LONDON. oct. 10. - Confronted
with many difficult questions. parlia-
ment convenes today after a recess
since Aug 81
The session beginning today prom
ises TO be one of the most interest
ing and important since the war
began.
Predictions were made upon the
eve of the opening that Premier
Lloyd George would have something
TO say about the peace situation
which would be Of worldwide i'm
portance.
One of the vital problems facing
the Lloyd George government is the
attitude taken by labor. There have
been manifestations of unrest among
the working classes although not
enough TO cause any anxiety. In this
connection the possibility Of most
interest was that the labor party and
the liberals would form a working
coalition in the house of commons.
Among the problems which prom
Use to furnish stirring debate in
commons are: The German air raids
and the question of reprisals, the
food shortage and the prices charged
for foodstuffs, the proposed ministry
Of health and the Irish situation
which has been in the hands OF the
Home Rule for ireland convention
since parliament adjourned.
References to the part the United
States IS TO plav in the war also will
come in for discussion.
