cNGL. AND FACED BY
government CHANGE:
As Result Of VOTE
BY Majority of y. Alien Bill,
Sponsored BY Administlsa-
ton. Fails.

London Oct. 23.-The country to-
night is suddenly faced by the pos
sibilitv of change of government
or dissolution of parliament, owing to
the unexpected defeat of the gov
eminent in the house of commons to-
day by a majority of 70. Only
about half the members were pre-
sent and the vote by which the gov
eminent was defeated was 185 TO
1I3.
The alien bill. the earlier stages of
which were disposed of during the
summer session. was in the report
stage. The committee had previous
" inserted an amendment withhold
ing pilotaee certificates from all
aliens and today the government
sought by amendment to modify this
restriction in favor mainly of num-
Der of French pilots for whom pro-
vision had been made in the exist
ing piIataee act. This amendment,
however was defeater, although I'M
charge eff government whips.
The announcement ofthe figures
greeted with loud cheers fromthe op-
position quarters, and caused much
excitement. Andrew Bonar Law I'M
lrgediately moved adjournment of the
house until Monday to enable the
to consider what course
It should adopt. He admitted that
tire defeat of an amendment with
whips was serious mat
ter requiring consideration, but de-
cIired to admit that it necessarily i'm
piled the resignation of the minis
try. This, he declared, would depend
upon' the view of the house q
commons as whole.
Announcement of the figures was
pressed in the Hobbies are conflicting
but in view Of the small attendance
in the house, it is thought that the
may decide not to re-!
sign.
