(Received September 30, 8.30 a.m.)
- '■''■':':■■: ■■: ;.':;-/\ '.'■■'■■ London, September. V Mr. Asquith, addressing the National Liberal Federation, said.,: "We must be, oh our.guard to see that our unexampled sacrifices are not frittered away. They will be frittered unless we can procure a clean peace which does Hot offend the conscience either of the victim or therest of mankind. We can have ■110 clean peace if there is a continuation of veiled war or a peace designed ii> inflict permanent humiliation and dismemberment on the enemy; ' The Austrian peace note was impracticable. The only acceptable peace is one giving self-determination'arid security to all nations; large and small." ■; •■ It would be, .said Sir,' Asquith, in the highest degree undesirable to have A general election during the war. An election would''dissipate tfhergy and break u,p national unity. Nothing in the war suggests that we will be better off after peace by any system of tariffs preferential or differential, punitive or prohibitive.;- ... ■■-■■' •■•■..■•■•■■. \. . ■■'••'■.•■. :■■ '"'■■■■:- ■■■'■: -/,:.'
