London, Aug. 20.-The war has
proved fatal meltingpot to many
world institutions, but nowhere has its
effects oeen more marked than in Brit
ish politics. American and the rest of

situation, for all the old parties are be-
ing made over, many favorite policies
are being serapped, and many of the old
leaders jettisoned, having failed to test

tion.
British politicians and the voters are
now searching for three things:
A MAN-Wanted by the old parties
as q leader.
A PARTY-Wanted by several self.

A POLICY-Wanted by the parties

British Making Old Political
Parties Over and Seeking For
New Reconstruction Leaders


H. H. Asquith in the party favor, when
the latter was compelled to resign the
premiership, and the coalition govern
ment was formed by Lloyd George in
1916. The coalition has served its pur-
pose and like most such temporary ex-
pedients shows signs of early disruption.
Who is Lloyd George going to lead
then9 is the question agitating politi-
clans.
The old liberal and conservative par
ties have suffered. too many casualties
to be able to set up in business again.
The conservatives have their own little
:" tin gods, and will not adopt Lloyd
George. What the majority of the old
liberals will do is a puzzle. Although
no longer in parliament Che was over
whelmed in the election just before
Christmas) Herbert H. Asquith is still
the leader of bunch of liberals, who
now politically unimportant are con-
temptuously styled the s'Wee Frees" "
Asquith is dead-letter, but he can still
rob Lloyd George of some supporters.
: The conservatives are nominally uni
ted under Andrew Bonar Law, but Law
apparently does not aspire to be the
man the country is advertising for. He
was only stop-gap alternative, when
elected to succeed Arthur James Bal
four in the party leadership in l91l-
buffer between the, irreconcilable
roofing for Austen chamberlain and
Walter Hume Long respectively. He

scientious statesman, but he lacks per

great party leader. The remainder OF
the conservative leaders may be elimi
mated from the contest, Chamberlain
and Long being relegated to the "have
beens" and Balfour desirous of retiring
from political life on account of his
great age.
