“A SCANDALOUS THREAT.”

CREATION OF PEERS. Press Association.—'TeWrani. LONDON, April 23. Sir E. Carson, speaking at Eastbourne, said that the Eight Hon. H. H. Asquith was nothing more dangerous to the State than a man with a strong face and weak knees. His declaration that in hypothetical circumstances he was going to advise 'he King to make 500 peers was a scandalous threat. If such a tragedy occurred the 500 would be branded not as peers of the rea’m but as the scavengers of the Liberal Party, who sold themselves for a dirty job.
