MT. Asquith's Election
(NeW York WOrldl


 The election to Parliament of former Premier Asquith from the Paisley constituency is the hardest blow the Lloyd George Coalition Government has had to bear since the general election following close upon the signing of the armstice. It is the climax of long series of repulses extending the last twelve months. Only four days before the Paisley election, the Independent candidate in three-cor- nered contest was elected by substantial plurality in the Wrekin Division of Shropshire where in De cember, 1918, Coalition-Lbera unopposed Up to the last general election MT. Asquith had represented East Fife in the House of Commons con- tnuously since 1886. The defeat of the veteran Liberal leader after thirty-two years service, by Unionist by over 2,000 votes seemed the tragic ending of distinguished career. It was hailed by his opponents marking his final retirement from public life. Sooner than to have been expected he has had his revenge He not only led J. NJ Biggar the Labor candidate, by 2.S54 votes, but between them they almost wiped the Coalition vote, re- ducing it to than one-seventh of the total vote boiled in division where Liberal had been elect ed by only 106 votes in 191S
 As the member for Paisley MT. Asquith again returns Parliament after the hardest fought cam pagn in his long political experience. He had to face the aggressive opposition of the Coalition gov ernment, which had good reason to fear the reap alism and of the Labor Party which sent to Mr. Bggars assistance it's ablest campaingners. In his speeches he criticised fearlessly the terms of the peace treaty, with special reference to the new frontiers and the indemnities. He insisted that the frontiers of Central and Eastern Europe must necessarily be provisional and that the League of Nations would furnish the appropriate authority for future establishments where required by consd- erations of nationality and self-determnation As for the financial provisions of the treaty, he held that 1t was absolutely impossible that Germany could meet the conditions imposed upon it. and that Aus trias state far desperate. Of the enormous separations exacted of them, he spoke the base less fabric of vision.
 From now on Premier Lloyd George will have 10 face adversary certain to cause him uncomfor- table moments and the Liberal Party may hope to a position of real influence
