LLOYD GEORGE IS
SETTING A DATE

Either He or Younger

Eighth
CRISIS IS NOT PASSED
Warning Factions Differ
as to Seriousness of
Situation
nv Associated PressI

London, March s. w ednesday,
March 8, is the date set by Prime
Minister Lloyd+George for fulfill
ment of his ultimatum to Austin
Chamberlin, according to a report in
parliamentary circles. If by then he
has not received satisfactory assur-
ances of the loyal support of the CO.
alition conservatives, it is said he will
present to the king his resignation of
the premiership, which he is now figu.
ratively carrying in his pocket. ~
Private meetings of politicians yes
terday led to no announcement of de-
velopments tending toward a solution
of the crisis. One of them, indeed,
hardened the opposition of the "die-
hard" conservatives to Lloyd Georges
leadership.
Must Assert Principles. v
This meeting was held in commit
tee room of the house Of commons,
where more than eighty conservative
members of the commons and the
house Of lords adopted a resolution
affirming that "in order to restore
confidence throughout the country
and with a view TO the approaching
general election, there is urgent need
for reassertion of the conservative
and Unionist principles" The meet
ing is reported further to have decid'
ed that utmost shall be done to has.

The determination of Mr.. Chamber.
lain, Lord Chancellor Birkenhead anc
other Conservative leaders to stand
by Mr.. Lloyd George is mistaken, ant
the steps they will take in an attempt
to bring their followers into line are
awaited with interest. This curiosI
ity may be satisfied when Mr. Cham
berlan delivers his speech at Oxforc
tonight, as it is generally expected he
will make a pronouncement bearing or
the political crisis.
The cabinet met last night, but, as
far as can be ascertained, did not dea
with the crisis, transacting only
state business.
The anti-coalition newspapers sa!
the storm raised by the premier's let
ter TO Mr.. Chamberlain, became worse
yesterday, while Lloyd-George'
champions declare matters are some
what improved. All agree, however
that nothing approaching settle
ment has been reached and that diff
ferences remain acute.
