ELECTION SHOULD
NOT INTERFERE
SAYS ASQUITH

London, Monday. Nov. 1S.-Herbert
H. Asquith, former premier, in deliv-
ering an election speech at Caxton
hail. Westminster, tonight. said that
when the whole future international
development Of the world was in the
crucible it was both a blunder and Il
calamity that the country should be
plunged into the .umult Of a general
election.
I'm normal times the country would
be in a fever Of excitement over the
election. Interest IN politics. however.
is now submerged under the greater
interest in the closing events of the
war.
The political situation is peculiar,
because there is only one man in the
field and there is no concentrated OPP
position to him. All factions approve
Of Lloyd Georges reconstruction
plans SO far as they go. What oppo-
sition exists is divided into two Sec
tons.
The first is the old liberal organiz-
alton led by Asquith, which opposes
WV SiSN'ioii dS uliIilllely pTlnClpdily
because only 40 per cent. ~ the SOL
diers. according to their estimates.
will be able to vote. They say the
soldiers have the greatest claim to
voice in the settlement of the war.
The other question is the labor
party, which has it's own program,
including the naturalization Of rail-
ways. mines and other public works,
with compensation to the owners.

of more than 10 times the strength

August, 1914, was raised by volun-

organizing genius and personal in
