MR ASQUITH.
RETIREMENT FROM POLITICS.
MR LLOYD GEORGE LEANING TO-
WARDS LABOUR.
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) (Received Saturday, 9.25 a.i_.) LONDON, Friday. The Times, in commenting on Mr Asquith's reported refusal to accept nomination for the Spen Valley seat, declares that it is a .distinct loss to Parliamentary efficiency that Mr Asquith's voice and counsel are not available in the House of Commons. The paper adheres to its previous censure of Mr Asquith, but says that his experience will be valuable at a time like the present. • The paper adds: There may be truth in the suggestion that the Premier contemplates breaking with the Unionists in order to seek an alliance with Labour. It is noteworthy • that Mr Bonar Law, at a banquet, eulogised the Pre■mier as representing the nation's soul during the war.
