Resignation Of Cab
met Member Precip-
itates Grave Politi-
cal Crisis

London, Mar. ia political
crisis of the first magnitude has
been created by the retirement OF
inet, it is declared by the London
Times. other newspapers while less
emphatic, agree in saying that Mr..
Bonar Laws resignation is certain
to have considerable political ef-
feet, and that it probably will ma
terially weaken the coalition gov
ernment. 1t is pointed out that no
successor 0 Mr.. Bonar Law is like
ly to work so well with Premier
Lloyd George and the Graphic even
suggests that II Mr.. Lloyd George
is called upon to face a prospect of
unsympathetic association, he may
find the strain of office intolerable
and will follow Mr.. Bonar Law in
to retirement.
There are many forecasts relative
to the new unionist leader whom
the party will elect Monday. Aus
ten Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer; Sir Robert Horne, pres
ident of the board of trade, and Sir
Edward Carson are given most
prominent mention as being prob
able successors to Mr.. Bonar Law.
Suggestions have been made In
some quarters that Mr.. Lloyd
George, himself, take command of
the unionist party. The London
Times remarks that the unionists as
a whole, while willing to make ev-
cry use of him, are most jealous Of
his power.
