LONDON, June- 8.

Mr Asquith, speaking at Paisley, asked that the German Government's new proposals should be summarily dismissed, and urged the setting up of a genuine International "Tribunal, on which all parties will be represented. The Government's policy regarding the Eulir was one of benevolent indolence. It was essential that the Allies should act and work together to prevent unemployment. They must get rid of all artificial restrictions on trade, cut down wasteful expenditure, such as the ten millions proposed to be spent on the Singapore base, and for doles they must substitute works of public utility. —Aus.-X.Z.
