BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S ATTITUDE TO PEACE TALK.
SERIOUS PROPOSALS WOULD BE DISCUSSED BY ALLIES ~~ t PARLIAMENT WOULD BE INFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (Received December 9, 11 p.m.) London, December 8. Replying in the House of Commons to a question put by Mr. P. Snowden, Mr. Asquith said the allies had mutually agreed not to conclude peace separately. The Prime Minister added: "If serious proposals for a general peace are submitted by the enemy, either through a neutral or direct, they will first be discussed by the allied Governments. It will be the desire of the Government to take Parliament into its confidence at the earliest possible moment.''
