January -''■ Mr. Will Crooks' remarks concerning Australian preference arose out_ »i an interview with the Daily ( lironicle. ' AS()l T ITII'S DECLARATION. i LORDS' VETO FIRST Ol'KS'l'iON' FOi: DECISION. 1R! -JT SELF-GO\' ERNM EXT 1 FOR PURELY IRISH AFFAIRS. Receive.l January 27, 12.10 a.lll. Loudon. January 20. Mr. Asc]uith, in the eonise of a speech at Fife, deeiined to promise legislation nf any kind till lie lias settled conclusions with the House of Lords. That was a permanent obstacle that must be removed. Till that was done, there was ;io use talking ibout legislation. The Liberal Party was free to support any measures giving Ireland self-government for purely Irish affairs, subject to the unimpaired supremacy of the Imperal Parliament. He was not prepared to

give a jiledpro respecting the Lords' judgment Hoarding the payment of Labor members, l;;it he would consider tiusubject. Writing- to several candidates, )-i;. \\ ! n-eon Chu;vhi)! urged riia electorates to reUirn a strong and independent government.

THE HOME Rl/LE QI'ESTIOX. MR. AStjITITI'S RECLARATIOX MODIFIED. COXSTEUN ATiOX AMONG TILE X A TIO XALIs TS. By Cable—Press Association.—Copyrigitt Lond6n, January 19. The lion. J. A. Pea.se.. Government Whip, in a further speech, said Mr. Asquith, in his Albert Hull speech, yave no pledge that Home Rule would be given to Ireland. What lie said was that the ban which the Liberals imposed upon themselves at the last election was removed, and that the Liberals, if free, desired to extend selfgovernment to Ireland. But everyone in the Government was pledged not give the Irish an independent Parliament, but self-government consistent with the union. The Times' corresponded says that Mr. Pease' statements have created consternation among the Nationalists, and that the election was being fought in Ireland on the question of Home Rule. It is assumed that Mr. Asquith, after Saturday's pollings, expected a majority independent of the Nationalist vote, and directed the Whip to disown the Albert Hall undertaking. The Times adds that Mr. Pease explained, but only when the borough elections were nearly over, that Mr. Asquith really meant nothing in particular at the Albert Hall. The country elections, wherein the Irish vote was insignificant, were beginning, and the Liberals hoped to profit by the repudiation of an intention whereon they had hitherto been trading. The Hon. L. V. Harcourt's expression of " a dirty trick" fittingly described the manoeuvre. What was now meant was that the Home Rule would only be introduced if it served a party purpose.

TARIFF REFORMERS' CAMPAIGN. NEWSPAPER VIEWS OF THE ELECTIONS. London, January 19. The Tariff Reform League has chartered a number of motor 'bus'es. perambulating the country districts with specimens of dumped goods. Tlie Unionist papers contain cablegrams showing anxiety on the part « l Berlin and Hamburg merchants respecting tariff reform, which it is expected will change the conditions of German trade.

Others rejoice at the prospect of free trade being undisturbed. One paper expresses' delight at the defeat of Mr. L. G. Chiozza Money in the Paddington North election, adding that his references to black bread and sausages are the laughing stock of Germany.

THE LORDS' VETO. London, January 19. Mr. Lloyd-Georjje, in the course of a speech, declared it must be madte perfectly clear that if the. Lords rejected a Bill kwnt up the second time it must be sent straight through to the Throne. GRATEFUL PENSIONERS. London, January 19. Prior to Mr. Lloyd-George's meeting at Newtown, 13S8 Montgomeryshire oldage pensioners mounted the platform and expressed gratitude for the benefits that had been conferred on them. MR. HALDANE'S HEALTH. London. January 19. Mr. R. B. Haldane. Secretary of State for War, is recovering, but is still unable to engage in election work. LORD BERESFORD CONGRATULATED. London, January 19.
