Return to Parties
The conservatives at their NEE
ing decided by vote of 1856 to 81
appeal to the country as the Conse
vative party.
The Conservative vote meal
that the party will withdraw fro
the Lloyd George coalition party ar
the designations of Austen Chambe
lain, Lord Balfour and Lord Birke
head from the cabinet are expecte
The next move certain to
made will be the resignation of Au
ten Chamberlain and his associate
Lord Balfour and Lord Birkenhesl
from the cabinet. 1t was expectd
Prime Minister Lloyd George woul
then present his resignation to I'll

to be picked for the task is eith'1
Andrew Bonar Law or the Earl 4

Received Death Blow
The Lloyd George coalition receiV
ed its death blow at the hands
the Conservative party, when tn
Conservative members Of the Hous
Of Commons and government mini'
ters at their meeting in the Garlic
Club today voted by 1856 to 81 to az
peal to the country as the Conserve
tive party. This creates a situation
of the greatest political confusio
and uncertainty the country ha
known for many years.
Will Be Brief
The life of the new conservative
ministry will probably be very bric
according to present forecasts, an
a general election is expected swift
ly to follow its formation.
The party lines upon which tn
elections will be fought present
profound puzzle. One suggestion
that Mr.. Lloyd George may form
center party in which he could cour
upon Austen Chamberlain and Lor
Birkenhead and perhaps Lord Ba
four. the three cabinet member
whose adherence to him has bee
repudiated by today's conference.
The new party, it is suggested
would probably command the SUI
port of goodly proportion Of tn
Conservatives who stood by u
coalition and also of the coaritio
liberals. This formation might pu
the labor party in the position Q
the chief opposition party.
The possibility that Mr.. Lloy
George will try to return to tn
leadership of the liberals is not
be overlooked either.
Mr.. Bonar Laws friends questlo
whether his health will permit M
to take office even for short tim
Lord Derby seems the most probab
alternative selection for Prln'
Minister, although it is suggest
that Lord Curzon, who gained gre
ly in prestige by his work in the y,
cent Near East negotiations ano
believed to have been a luke wa
coalitionist, might be summoned /
form a 'povernment
