London. Nov. 15.-The storm of a
ministerial crisis which flared up sud.
denly as a result of Premier Lloyd
Geroge's speech in Paris subsided al
most as suddenly.
Challenged in the house of commons
today to explain his speech, the pre-
mier contented himself by reading the
actual terms of the agreement creating
the allied council which, he declared.
made it clear that the council was
merely advisory and possessed of no
executive power, and therefore could
not override decisions of the respective
or their military staffs.
The premier further offered to sub
NIT letter in the formal debate next
Monday if the house desired and with
this offer the matter was dropped. 1t
is assumed that the debate will have
a lively character. and although the
of a crisis is not excluded
il is suspended until next week.
The general opinion is that in the
present difficult situation. despite the
eXistance of strong feeling against
the premier in some quarters, no
statesman is anxious TO shoulder the
heavy responsibilities the premier
holds.
