ASQUITH'S REPLY TO FRENCH

DOCUMENTS DISCLOSED.

Mr. Asquith, speaking at a luncheon held at the Connaught Rooms, en Juro ard, dealt at considerable length with the statements mada by Viseound French in bis book, 1914.'*

Mr. Asquith, in the course of his speech, said he was going to show that not only had the allegations of deliberate apathy, calculated and callous neglect, during the first year of the war on the part of the Government in the provision of an ade quate supply of artillery, ammunition for the armies in the field, no foundation in fact, but that no one ought to know better that it had no foundation than Lord French himself.

Pausing to refer to Lord French' account of the visit paid to him in Paris by Lord Kitchener, Mr. Asquith said: The Government received-I received- a message from Lord French as to the contemplated movements, which I commu alcated to my colleagues, and with regard to which it is no exaggeration to say that it Alled the whole Cabinet with conster nation. There are several of my col leagues here who sat in that Cabinet, and they will bear me out that it filled us with cunsterration. And why! Beenuse the movement which it indicated would, in our judgment, have amounted in effect to leaving onr Allies in the lurch in the moment of their extreme need, and the consternation which we felt was shared and expressed to us in moving terms by the head of the French (overnment. was in these circumstances that Lord Kitchener, at the unanimous request of his colleague, undertook his mission to France-a mission which successfully achieved our common object, and which, in my judgment, saved our cause from an indelible reprunch."

Having summarised the action taken by, his Government in the matter of muni- tions. Mr. Asquith proceeded:" "Lord

French says, to iny surpris, that he was always an advocate of high explosives for our field gana, but that his demands were: rejected. I have seen no more surprising statement: He was chief military adviser to the Governinent for years before the war, and this is the first time that hor anyone whom I have been able to consult has ever heard of any such demand. There Is no trace of it, I am informed, in official

·records."

Mr. Asquith said he used to see Lord Kitchener daily, often two or three times a day, and he believed hardly a day pass- ed int he did not press him--not that be needed his pressure to hurry on and in crease the production of munitions by every possible means. So dissatisfied and soap- prehensive did be become at the relatively slow rate of progress, as compared with their expectations and hopes, that he re- solved to make a direct personal appeal both to masters and to men. That was the object and the motive of his, visit to Newenstle

LORD KITCHENER'S LETTER

He determined to make sure of his ground and be instructed Lord Kif chener to send For Sir John French, and to get from him a precise report and survey of the then military situation. Bir John French came over. He was scen by Lord Kitchener, I have the letter in Lord Kitchener's own handwriting, which he wrote to me immediately after the interview with Sir John French. It was as follows:-

My dear Prime Minister-I have had a talk with French. He told me I could let you know that with the pre- tent supply of ammunition be will have as mach as his troops will be able to use on the next forward movement." "Lord French's ridiculous. suggestion that his action in this matter had some. thing to do with his subsequent removal from the command is hardly worthy of rious notice. continued Mr. Asquith. . He remained in full command for more: than six months, and though I beard strange rumours, which appear to have had more foundation in fact than I then believed, I never took the pains to in quire what part he had played, or whe ther he had played any part, in the news paper campaign which he now claims to have inspired. When the retirement came, and I take on myself the full and sole responsibility for it, it was reason, that had no more to do with the supply of shells than with the next clips of the moon,"

In conclusion, Mr. Asquith -read the following extract from a letter addressed to him by Lord French from the Head- quarters of the British Ariny in France. dated May 20th, 1015, three days after the formation of the Coalition Ministry-

"My dear Prime Minister,--For two days I have been hesitating to add one iola to the troubles, and anxieties which must weigh upon you just now. You have, however, shown me so much true, generous kindness throughout this trying campaign that I venture, at this critical juncture, tó convey to you what is in my inmost thoughts. I am sure, in the whole history of war, no general in the field has ever been helped in a difficult task by the head of his Govern. ment as I have been supported and strengthened by your unfailing sym pathy and encouragement."
