LONDON, March IA. BOnar Law,
leader Of the house Of commons, has re-
signed his cabinet post of lord privy
seal. Premier Lloyd George announced
in the house of commons this afternoon.
Illness was given as the reason. Mr..
Bonar Law formerly was chancellor OF
the eXchequer He was one of the most
influential leaders of the Unionist party
and the right hand man of Premier Lloyd
George.
Bonar Laws resignation created sen
sation despite the fact that he had writ
ten letter giving a full explanation
of his action. Mr. BOnar Law said his
health had been frail for some time and
that at present he is facing a complete
physical breakdown unless he takes a
long and complete rest. He had been
advised by his physician to give up all
his political activities.
Many political leaders believe that the
retirement of the Unionist chieftain means
a rupture in the coalition government
that will make a general election ineyi-
table
There was speculation In political clubs
and in the lobby of Parliament as to
whether the tories" are refusing to work
any longer In double harness with Pre-
mier Lloyd George.

ter of japanese domination in the man
date over the Island Of zap, the Cali

understanding, the new ADMINISTRATORS
policy in the Pacific and a number of
matters Of lesser importance.
