After the premier's speech. which
lasted one hour and ffty-hve minutes.
former Premier Asquith, rising to re-
ply, said his one desire was TO place
at the disposal of the government
whatever experience he possessed.
The former premier, after declaring
that his first duty was to extend con-
gratulations which he did with all
his heart, to Lloyd George upon his
accession to the highest and most I'M
portant Office in the service of the
crown, made a brief but pointed ref
erence to the question of peace.
'"rhe country he said, has just re-
ceived some so-called peace proposals
from Germany. True, these proposals
are wrapped up with the familiar dia-
lect of Prussian arrogance. But how
comes it after two years of war that
a power which processes itself con
scious of military superiority and ultl-
mate victory begins to whisper-nay
even to shout so that all the world
can hear-the word 'peaceT
'Is this from a sudden access of
chivalry? When did the German chan
cellor become so sensitive to the die
tates of humanity?
I'VE must look elsewhere for the
origin of these proposals. They are
born of military and economic neces-
! sity. We all yearn for peace, but 1t

faced. peace. There must be no
patched-up, precarious compromise. 1t
must be peace that achieves the pur-
pose for which We entered the war.
Such a peace we would gladly accept.
Anything short of it we are bound to
repudiate by every obligation of honor
and. above all, by the debt we owe
those who have given their lives to the
cause.
Sees No Hope in Note.
81 see nothing in the note from Ger
many which gives me the least reason
to believe that they are prepared to
give US reparation and security. If
they are In such a mood. if they are
prepared to give US reparation for the
past and security for the future, let
them say So.
The former prime minister also spoke
of the general situation, saying:
"The prospects regarding finance
and transport are serious, but not SO
serious as to justify misgivings or
alarm. But the difficulties will not be
solved, as some seem to think who mis-
take hustle for business and vehemence
for strength, by short cuts or series
of coups de main.
I agree with Mr.. Lloyd George about
Rumania; it has been bad business,
and 1t is impossible to apportion the
degree of responsibility therefor. But
II is a. good illustration of the urgent
necessity of more intimate co-opera-
tion.'

Manila-With announcement that
shares Of stock in the new Philippine
National bank would be put on sale at
once, the insular government has
taken its first steps in the actual Or
ganization of the $l0,0Q0,000 bank au-
thorized by the last insular legisla-
ture Harvey p. Willis, the first pres
ident of the bank, formerly secretary
of the federal reserve board of the
national government, is expected to
arrive within two months to take over
his duties and it is hoped to have the
bank machinery ready for operation
when he gets to Manila.
Samuel Ferguson. acting executive
secretary, has been named vice presi-
dent of the bank, and will direct its af-
fairs in the organization period until
the arrival of his chief. William H.
Anderson, head of one of the greatest
American firms in the islands, Leon
Rosenthal an American of many years
residence here, head of the local
agency OF the Shanghai Life Insurance
company, Venancio Conception, for

collector of internal revenue, Theodore

Pine merchant and Vincente Singson
Encarnacion, member of the Philip
pine commission since the arrival of
Governor General Harrison, constitute
the board of directors.
Of the 100000 shares, the insular
government is to take l01 900 the rest
being offered to the public. The gov
ernment's share is to be paid for with
$3.50, 900 from the insular treasury,
100000 from the agricultural bank
which now is merged with the insular
bank, $500 600 from the payment Of a
loan made last year to negro sugar
planters and the rest from other gov
eminent sources.
There was fight in the legislature
as to the character OF the bank One
faction wished it to be largely agri-
cultural in its purpose in order that
it might aid Philippine farmers to get
the most out of their soil. The bill
as passed, was a compromise and
really establishes a general bank
which is expected to pay particular
attention to agriculture.
