THE QUESTION OF A NEW GOVERNMENT.
DISCOURAGED BY LORD HUGH CECIL. (Reed. 8.15 a.m.). LONDON, April 30. Lord Hugh Cecil writes to the Times. While the present Ministry is not indispensable it has the quality which may rightly be s o called, namely, the confidence of the main body of Liberal opinion, which, thanks to Mr. ASquith's leadership, unanimously supports the war, notwithstanding the traditional liberal dislike of war.' It therefore is indispensible that this attitude of liberalism should continue. If Mr. Lloyd George fors a Government with Carson and Lord Milner's assistance, there would arise the tendency of Liberals to drift from approval of the war and to adopt a pacificist position. This would be a national disaster. He doubts whether a Ministry without Mr. Asquith would command confidence.
