finance was the topic up for debate
in the house of commons today, with
the government facing probably as
critical a body Of members as ever
in the history of parliament. More
than 100 had given notice of a desire
to speak and all were understood to
be prepared to belabor the govern
ment for it's alleged waste and ex-
trava gance.
Some of the governments keenest
critics are among the supporters OF
the coalition. including such stanch
unibnists as Sir Edward Carson and
Lord Robert Cecil.
Cabinet Resolution.
The program called for the intro
duction this afternoon by Austen
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, of the official resolution
drafted by the cabinet at Mondays
meeting. The motion declares that
this house, realizing the serious ef-
fects upon the trade and industry of
burdens resulting from the war.
promises it's hearty support to the
government In all reasonable pro-
posals, however drastic, for the reduc-
ton OF expenditures and the diminu-
ton Of the debt
This is counted as equivalent TO a
demand for a vote of confidence. Don
aid MacLean, for the independent lib
erals. and T. c. Adamson, for the
labor party, have tabled amendments
which are virtually equivalent to
votes of censure.
Leaders to Be Heard.
It is expected the debate win oc-
cupy the remainder of the parlia-
mentary week. Both Premier Lloyd
George and Mr.. Bonar Law, the gov
eminent leader, will speak in the gov
ernment's defense. Winston Churchill,
the war secretary, will defend the war
office, against which some Of the
strongest charges of extravaganza
have been launched Others of the
ministers probably will offer defense
of their respective departments
Notwithstanding the intense anti
government feeling in a large section
of both the house and electorate pres
ent opinion in political quarters is
that the defeat of the government is
unlikely.
