
foe to the Irish republican movement
and when Lord Mayor MacSwiney of
Cork, lay dying, a hunger striker in
Brixton prison, James Henry Thomas,
president of the Trades Union con
gress, representing 6, &00, 000 British
workers, in session at Portsmouth,
Eng., blamed Bonar Law as "the one
man more than any other who has
justified In Ulster and In parliament
the spirit of rebellion." In a speech
in Edinburgh the chancellor prophe
sied that the government would fail
ui.Iess It was "firm" In dealing with
Sinn Fein.
The desire of Lloyd George and
Bonar Law to resume trade relations
with Russia through the soviet gov
renment also met with " determined
resistance from Earl Curzon. the for
eign secretary, Winston Churchill,
then secretary for war and AuBttn
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex
chequer. The difficulty of the situa
tion was made greater by the attltuda
of France and America where there
was opposition to the British plan.
The Irish and the Russian problems,
coming on the heels of the great war.
were believed to have overtaxed
Bonar Law's strength, and to have
led to his return to private life.
Born In Canada
P.onar Law was born in New Bruns
wick. Canada, on Sept. 1. 1858, tho
son of the Rev. James Law, M.A..
of New Brunswick. In early youth he
was taken to Glasgow where he at
tended high school and finally be
came bookkeeper for an Iron firm.
Later he was made a member of the .
concern and when he retired from
business to enter politics was one of
tho biggest Iron merchants of Scot
land. Golf and chess were his favor
ite recreations.
Nine years before his election to
parliament he married Miss Annie
Pltcalrn Roblcy of Glasgow who died
in 1909. Six children were born tc
them, four sons and two daughters.
One daughter, Isabelle. became tho
bride of Sir Genoral Frederick Sykes
in London In 1920. Two sons werq
lost In the war.
