Paris. May 29.-The family jars and fisticuIs
between the leaders of the General Federation
Of Labor prove the wisdom Of Premier CIemen-
ceaus diplomatic methods of dealing with that
revolutionary association. The sittings of the
labor federation in its vast barnike hall in
the Rue Grange aux Bellies near where John
Paul Jones was first buried, bear a strlhing
resemblance TO the proceedings Of the Chamber

parliament are held in secret, but the results
leak out to the public. 1t is now clear that the

ASQUITH SEEKS REST
PREMIER OTERWORkED.
Changes Made IN Budget to Satisfy
D.
the Liberal Factions.
rsneciaI BY French Cable 70 The Tribune J


london Nav 99-The Prime Minister has re-
tired TO Clovely for a holiday without politics
His predecessor broke down under the combined
pressure OF political and social engagements
The leadership has not become easier than II
was. and the social life is more exacting. since
the Liberal hostesses are entertaining on
larger scale and the Prime Minister Is constant
ly required To stand with them and receive
guests. Mr. Asquith is relieved bv his leuten-
ants at every turn of proceeding in the House
yet is heavily oyerworked himself. Frequent
Cabinet meetings are necessary. and consuita-
tions with thu leaders of the various groups in
the unmanageahle majority are constantly TAX
ing place. especially on matters relating 10 the
navy and land taxation. in which the govern
ment is trying 10 avoid antagonizng the oppos-
ing factions Mr.. Asquith's dexterity in taking
q middle course has been conspicuous in the
debate on the two-posver standard. and he is
, clearly holding the four extra Dreadnoughts in
reserve in order 70 use them at the right mo-
ment tn carrying the budget.
The finance bill has been materially altered
and considerably strengthened. while the oppo-
sition has been firing on il all along the line
The taxation Of hotels and other anomalies have
been partially rectifed. and important exemp-
tions are allowed in the duties reverson
leases and other features Of the land schedules.
Some Of the most objectionable clauses have
been repaired while skirmishing has been in
progress under cover of darkness. Vet the land
taxation proposals remain a source Of danger
from Two sides OF the House. They may not
go far enough 10 satisfy the land takers. and
they may so far that the landholders will
call upon the Lords TO amend them and. IL
necessary. reject the budget altogether. The
Prime Minister'S dexterity Will be mastery if
he succeeds in reconCiling the reformers to in
adequate proposals and appeasing the landed
interests which consider any system for the
universal valuation of land ruinous. He is op
posed. moreover. by a brilliant tactican. Mr.
Balfour. who remains out of sight and ap-
parenty is not seeking 10 influence the Lords.
The Welsh disestablishment bill is not likely
TO reach the Lords. but when carried on second
reading il viii be a substitute for the education
bill and help TO keep the NOnConformists in line
with Liberalism. Principles count less than
manCeuvres on both sides. The strongest point
for the opposition is the fact that the proposal
for universal valuation Of land is not essential
TO this years revenue system and should BE-
regulated by a separate bill. Similar Scottish
bills have already been vetoed. Lord Rose sebery's
attiture toward the budget and land taxing is
awaited with interest. l. y F.
