THAN EVER."
MR ASQUITH CONFERS WITH THE KING.
(Received Friday, at 12.5 a.m.)
LONDON, Thursday
Mr Asquith had a prolonged interviow Avith tho King prior to the debate, and also with Lord Stamfordham, who Avas present throughout the recent debates.
Tho of Commons Avas crowded.
Mr Balfour, Avho Avas hurriedly summoned from Cannes, entered during the debate, and was cheered.
Mr Bonar Law, in moving tho A*ote of censure, said in vicav of Mr Churchill's speech, and Mr Asquith's approval, the situation Avas more dangerous than ever. It Avas not true that the Opposition had demanded details in order to obtain a, larger target for their fire. If the Premier chose to introduce into the Bill a suggestion in the direction of submitting a referendum to the country, Lord Lansdowne Avould be willing to use his influence in the' House of Lords to induce them, to offer no objection to carrying out the people's decision. If it Avere only a question of disorder, the Army Avould and ought to obey, but if it came to civil Avar the soldiers Avere citizens like the rest of the people.
