MR. ASQUITH'S ADVICE.
LONDON, August 13. Mr. Asquith regretted the unfortunate controversy. He said that undoubtedly there had been some misunderstanding. Tlie disclosures showed the impossibility of a Minister filling a dual capacity. A conflict of interest must eventually arise. The only peace which would satisfy the Allied people and recompense the sacrifices made was a peace approved by the peoples of all the countries concerned. He would be sorry, if, as a result of the debate, Jt went forth to the world that Labour favoured going to Stockholm to pave the way for a precarious and dishonourable peace. Labour's declaration of policy showed that they were determined to pursue the war to the end. There was no doubt about Labour, except an insignificant minority.
