TO THE GOVERNMENT THE VETO BILL. SEND IT TO LORDS RIGHT AWAY By Telesraoh—PreßS Association—OoDVriebt (Roc. March 7, 10 p.ni.) London, March 7. In a speech at the Caxton Hall, Mr. Ramsay -Mncdonald, one of the Labour leaders, appealed to the Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, not to waste time in sending his. Lords'. veto resolutions to the House of Lords, who would decline to discuss them. .Mr. Asquith would then be unable to ask the King for guarantees, because :the House of Lords would reply that, they would' be prepared to discuss the Veto BUI when they knew its detailed proposals. l If Mr. Asquith, humiliated and checkmated, then sent his Veto Bill ; on its weary way to the House of Lords, the : Liberals would get 'such a thrashing when they appealed to the country as the Tories got in 1906. Mr. Macdonald added: "Let Mr. Asquith introduce his Veto Bill straight into the House of Lords, and then go to the King. There would not even be need for another election. The Budget should pass before an appeal is made to the country.' KING GOING TO FRANCE. POLITICAL LEADERS ATTEND A. DINNER. (Rec. March 7, 11.30 p-m.)
