Member of Upper House Says if
Russia Got Bid of Grand Duke,
So Could Britain of Premier.
CENSORSHIP BITTERLY FLAYED
LONDON, Nov. 4. Cabinet re
sponsibility, the conduct of the war
and the censorship were discussed,
criticised and defended at a short
sitting of the House of Lords this
evening.
Daron St. Davids started the dis
cussion by demanding that a full
meeting of the privy council, which
Is composed of some hundreds of
members from all parts of the em
pire, should be called to discuss the
present position of affairs.
He said he believed the war would
have been better conducted by the
late liberal government than by ths -present
coalition. The late govern
ment, he said, carried on the war
with great vigor, while since tha
coalition waa formed no extraor-
dinary vigor was noticeable. 1 Ha
declared that those who have made
mistakes should be "scrapped" and
that hereafter no man should be
given office merely because of for
mer services or rank or wealth.
Should lie Held Resnonalal. ,
Lord Wllloughby de Broke declared that
Premier Asqulth should be held responsi
ble for all mistakes.
"If Russia could get rid of Grand Duke
Nicholas in the middle of the war," he
said, "England could get rid of Asqulth.1
Viscount Morley of Blackburn depre
cated the attacks on tha premier and
pointed out that when ha left the cabi
net he did not trouble the lords with any
reasons which he considered good prac
tice and especially when tha country is
at war. Speaking of the censorship, he
asked the government to take steps to
prevent official interference with i-
publication of Intelligence unless It was
calculated to prejudice military and na
val operations. The freedom of the prase
he declared to be as Important as the
greatest constitutional Issue,
He agreed with Lord Belborne when he
spoke of the stupidity of the censor's
actions. Everything which made tha
enemy think tha country was afraid of
the truth was an encouragement te the
enemy.
Lord Morley deplored the effeot on
neutrals of "the ostrich-like activities
and childish insincerities," of the censor
ship. It seems, he said, as though the '
censors had a standing order to "keep
the barometer nailed fast and set fair."
Baron Ribblesdale pointed out that
Premier Asqulth had assumed responsi
bility for "the past, present and future"
and could not see what more was
wanted.
The lord chancellor, Sir Stanley Q.
Buckmaster. replying to Lord Morley,
said he believed a strict and vigorous
censorship was required for the safely
and protection of the troops. The cen-.
sorshlp was designed to prevent Im
prudent war cables from being sent
abroad and to prevent home newspapers
from printing anything that might be of
use to the enemy.
Because of lack of experience the
early history of the press bureau, he
said, waa deplorable, and Its ac
tions were often unjust and unreason
able, but never Intentionally unfair. The
statement that the London editors were
dissatisfied with the press bureau as It
existed today was absolutely contra
dicted by the facU. In his experience,
he said, bad news was never kept back,
but he did object to cables passing
through this country which "dlsslminatad
German lies."
