AsQU|TH WILL
DICTATE POLICY
Premier and His Followers Insist On
Dominating Situation Regardless
of Lloyd-George's Demands.

LONDON. Feb. 10.-Indications OF 2
fight for supremacy between the more
conservative Liberals, headed BY
Premier Asquith. and the radical wing
led by Chancellor of the ExchequeI
David Iloyd-George and Winston
Churchill, developed today at the first
meeting of the cabinet since the re-
cent election
The cabinet met to consider the per.
sonnet of the new cabinet, in which.
4. Is limited, there will be several new
faces, and TO map out a legislative
program. No announcement has yet
been made as to the result OF the de-
alterations, but those in a position to
know declare that Asquith and his fol
lowers indicated their Intention TO
dictate the policy OF the incoming ad-
m;nistration regardless OF the de-
mands of Lloyd-George and his follow
ers, who are claiming credit for the
Liberal victory and are insisting on
a Smore drastic legislative program
than favored by the premier.
Unless these two leaders can come
to an understanding, there is every
prospect OF a stormy and short-lived
parliamentary session. So far the
radical faction has shown itself abso-
lutely unyielding, despite Asquith's
overtures.
The biggest problem confronting tho
cabinet is to keep the coalition of Lib
erals, Laborites and Irish Nationalist
intact, or practically so, and 1t is un
derstood that an official appeal will
shortly be issued to guard against any
reactionary movement In the ranks
OF the coalition.
