SPEECH BY AIR ASQUITH. LESSONS TO BE LEARNED BY LABOUR. (Received January 21, 5.15 p.m.) LONDON, January 20. Mr Asquith, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at St. Andrew’s, declared that the Socialist bogey had now superseded tho Home Rule bogey.

A'.r Asquith denied that tho Liberals had conducted tbo campaign with mendacity and passion. They had won because tho people preferred tho plain, common-place, uncolourcd facto of history to a gaudy fictitious tariff propaganda.
