London, December 21. The Times states that Mr. Asquith would show a wise moderation in trying to reach a settlement by conference. The same issues would require decision, and next year he would be clothed with no more adequate authority. The Times cherishes the hope that he will follow his own precedent, and espouse the cause .of sound statesmanship against revolutionary violence.
