AsoUITH DRIVEN 10 CORNER.
Bestows Faint Praise Upon Winston
Churchill.


Misunderstanding in the house OF
commons yesterday afternoon Pre-
mier Asquith rectified his omission to
mention home rule in his speech at
the liberal meeting at the Reform
club yesterday morning, and gave
practically complete adhesion to the
home rule pledges given by Winston
Spencer Churchill during the re-
cent electoral campaign at Man
chester.
The subject was brought up by
Walter Long, conservative, who ask
ed the premier if Mr.. Churchill's
pledges had his sanction and authori-
ty, and if so, whether he would give
the house an opportunity of discuss
ing the change in the governments
policy.
Mr.. Asquith replied:
There has been no change in the
policy of the government, which was
fully defined by the chief secretary
for Ireland and myself in this house
on March 80. ! did not authorize Mr..
Churchill to make and I am satisfied
that he has not made any state,
ments inconsistent with the previous
declarations of the government. He
did not say anything which I have
not said expressly or by plain impli-
cation in my speech, and, therefore,
his statement represents what l
said.''
Pressed to say why, II this were
so, the speeches of himself and the
chief secretary of Ireland, Birrell,
had failed to satisfy the Irish party,
while Mr.. Churchills utterances
should be quite satisfactory to them,
Mr.. Asquith gave a somewhat hating
Endorsement of Mr.. Churchill. 1t
took half dozen questions to elicit
these pledges piecemeal and they
were received with ironical cheers.
