TUB NATIONALISTS' DECREE. AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT. TIIEJ PEOPLE ■■SHOULD DECIDE. '"' Ey Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received 18, 5.5 p.m. London, January IS. Mr. Herbert Samuel, Postmaster-Cen-erul, speaking at Eston, said that the Nationalists sincerely wished, an amicable settlement.

There never had been any agreement' tn connection with great controversies where either party got wholly its own way.

Mr J. Campbell, Unionist M.P. speaking «t York, stated that their opponents said they ought not to introduce the King's name. This came late from those who in the case of the Parliamentary Bill grossly deceived the late Kin* Edward, dragging his name into the controversy. Would the King exceed his constitutional rights if Ministers, when asking his assent, told, them that they were threatening him with the horrors of civil war?
