PROMPT DECISION LLOYD GEORGE AND THE "ASSURANCE."
T. P. O'CONNOR'S STORY. LONDON, 30th March. Mr. T. P. O'Connor, writing on Sunday to the Freeman's Journal, Dublin, stated that Colonel Seely's assurance to Brigadier-General Gough was written on Monday. Colonel Seely attached so little importance to it that he did not tell Mr. Aequith about it until Tuesday. Mr. Lloyd George, seen by a friend on Tuesday, wa* not aware of the communication, and was in high spirits at the magnificent way in which the Government had defined its position that it did not hold the doctrine of the Parliament^ supremacy over the Army. Ho went to the Cabinet Council and then learned the a,wful secret. He immediately saw the abyss into which the Government was about to fall. Mr. Lloyd George, a man of prompt decision, saw immediately, that the Government must repudiate the fatal surrender of all its 'constitutional principles.
