Mr Winston Churchill has yet to win the confidence of business men, since his brilliant rhetoric does not go far.

The Times says that Lord Elgin has declined a marquisate. Earl Crewe leads in the House of Lords.

The Telegraph says that Mr Asquith is no "Little Englander," But his uncompromising Cobdenism will bar the way with rtfard to the paramount problem of over-sea nations with the Motherland.
