muHition sent to the front.
Huge supplies OF shells had been
sent. but the proportion OF shrapnel is
reported to have been greater than that
OF high explosives. whereas the army
required a preponderance OF high ex-
plosives. Opposition leaders who were
IN possession OF these facts. says the
Daily News, threatened to debate In the
House OF Commons TO prove their ac-
curacy.
Such a debate would have undermined
gravely the authority of the govern
ment. Coupled with the admiralty
quarrel and the resignation OF Lord
Fisher, the paper asserts, it probably
would have meant the downfall of tho
government The moment was seized,
therefore, by representatives OF both
sides anxious for n coalition Cabinet
and the government asscnted To this
solution to avert worse crisis.
