His power was in him- self, not in his office, and in n sense he had just as much, or just as little, influence after b resignation as when he was prima minister, Calm Through Al Throughout the awful years of war, and .the dreadful years, of peacemaking, Asquith remained the same calm, steady bulwaik of English ability and respect- ability. During all those trying times he scarcely raised his voice above an even tome. Blood had never got into his eyes, even when Lloyd George split his' beloved Liberal Party wide open. Asquith was growing old, but he held his grip of'affairs with quiet ltenlcl(y. He lived not only to see the prodigal Lloyd George re- turned to the fold of orthodox Liberalism but to make Britain's first labor government possible by withdrawing Liberal suppoit from the Conservative regime which Stanley Baldwin had led to disaster in the general election of December, 1923. Upon Bonar Law’s death Bald- win had inherited a large majori- Ity in the House of Commons. But Baldwin wanted a mandate .of his own, so he went to the voters on the issue of imperial tariffs. Lloy1 George returned from his trium- phant Amgerican tour to plunge into the campaign under Asquith’s Itmnner. for when free trade was at stake the schism in the Lib- eral party disappeared overnigh Baldwin's defeat was stunning; Conservatilves retained only 257 of Bonar Law's 347 seats. Labor held 191, the United Liberals 159, while six indepandenu were re- turned. Meets New Conditions An unprecedented political sit- uation confronted Great Britain: No party had the necessary ma- jority to form a government. La- bor was knocking at the door ae the second strongest party. With eh-rlcterhllc composure Asquith met the new crisis and k hurts{on January 17, 1924, he announced “full of{that Liberals would support the Labor vbte of no confillence in the Baldwin government. Bald- ed to power and the two-centu precedent of England’s two-party system was destroyed. Thus at the age of 72 Asquith met another great crisis and dealt with ‘t with the vigorous fresh viewpoint of the youth who had entered the House of Commons nearly #) years before. Asquith started lite with no ad- vantages of fortune. FHe was bora September 12, 1852 of & middic- class, non-conformist Yorkshire tamily. His father dled when he -|was eight and the boy went ‘o London to school. At school he won prize after prize. Then two scholarships to Balliol College his way.

Asquith played quoits. In later life golf was his recreation. Admitted to Bar In 1876 ‘Asquith was admittcd to the bar, and when still an al- barrister, married his first wife, Helen Melland of Manchester. Four children were born of the union. His wife died in 1891 and later he pursued and captured the cleyerest political woman of London of that day, Miss Margot Tennant. Five chil- dren were born of the subsequent marriage. Three died at birth. Asquith entered parliament in 1886, giving up a highly success- ful legal practice and three-quar- ters of his income. He was onc of few young parliamentarians to have had his maiden speech euic- gized by Joseph Chamberlain, and his “clear ideas, lucid style anl brilliant oratory soon attractad attention from older members of the house. Shortly after his elec- tion one of his motions brought about the downfall of Lord Salis bury’s cabinet and Gladstone asz- cended to power. Six years later Gladstone gave him the Home Of fice portfollo and thus at the age of 40 he was a cabinet minister. He conducted great reforms in the Home Office, and then was put on the opposition benches for ten years by the victory of the Unionist party and Lord Salis- bury, who was succeeded by lus nephew, Arthur Balfour. Made Liberal Ltader Liberals returned to power iu 1905 and Asquith was made Chaa cellor of the Exchequer under Sir Harry Campbell-Bannerman. 1fe introduced three budgets and showed such talents in Kkeepiug the nation’s checkbook that whén the prime minister died in 1008 there was no reason for the Lih- eral party to seek a leader. As- quith was the logical man, Once in power Asquith began a policy of radical parliamentaty, social and constitutional reforin that continued throughout his ca- reer, and by no means the least radical of his acts was that of 1924 when his attitude made pos sible Labor rule in England. No political figure n a century had such important problems to solve; tree trade fights, opposition froia the House of Lords, the Great War, and finally the question “should Labor rule?” In all these great crises his calm and direct manner securedl support from his friends and re- spect from his political enemles. Being without egotism, vanity, jealousy or paltriness, he did not ingist on playing the leading roie always. When one of his co! leagues in the cabinet suggestéd a reform he let him work it nut in his own way, at the same time glyifig him his strong and whole hearted support. When the na tional insurance scheme providing sickness benefits, the workman's compensation act, old-age pensfon: for the poorer classes and 'the measure restricting the power of the House of Lords to veto popi: lar legislation were under discus- sion, Asauith lent them all the support of his strong intellect and lucid, orderly thought. Skillful in War The Great War came to hie calm being like a bolt from the blue, but he handled the cri with great skill until the,disjolat- ed times demanded a more emo tional leader. In foreign affaits Asquith had wanted the closest relations with foreign powers. He was without prejudice or ill-feel ing abroad, as at home. He dis- liked the prevalent Russophobla | of his land. Hé stood by the en- [ tente with France but he looked upon the alllance as but the first step toward a series of other eun tentes in which Germany would tind her place. However, he did not want for mal allinnces. In these days of European 'appeals for Americap participation in continental fairs, Asquith’s words in what i: probably his best remembered speech of the pre-war era real strangely. He asked: “What have the people of Great Britain done or suffered that they must now go touting alliances in th highways and byways of Europe Sympathies With U. S. As for his American attitude, even before Anglo-American ac- cord became the subject of such hands-across-the-3en ‘M?. Asquith stood much moré strongly than manv ll-ll:l; statesmen for the lf’rhn.:’ liest of relations with the Unite. States. Speaking during the Spanish-American war, he sald: CAN DO ABOUT LT NOW = AL THE BILNGOATS ARE FOR WM .HOOK LINE AND SINKER . AND NOUR AWAY. CUIEE =G AINTGOT A \NGTE S JuST A DROP INTHE BARREL! \NELL. BARNEY SUITS ME = He S A REAL MAN oF e PBOPLE = LIKE WENRY CLAY - “My sympathies are and have been from the first, entirely and heartily with the United States.” In liberating Cuba, he said, th» American nation was responding to ‘the demand of humanity and liberty, and was setting a wortihy example to the great powers cf the world. Speaking later in the {same year, he rejoiced ‘in the drawing together of the American {and English peoples “not in a durable but by and bond.” SKINNER RETURNS FROM TRIP SOUTH G. H.
