Y LONDON. Nov. 30.-The cabinet is

Of the budget by the House Of Lords
That the budget viii be rejected is a
foregone conclusion. The only effect
of the powerful speeches made against
Lord Lansdowne's amendment will be
TO cut down slightly the vote In the
House of Lords of which the budget

that these speeches have changed the

nights action is taken, the police will
nave a special guard ia and around

action Is concerned, the rejection OF
the measure, will be carried, win pre-

The taxation measures which viii
be of no avail include the income

Many are urging the Premier to

The course that the non politicians

revenue TO carry on the government
until a general election is held.
