Premier Asquith Declares That
Lords Are Steadily Making
Votes for Liberals

LONDON, Jan. All available prom

busy tonight addressing political meet
ings. Premier Asquith at meeting at
Brighton, from which women were ex-
cluded, and Chancellor Lloyd d-George, at
two meetings In London, made a great

The premier thought that If the peers
only could be induced to prolong this
rate as to volume and venom the liber-
ais almost might be content to hold
their tongues altogether.
The chancellor of the exchequer ex-
pressed the belief that the peers never
worked SO hard in their lives. They
seemed to think that the house of COM
mons was an assembly of lunatics and
that the peers were their keepers. The
peers, he said, were walking through
the valley of humiliation to find work
for the unemployed.

Chancellor Lloyd-George a few nights
ago that statistics showed that in May,
1908, while there were 80 per cent of
unemployed in New York state, there
were only per cent in England. Lord
Rothschild declared that nearly a mil

States every year and that most of them
landed in New York. Therefore there
must always be a number of unem-
ployed in New York
The best proof, he said, that the
United States had recovered from the
great financial panic was the increased
price of American securities. His own
observation had been that when the
diamond trade was brisk there was no
unemployment in America, and that in
the American financial CRISIS South
African companies were at their wits
ends to sell diamonds. He was in
