IMPERIAL POLITICS.
STRONG FACE—WEAK KNEES. MR. ASQUITH CRITICISED. THE MANUFACTURE OF PEERS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received April 24, 5.5 p.m. London, April 23.
Sir Henry Carson, ex-Solicitor-General for Ireland, speaking at Eastbourne, and referring to Mr. Asquith, said nothing was more dangerous to the State than a man with a strong face having weak knees. The declaration that in hypothetical circumstances the premier was going to advise the King to make five hundred peei'3 was a scandalous threat. If the tragedy occurred the five hundred would be branded, not as peers of the realm, but as scavengers of the Liberal Party, who sold themselves for a dirty job.
