LONDON, March The House of Commons was crow with distinguished visitors, includin those from the Dominions, when Asquith rose to take his statement re- garding the Dardanelles Report. He Faked If it was to the national "inter osts not to print the evidence, why in the name of commonsense and common justice did not the same argument apply to the report itself! The problems of the first four months of the war wore a numerous and complicated as over con- fronted a Statesman, and he was contenti to leave the manner of their handling to the judgment of history. He defended the war procedure of the previous Cabinet, and denied that there was any lack of precision, or that experts were not given opportunities to express their views.

Mira Asquith took exception to the Commission's references to the late Lord Kitchener, after mentioning that Lord Haldane was one of those who most strongly pressed for the appointment of Lord Kitchener. Although the lotter was masterful and endowed with a formidable personality and was dispoeld keep his own counsel, it was a com plete mistake to suggest that he lived in isolation, not consulting military opinion pa no man in our history had n Eeavier burden been inid: hence he was indignant at the recent attacks upon the late Lord Kitchener.
