Invite Under Secretary to Convey Word That Peace Party is Not Wanted in England.

LONDON, Dec. 6.—A request made in the house of commons this afternoon by Sir Edward A. Cornwall, liberal member for the northeast division of Bethnal Green, that an intimation be sent to Henry Ford and William Jennings Bryan that their proposed peace mission to this country would be "irritating and unw.elcome" at the present time, drew a remark from Lord Robert Cecil, parliamentary under secretary for foreign affairs, that as the passports of the members of the peace commission only have been Issued for neutral countries the contingency contemplated by Sir Edwin did not arise.

A rapid bombardment of questions came from different parts of the house purging the under secretary, "seeing that these people left amid a storm of ridicule," to convey to them in whatever neutral country they find themselves, the intimation that they are not wanted here at any time. Lord Robert Cecil parried the questions saying: "Speaking for myself I think it would be in the highest degree undignified for the government of this country to send any intimation to a lot of ladies and gentlemen who, whatever their merits may be, are of no particular importance."

Discussion of' the subject closed in laughter aroused by Will Crooks, labor member for Woolwich, who asked: "If they have the right of asylum here can we certify them to be Insane?"
