CENTRE
PARTY
PROPOSALS.
Abandoned by National
Liberals.
LONDON, March 8.
Mr. Llloyd George has announced that
the National Liberals have abandoned the
idea of a Centre Party. He considered
that no Liberal, as a condition of reunion,
should be asked to chance his opinion regarding
the policy of coalition Governments
from 1915 to W22. "My Edinburghi
speech was a reply to urgent representa-i
tions received by Mr. Asquith and myself
from all parts of the country in favour ofi
Liberal reunion," Mr. Lloyd George de-l
dared. "My earlier offer toconfer with
the leaders of the Independent Liberals
met with no response, but I repeated it,
and it is still open."
