London, Dec 1.-THE results in the
general elections announced tonight leave

majority, 50.
\ further sign of the growing Clscon-
tent among the Unionists over Mr.. Bal
tours management of the campaign
which stated in an editorial in the Morn
ing Post was noticeable in a speech made
by Austin Chamberlain at Buxton to-
night. He said that it. was not part of
the original plan that tariff reform should
be submitted to a referendum. There
were great inconvenience and objections
connected with putting a budget to pop
nlar vote. He would not himself have
made such a proposal .-t-l
Many Unonists, realizing that there is
no hope of lettering their position in this
election, favor policy of negotiation.
Sid Edward Clarke, the noted lawyer,
speaking in London tonight said that the
essential results of this balanced cleo
ton was that there must be a communi-
cation or conference between the par
ties with a view to the settlement of the
constitutional question. 1t would be in
tolerable if this issue should be adjourn
ed by election after election. Both the
veto bill and the referendum, he declared,
must go and the best men of both sides
must endeavor to find a solution.
AccOrdno fo the Liberal Daily News
the governments program for the COM
ing session, in addition to the veto bill,
will include electoral reforms such as the
payment of the members of the House of
Commons and the abolition of plural vot-
ing and possibly also bill for the hold
ing all elections on the same day.
