provincial members, expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Bonar Law Wouio
be more likely to effect combination
which the House of Commons would
support than Mr.. LloydGeorge would
be, and added there was no reason TO
believe Mr.. Lloyd-George had any
ambitions for the task. The GUARDIAN

that in a letter to Mr.. AsQu1th ne TOOK

that an election will be avoided, on
account of the delay and of interfer-

The Westminster Gazette says:
premier Asquith's resignation was
not received with any dismay in Lib

"It may we'll be that Mr.. Asquith
will, as result of the crisis, be sum-

have the advantage of commanding a
majority in the House which no other
administration seems likely to be
able to obtain"
After receiving Mr.. Lloyd-George,

to the palace several members OF the
recent cabinet in the hope Of solving
the crisis.
