MR ASQUITH'S ULTIMATUM.
PROPOSALS MUST BE ACCEPTED OR WILL BE WITHDRAWN.
(By Cable.—Presa Association— Copyngnt.) LONDON, March 16. Mr Asquith made his promised further statement in tho House of Commons to-day. He said that if the Government proposals were rejected, it would be a waste of time to formulate details of them for discussion. He was not prepared to put a cut-and-dried scheme on paper, as he wished to keep the discussion to the main issue. If the proposals were accepted, the Bill would require administrative and financial adjustments, as the LordLieutenant would have no jurisdiction in the excluded area. The Government had not been much encouraged by the reception of the proposals. Replying to Mr Bonar Law, Mr Asquith promised the House an opportunity to discuss the proposals at the earliest possible date.
