PREMIER To FACE
NEAR EAST CRITICS
Announcement He Will Reply
Saturday Produces
Surprise.
SPECULATION is STIRRED
Dissolution of Parliament and
General Election Are
Discussed.
By the Associa:ed Press.

By the Associa:ed Press.
LONDON. October i1.-Prime Min
lister Lloyd George has announced his
intention of replying publicly at Man
chester on Saturday to the torrent
Of condemnatory criticism recently
aimed at the near eastern policy OF
the government.
This sudden announcement has
taken the press by surprise and
brought general interest in the do
mestic political situation to a keener
focus than ever. 1t also comedies
with increased defniteness in the
rumors OF an early breakup of the
present coalition.
The improved outlook in the near
east may have opened some inner
sources of Information enabling The
political writer's to speak with great
er certainty than heretofore; at any
rate, today's morning papers have the
appearance of those usually accom-
panying the last days of a moribund
government and the early dissolution
OF parliament.
Resisnation Not Expected.
Necessarily general election is
commonly discussed as a matter Of
more or less certainty. The opinion
of the majority OF the political ex-
perts, however, is that Mr.. Lloyd
George has no intention of resigning,
mad that he will put up big fight
on behalf of the coalition, In which
he will have the support of Austen
Chamberlain in the latter's forth
coming speech at Birmingham.
At the same time there are some
who confidently refer to dissolution
of parliament and a general election
in manner implying knowledge that
the premier has already decided on
this course.
Speculation is very busy over the
probable result OF an appeal to tie
country. The conservatives are
credited in some quarters with ability
to secure a larger number of seats
In the house of commons than any
other party. though not enough to
outvote a possible combination of the
liberals and laborites there-and such
matters of conjecture.
Growing Strength Of Labor.
Elsewhere the growing strength OF
labor is emphasized and the labor
leaders themselves speak as though
they were confident in sweeping the
polls and taking Office. 1t does not
seem to be supposed that the lib
erals, whether Asquithian or Georg-
ian. would be able to rally enough
undivided support to bring them into
power.
One important result of the crisis,
according to two or three of the
papers. is that Sir Robert Horne,
chancellor OF the eachequer. has post
poned his trip to the United States
and that the debt-refunding mission
will not be undertaken by another.

1t is conceded generally that politi-
cal issues will be made sharper at
this convention than at any previous
session of the veterans organization.

dent and acting as co-ordinator OF
