Lloyd George Plans
Appeal to Country
Before Christmas

LONDON, Oct. 11.-There will be
a general election in Great Britain
before Christmas. declared the
Chronicle today. The Chronicle is
the Official mouthpiece Of Premier
Lloyd George, and its statements
are regarded as virtually official.
1t Is possible. according 10 the
Chronicle. that the premier may re-
sign before Parliament convenes
later this month. In this event
Austen Chamberlain, government
spokesman in the House of Com
mons, would become acting pre-
mier. and would advise King
George to dissolve Parliament at
once and call a general election.
The coalition government Is waV.
ering under the blows from all
quarters. Both extremes-labor and
tories-are attacking Lloyd George.
No specific charges are made, but
the critics complain that the coun-
try is 'dissatisfied."
In nonpolitical circles, chiefly busl-
ness quarters, it is expected that the
premier, in his Manchester speech
