CO-OPERATTON DESIRED.
(Reoeived March 17tb, 10.35 -p.m.) LONDON. March 17. Mr Asquith's statement consisted of brief replies to questions held over from last week. If the Unionists accepted the broad principle of the proposals, said Mr Asquith, then it would be possible to work ont the details with something like general co-operation. Tho Government were working out supplementary provisions, but final determination on some points had not yet been reached. The Government were still anxious that the offer should be considered on its merits. Lord Robert Cecil asked whether there was any precedent for any Government declining to give details of a proposal until they knew whother the Opposition would' accept it or not. Mr Asquith said he did not know of any precedent for any Government going so far as the present Government were going.
