"

. . . The first thing I saw when I started back soon after 7 on my early journey this morning was the disclosure in the two Northcliffe organs. . . . It is annoying on every ground, & puts the whole Liberal press in the worst of tempers . . .

Asquith is annoyed by the leakage of the Conference news to the Northcliffe press.

Mentioned:King George V • Lord Northcliffe • Lord Rothermere • The Master • Bonar Law • Winston Churchill
