BRITISH GENERAL ELECTION
MR. ASQUITH'S OBJECTIONS. (Rec. November 20, 9.15 p.m.) London, November 19. j Mr. Asquith, addressing a meeting of London Liberals, said that -during' the I next six months the future of the world's development would be in the crucible. Therefore, it would be u blunder and calamity to plunge Britain into tho tumult of a general election. The strongest argument against Hie election was the fact that the soldiers would not be returned in time to participate in the voting, ,nml the Parliament thus brought into existence would be so truncated and mutilated that it would lack moral authority. Ho entered the election frankly as a Liberal, but was prepared to support any Government which would grapple with reconstruction problems on progressive lines. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
