Stuart gave him his promotion. The

ELECTION HAS
NOT CHANGED SITUATION

Special By; United Press Wire.
London, Dec. 16:-Whether England
is to have n relief from political agi-
tation and the consequent business
stagnation, depends today on the ere
alton of enough new liberal peers by
King George to give the government
control of the upper body. The con,
sensus of opinion is that the king will
refuse to do this owing to the fact that
the Liberals win have to depend on
the Irish nationalists for a majority in
the next parliament. 1t is a foregone
conclusion they will pass the Home
Rule measure which the Lords will re-
ieet. They will also pass a bill sbolish-
ing the veto power of the lords and
this, too, will be rejected by the lords.
On the two main issues OF the day
the situation will be unchanged from
the last parliament, which means that
an early date parliament will again be
dissolved and another general election
ordered. With the exception of one or
two remote constituencies the election
will end tomorrow. Neither side has
made any appreciable gain.
