PLAN NEW ATTACK
ON LLOYD GEORGE
Abandonment of Irish Policy
Due to Opposition Pact to
Renew Clamor For
His Blood.
BY X. WALTER.
Nv RecjprocaI News Agency.

d June 25.-A lively many
sided attack on the government Is eN-
pected in the house Of on
Tuesday following the abandonment or
the Irish policy on which Lloyd George
has declared he would stand or fau.
Failure to enforce conscription mas
aroused the scorn Of many OF the tories
on whom the existence or n govern
ment depends.
Inability to produce a home rule bill
will bring Irish members back and their
rage will not be moderated by the
Withdraw wal Of CONSUMPTION. The gov
eminent have given the party a bad
time at home. Whether they feel 1t or
not. IL is impossible for them to show
any gratitude for the arrest of the Sim
Fein leaders. ~
The Asquith liberals who patrioti-
cally supported the government which
they were told that CONSUMPTION In
Ireland was possible and necessary
have a score of their own to settle. The
little paciist group in the house will
have a field day. They have nothing to
do but make trouble for any reasonable
opposition to Lloyd George by violently
supporting and so discrediting 1T. ar
son will open the debate and lead his
tory detachment against the govern
ment.
Under normal conditions the fate Of
the government would be sealed but
imagination balks at an Asquith-Dil-
Ion Carson Henderson coalition, so 1t
will probably survive.
From all sides this attack will be d.
rected against Lloyd George with the
object of forcing him to announce or
accept a policy. But Lloyd George is
a great little man. He has only to
point t. the war situation and ring the
division bell and go back to Downing
street.
London, June 25.-The manifesto is
sued by eight labor members Of the
British government, according to some
Of the morning newspapers, is con-
nected with threats of a serious split
in the labor party due, some papers
say, to efforts Of a pacifist group to
embarrass the government in prescott
ing the war.
The Daily Telegraph says that the
party stands I'm imminent danger of a
cleavage. which will divide 1t into
several warning factions. The tele-
graph declares that speeches and ac-
tions Of the labor ministers have been
twisted and misrepresented to suit sec
tional and that the minds Of
their constituents have been poisoned
by insidious propaganda. 1t charges
that a campaign Ia being waged ruth
lessly to force labor out Of the cOali-
ton government and break up the
present administration.
George FL. Roberts. minister of labor,
and George Nicolli. minister without
portfolio in the war cabinet are quoted
by the Daily Mail as saying in an in
terview that they are so sick Of the
mean lies and envenomed calumny of
opponents within the past hat
they would gladly resign, but feel that
by doing SO they would be Sinking
duty"
The manifesto seemed, called forth by
the determination of the labor execu-
tive to move at a conference fixed for
wednesday for the political truce OBJ
served since the beginning Of the val
oe terminated. IL this is Endorsed by
the conference whenever and wherever
an election OCCURS, an official labor
candidate will oppose a candidate -ep-
.resenting the other parties to the
truce n the position OF the labor
ministers would become impossible.
