Resolutions
Premier Asquith Refuses to Define
More Definitely His Naval Policy
and is Sustained.

LONDON, May 27.-The House of Com
mons tonight concluded the general debate
on the budget resolutions. which were
adopted after an unusually prolonged and
heated discussion. David Lloyd-George,
chancellor Of the excequer, thereupon in
troduced the finance bill, dealing with his
financial proposals.
Earlier in the evening an acrimonious
discussion arose over opposition to attempts
to compel Premier Asquith to define anew
whether in estimating the number of ships
necessary for Great Britain to maintain a
fleet 10 per cent more powerful than the
combined fleets Of any other two powers.
the government had in mind any specific
powers or If the plan was purely European.
The intention was to elicit a statement as to
whether the United States was included In
the estimate. Mr., Asquith declined to COM
NIT himself beyond saying that everything
would depend upon geographical conditions.
He said he could not treat powers thou
sands of miles distant Just as powers only
hundreds of miles distant. For instance,
the premier declared, the United States
had more battleships now than Germany,
but 1t was impossible to regard them for
aggressive purposes in the same category
as those of France, Germany or Austria.
A. ]. Balfour and others of the Unionist
members expressed their dissatisfaction
over Mr.. Asquith's reply, but the house
by a large majority adopted a motion OF
confidence after the premier's statement.

$1,000 plurality against my nearest COM
petitor, and 1900 plurality, I'm round num-
bers, against Senator Mason. / had sup
posed, as many Nothers, that the primary
law was to determine the result of the SEN

uary I found a different condition existed.
l found that many Of the MEMBERS OF the
general assembly felt that they should be
guided and controlled by the vote in their
respective districts, and others believed,
as I believed. that the general result OF the
entire state was to determine this ques-
ton.
Il have no criticism to make as respects
the attitude taken by these gentlemen who
