"BOTH- SIDES SHOULD CONFER. '

MORE CONCILIATORY TEMPER PREVAILS.

[press association.]

LONDON, May 23.

The Times endorses its correspondent's recommendation that as -at Philadelphia in 1787, when the Constitutior was hammered into shape, and .also in South Africa in 1909, a conference should be held between the leaders of both sides, behind closed doora, to adopt a working compromise which will gradually commend itself to the good sense of the nation.

The Times remarks that every rightminded person would prefer at any time a pacific solution of political questions, for they are less important than a revolutionary change in an ancient Constitution. How much more bo now that the Crown has just passed from the most popular and trusted of all sovereigns into the hands of a comparatively young and necessarily inexperienced successor. It is impossible to place a responsibility on King George's shoulders which King Edward might have borne. There are grounds for hoping that sane counsels will prevail. The Daily News says there is no need for anything to be done hastily. There is room on both sides ait last to exchange views. It adds that the interruption of the march of events was so sudden and mournful and came with so humanising an appeal that «b cannot count for nothing. The Chronicle emphasises that there is a gentler spirit and a more conciliatory temper on both sides.
