In our opinion the moderation and

his public utterance on the defeat Of his

make good his ambition to improve the

Tho Asquith Cabinets Humiliation.

The British Governments surrender
10 General HUBERr GouaH and Nifty
seven other officers of the Third Cav
airy Brigade who resigned rather than
serve in Ulster was proved absolutely
By the report which Colonel the Right
Hon. JOHN EDWARD BERNARD SEELY,
the Secretary Of State for War. made
to the House Of Commons yesterday.
Il Is incontrovertible that General
0oUeH and his brother officers were
retained in the army upon their own
terms. which were that they should
not be called upon to assist in main
tanning the Governments authority in
Ulster. The fact cannot be explained
away. 1t stands out stark and shame
full In the assurance made to those
officers that while the Government must
insist upon "the right to use all the
forces of the Crown in ireland and
elsewhere to maintain law and order
there is no intention to take
advantage Of this right to crush the
political opposition to home rule in
Ireland"
More puerile sophistry was never
employed by Il British Government in
q crisis of its fortunes. and the worst
Of the matter Is that a grievous injury
has been done to democratic govern
lnent In England. The fears Of thought
