TOP-HEAVY COALITION.

MR ASQUITH'S CRITICISM. (Received 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, May 28. Mr H. H. Asquith. in a speech at New- • castle, empliasised the inestimable advantage of a €-ompa(t and determined opposition' in Parliament. It was the essence of Parliamentary life. The artificial conditions of the December elections hud resulted in a top-heavy, unworkmanlike machine. Coalition was often necessary in war, but was wholly unßuited to the constructive tasks of peace. There must be a speedy return to healthy, political, and Parliamentary conditions. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
