FAR EAST POLICY CONDEMNED.

London. November 19.
A Liberal manifesto, signed by Messrs. Asquith and Lloyd Feorge on behalf of the party, declares that the Government elected a year gu on a programme of five years' tranquillity has suddenly decided to plunge the country into the turmoil of a general election onthe unproved and unprovable allegation that tariffs will cure unemployment. It condemns the precipitancy of the tiovernment's action, which is solely due to the signal and disastrous failure of their contact of foreign policy in great matters essential to our livelihood. The Government's blindness and indecision and im- potence have been such that it has ceased to exercise any guiding intinence in European affairs. The same applies to the Eastern policy. The shameless Treaty of Lausanne surrendered all the securities Brush commerce in Turkey, and a similar fate threatens te valuable merkets of the Far East.
