ENEMIES OF LLOYD GEORGE
STAGING POLITICAL BATTLE

premier through his press, but most
ly he has been standing on the side
lines. Probably If there were an
other progressive who could fill the
premier's shoes, Northcliffe would
support him.. But with the excep-
tion of j. H. Thomas, whose states
manship averted strike which
would have paralyzed Britain, there
is no one. Thomas is a member of
parliament and head of the Railway
mems Union.
/, Bob Smillie, head of the miners,
played stellar role in assisting
Thomas, and did wonders in push
ing the question of public ownership.
His quiz of wealthy dukes and lords;
owners of the majority of Britain s
coal mines, at the recent government
probe, boosted considerably the
chances of public ownership. But
Smillie is not considered quite heavy
enough as yet to hold down a PRIMER
minister's job, and, in addition, he
is too we'll hated by conservatives of
practically all shades.
The latest suggestion for a new
premier comes from the Weekly Dis
patch, a Northcliffe Sunday paper,
which pointed out that with few
changes in the coalition cabinet and
the substitution of few Tories a
respectable Tory government could
be formed
In place of Lloyd George, the Dis
patch would substitute Bonar Law,
Lloyd Georges parliamentary leader.
For foreign secretary, Lord Cruzon
would be substituted for Arthur j.
Balfour. Sir Edward Carson would
be given the secretaryship for war,
in place of Winston Churchill, and
Lord Robert Cecil would displace
Thomas Short in the office of home
secretary.
The dispatch declared that while
such government could not win a
general election, it would not be
necessary. as it figured the Tories
have sufficient majority to keep
them in power for several years.

London. (By Mail. )-Britain's
,ostpeace political battle is on.
The active offensive of the govern
ment opposition the main strength of
which, lies in Lord Northclfffe's press
criticism of Premier Lloyd George, is
having its chief manifestation in at
tacks ON: the results of the premier s
efforts at the peace conference. The
premier's antagonists believe Ger
many was let off too easily and that
this could have been avoided by the
premier taking a stronger stand.
Other questions are cropping up,
such as the Irish question, the prob
lem of government ownership of pub
lie utilities and the tariff.
Already the political fight is COM
ing down to a point where any day
a parliamentary crisis is likely to be
precipitated. Talk of another gen.
cral election is beginning.
The present government is formed
from many political parties, with no
single party in control. The coali-
ton government will probably con-
tinue just as long as Lloyd George
finds it is willing to carry on with
him. This will be until conserva-
tives and progressives clash. The pro-
gressives, consisting Of the labor, lib
oral a nd socialist parties, are divided
the liberals as a whole being unwill-
ing to adopt the extreme policy Of
'he socialists and laborites. The lat
ter would grant home rule to the
whole of Ireland. seize public utili-
ties and pare down or eliminate the
tariff.
Lloyd George is probably as keen
as his opponents for another election,
as his present position-head Of a
coalition government, in which con-
servatives have the largest repre-
sentation, while he has always
fought on the side Of the radicals
is embarrassing.
