CENSURE VOTE IS KILLED
Premier Asquith Successfully Defends
His Position on Peer Question.

London, Aug. S.-A vote of censure
of the government for having obtained
from the king a pledge to create, if
necessary, sufficient peers to pass the
veto bill was rejected by the house of
commons by a majority of 119. The
motion was introduced by Arthur j..
Balfour, leader of the opposition, and
its defeat is regarded as having failed
to improve the Unionist cause.
The gravamen of the opposition's
charge against the government was
that Premier Asquith had taken adj
vantage of the kings ineXperience to
bring about an abuse of the royal pre-
negative by securing the guarantees
before the last general election. Mr..
Asquith easily disposed of this charge
by showing that the ministers had pur-
sued a properly constitutional course.
