CUTTING THE ENEMY'S THROAT

NEWSPAPER EDITOR'S SUGGESTION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, January 11. Mr. H. A. Gwynne, editor of tho "Morning Post," speaking at the Constitutional Club, deplored that the Gov, nrnment was ineffectively conducting the war. He proposed as a remedy an appeal to tho patriotic members of the House of Commons to form a National Party, which should petition the King to remove the twenty-two members of tlie present Cabinet and appoint either three or live Cabinet members ill their stead, and the party programme to be: No peace unless the Dominions and Allies agreed to the terms; prohibition of a German becoming a partner in a British firm or becoming domiciled in the Empire for twenty-tire years; a tariff' of 5 percent, against Germany, and an additienal 1 per ciitt. for every month the war continues. Sir Edward Carson, speaking at tlie Constitutional Club, said that he would welcome a national policy, which would remevo sordid party bickerings. They must recognise the loyalty and achievements of the Dominions. Lasting peace would ensure that the Empire would ho consolidated in a harmonious and mighty whole. 1
