Press Asssociation-I3y Telegraph-Copyright LONDON, May V.
Lord Charles Bores lord, speaking in the Liverpool Town Hall, alter receiving the degree of Doctor of Laws, said the committee now sitting on naval defence was as fair a committee as had ever been summoned before. If they found things not. as they should he, which lie had no doubt they would, there would he no necessity for panic or recrimination. Let them return.to the old British style, lay the whole thing on the table, look at it and. see where it was wrong, and calmly and quietly put it right without recrimination from parties, or individuals. In a. speech at Southport Physical Training College, 'Lord Beresford sajd he had great, faith in -Mr Asquith's committee. • There would be many points destined to become public, and cause dissatisfaction, but. let them bury party feeling and get together and put things right. No party wanted to see foreigners here. He did not belong to the party in power, but they were taking a national view of naval affairs, and anything he could do to help them he would to the best of his ability. What had happened Mas that we had deferred our liabilities and obligations, and when an individual or a nation did: that they must get money somewhere and put bimself or itself right.
