RIGHT HON. H. H. ASQUITH.
SPEECH AT GLASGOW. CRITICISM OF GOVERNMENT. [By Electric Cable —Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Wednesday, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 8. Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, speaking at Glasgow, said: "The only bright spot in the International situation is (he assembling of the Washington Conference, which will belie all hopes if it does not result in an agreement upon a scheme for the wholesale reduction of armaments. At Home there are unmistakable signs of the disintegration of the Coalition. Its perpetual oscillations and recantations are leading a large section of its supporters to outbreaks of temper. The most glaring illustration of this is the government of Ireland, in connection with which the Liberal attitude has been completely vindicated. The gates of civil war must not be reopened in Ireland. We have often declared we will not be parties to the coercion of Ulster. Neither will we be parties, at the instance of the Ulster minority, to the coercion of three-fourths of Ireland.”
