THE SECRET SESSION
(PRESS ASSOCIATION".)
COMMENT ON THE ORDER FOR
SILENCE,
(Received April 25, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 24th April. The Times says that nearly all the troubles of Mr. Asquith's Administration have sprung from want of candour. The Order-in-Council in which he now seeks refuge is to cloud everything deeper in mystery". The Daily Telegraph says that in the attempt to destroy the Government campaign invective has been carried to the extreme. It hopes the Government will firmly hold to tho resolution tc maintain the secrecy of the Cabinet, but if Ministers fetter writers, speakers must keep a rigid guard on their own expressions. The Daily Mail says that the order means that the Premier has no hope of inducing Ministers to bold their tongues. If there is any Cabinet leakage, it must be due to the indiscretions of talkative Ministers.
