the Jew has deservedly acquired as a

A Fresh Crisis for Britain

= REAT BRITAIN in recent years has ho-
" come so accustomed to facing crises
and standing on the edge OF an abyss in
its national affairs only TO middle through
in the end. that the possible consequences
o. the threatened coal strike perhaps are
not causing the apprehension on the part
Of the general public that the facts seem
10 warrant But the government is not
blind to the danger Lloyd George scents
disaster in the making, and no one real
ICES better than he that il the strike comes
and he fails to cope with it successfully it
will mean the fall of his ministry and the
REIMBURSEMENT OF his iron grasp on the ma
ton. Therefore. he may be expected TO be
prepared with drastic measures, and the
Premier. in an emergency, particularly one
which threatens his political life, is shrewd
and resourcefnl and hard.
1t is not in the strike itself that the real
danger lies, even should all the 100000
miners lay down their tools in an effort TO
paralyze the industry of Britain and much
OF Continental Europe. Britain could han
die simple labor war. even with so vast an
army. of worlimcn involved. 1t is the num-
Der OF malcontents the haters of Britain,
the enemies of all law and order, tho in
sidious Iolshevists and, more than all
others. the Irish, who are fighting for the
right OF INSTRUMENTATION, who may sec in
England's plight their opportunity to strike,
which presents the real danger That
Lloyd George has forcsccn such an eventu-
ality may not be doubted. He is not the
sort to leave anything to chance, and if the
strike and it's concomitant disorders come
he may be expected TO adopt Il policy OF
blood and iron.
There IS perhaps no cxaggeration in the
cable reports that Britain faces 4 revolu-
tion. and that on the firm hand with which
tho nation is guided in the next few weeks
its future may depend. The situation is
largely of Lloyd Georges own making, for
the restlcssness Of Britain has become acute
only through his cumulative bundcrs.
should he blunder again in this crisis the
result conccivahly would prove disastrous
not only for Britain. bnt for the world, in
the opening up Of new territories for rev
oiutionist activity. Even IL he solves his
present problem the solution is likely TO be
little moro than an armed truce. But it
Mould give breathing spell during which
no might he retired 10 private life and the
government lodged in hands more capable
than his OF restoring the tranquility that
waits upon confidence.
