. . . He (W) has sent me to-day his proposed counter-blast to the truly absurd German 'blockade' of our seas & coasts. . . . Poor Birrell writes rather wistfully about the Assyrian's promotion to the Duchy . . .

Asquith discusses retaliation against the German blockade, Montagu's promotion, and sends a sonnet.

Mentioned:Winston Churchill • Haldane • Birrell • Edwin Montagu • Redmond • Mrs Birrell
