THE SHRIEKING SISTERS
By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright "Times" and Sydney "Sun" Service*. (Received July 14, 9 p.m.) LONDON, July 14. The “Daily Mail,” commenting on the discussion in Parliament, says that the House of Commons is completely undev Mr Asquith’s thumb. It accuses him of stifling inquiry and blankly refusing information to members wishful to know more about the shell scandals and other war failures. “The Times” comments that Sir John French’s despatch is the first intimation that Hill 60 was lost. Such incidents are tending to create mistrust. “The Times” points out that Lord Robert Cecil’s reply regarding cotton exports is not altogether satisfactory. The Government is seemingly mqre alive to the difficulties than to the importance of the question. The paper advocates securing a guarantee, by a friendly arrangement, whereby cotton reaching neutrals shall not he allowed to pass on to Germany. It is necessary to impress upon the countries concerned that Britain is determined to end the traffic. If the leakage continues, she will be forced to stop all cotton reaching any country .not observing the arrangement.
