BRITISH POLITICS.
MR RAMSAY MACDONALD'S
ADVICE,
GET THE KING'S GUARANTEE —AND PROCEED WITH THE BUDGEr.
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright. Received March 7, 10 p.m. LONDON, March 7.
Mr Ramsay Macdonald, Labour member, speaking at Caxton Hall, appealed to Mr Asquith not to waste time by sending his resolutions to the Lords, who would decline to discuss them. Mr Asquith would then be unable to ask the King for guarantees, because the Lords would reply that they were prepared to discuss the Bill when they knew the detailed proposals. If Mr Asquith humiliated and checkmated, then sent the Bill un its weary way to the Lords, the Liberals would get such a thrashing when they appealed to the country as the Tories got in 1906. "Let Mr Asquith," said Mr Macdonald, "introduce the Bill Rtraight into the Lords and then go to the King." There would not then even be need for another election. The Budget should pass before the appeal was made to the country.
