Upon Bonar Law’s death Baldwin had | | inherited a large majority in the House ot Commons. But Baldwin wanted a mandate of his own. so he went to the | voters on the issue of imperial tariffs. Llovd George returned from his triumphant American tour to plunge into the campaign under Asquith’s ban- ner, for when free trade was at stake the schism in the Liberal party dis- appeared overnight. Baldwin's defeat was stunning. Conservatives retained only 2 of Bonar Law's 347 seats. Labor held 191. th» United Liberals 159, while six independenis were re- turned. Broke Two-Century Precedent. An unprecedented polit confronted Great Britain. No party had the necessary majority to form a gov- ernment. Labor was knocking at the door as the second strongest party. With cheracteristic composure A met the new crisis and on January 17, 1924. he announced that Liberals would support the Labor vote of no confidence m the Baldwin government aldwin resigned. Labor was inducted to pow destroyed ! Asquith met an- end dealt with it with tresh viewpoint of the routh who had entered the House of Commons nearly 40 vears before. Asquith startad life with no ad- vantages of fortune. He was born September 12, 1852, of a middle-class, non-conformist Yorkshire family. His father died when he was 8 and the boy went to London to school. At school he won prize after prize. Then two scholarships to Balliol College came his way At Oxford he developed as an orator. and. like Lords Curzon, Grey and Milner, belonged to the famous Oxford intellectual clique influenced by Jewett. Young Asquith made no profession toward athletics. but was more human than John Morloy. never knew any physical walking. Asquith plave Ister life golf was his bar, and. when still an almost briefless 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 cap- tured the cleverest political woman of Seventh and | London of that day. Miss Margot Ten- nant. Five children were born of the | subscquent marriage. Three died at | birth. Praised by Chamberlain. | Asquith entered Parliament in 1886, giving up a highly successful legal prac- tice and three-quarters of his income. | He was one of few young parliamen- tarians to have had his maiden speech ! eulogized by Jossph Chamberlain, and his clear ideas, lucid style and brilliant oratory soon attracted attention from | older members of the House. Shortly | after his election one of his motions ! brought about the downfall of Lord Salisbury’s cabinet, and Gladstone to power. Six years later dstone gave him the home office portfolio, and thus at the age of 40 he was a cabinet minister. He con- ducted great reforms in the home office and then was put on the opposition benches for 10 years by the victory of the Unionist party and Lord Salisbury. who was succeeded by his nephew, Arthur Balfour. Liberals returned to power in 1905 and Asquith was made chancellor of the exchequer under Sir Harry Camp- bell-Bannerman. He introduced three | budgets and showed such talents in keeping the nation’s checkbook 4*» when the prime minister died in there was no reason for the Liberal | party to seek a leader. Asquith was the logical man Once m power Asquith fey of radical pariiamentary constitutional reform that | throughout his career. began a- pol- social and continued As for his American attitude, even before Anglo-American accord became the subject of such widespread hand- across-the-sea enthusiasm, Asquith stood much more strongly than meny English statesmen for the of relations with the United States. Speaking during the Spanish-American {war. he said. "My sympathies are. and have been from the :irst. entirely and heartily with the United States.” In liberating Cuba, he said. the Amer- ican Nation was responding to the de- mand of humanity and liberty, and was setting a_worthy example to the great powers of the world. Speaking later in the same vear, he rejoiced in the draw- ing together of the American and Eng- lish peoples “not in a were gust of transient enthusiasm, but Ly a strong and durable bond.” Almost 3.000 new words are candi- dates for entry into American diction- aries every vear.
