since the fiscal question became a live

berlain's followers showed their inten-
tons and strength. No less than 10
members of the house Of commons put
themselves on record as willing to turn
over Balfour rather than sacrifice their
adherence to Mr.. Chamberlain's out

result Mr.. Balfour has foregone his per-
sonal policy Of retaliation and retains
office only by the support Of those
members Of parliament who openly up!

defeated by a majority on this question,
does not regard the vote as one of a
