In this context we should like to take the opportunity

afforded by our reference to the Prime Minister's speech to say how strongly we associate ourselves with the language used by the Unionist leader, Lord Curzon, when defending Mr. Asquith in his Censorship speech in the House of Lords on Monday. The personal attacks made on the Prime Minister and the attempts to drive him from office, though they have failed so completely, have been of a very unjust and malignant type, and as Unionists we are delighted that the honour of defending him fell to a Unionist statesman.
