Asquith Asserts
Wilson Is Worlds
Chief Statesman

London, Oct. 16.-Herbert H. AS
quith, former premier, speaking at
the National Liberal club here to-
day said that there was no man in
the allied world better qualified to
be a spokesman of the entente ma
tions than President Wilson. Both
of Mr.. Wilson's recent replies to
Germany's peace proposals were
heartily endorsed by Mr.. Asquith.
He said:
Back of the enemy's proposals
are purposes which we have con-
fronted and endured during the
most trying ordeal in our history.
We might have held aloof in Au-
gust, 1914. when the great decision
was faced by the British. govern
ment, but nobody il England can
wish that the country had acted
otherwise at that time. In saving
her soul, Great Britain has saved
the world. If we had stood aside
Germany would have established
herself as a standing and COM
manding menace. political and COLI
mercial, to the rest of Europe and
the world But the material pen
atty would have been comparative
ly light in view of the fatal blow
which would have been inflicted
upon the higher interests OF man
kind.
THE German peace overtures are
sincere in the sense that they have
evidently proceeded from the Ger
man people, who. in their heart Of
hearts. have given up the game. If.
in addressing her overtures, not to
the European allies, but to our
American associates, Germany cal
culated to SOW the seeds of pos
sible dissension and jealousy. it
was another illustration of the
+ chronic clumsiness OF German
diplomacy.
There is no one better qualified
I to be the spokesman of our COM
mon cause than President Wilson.
His two replies to the German
notes are both. in spirit and sub
. stance, exactly what the occasion
required. They were terse, digni-
! fed and outspoken and went to the
heart of the matter. leaving no loop
| holes for dialectfcal or rhetorical
/ escape.
President Wilson's latest note
was addressed, not to Austria, but
Germany alone | wish to empha-
