LIBERAL PRESS THREAT.
HIGH LICENSE FEES. (Received 8.10 a.m.) LONDON, November 25. The "Daily Mail" and "Evening Standard" suggests that Mr. Asquith is secretly glad that the Licensing Bill is dead. The "'Chronicle" and "Daily News" loudly protest against the Unionist peer's action, and revive Mr. Lloyd George's threats of high license duties. The "Times" urges Mr. Asquith to withdraw the coniiscatory proposals, and pursue moderation as in education, and adopt minor regulative and administrative provisions. The House of Lords •would then willingly join in quickening the operation of the Balfour Act.
