THE operators refusal to meet

ina in Coalition Cabinet.

London, March lS-A statement,
apparently inspired. was issued last
night denying that Premier Lloyd
George intends to resign a fortnight
hence. 1t adds that. he intends to
stay in Wales another ten days and
has definitely decided to go to Genoa,
and, further, that on his return to
London he VIII seriously tackle the
home political situation
The fact that it should appear ne
cessary to issue such a statement is
commented upon as indicating the eX'
treme urgency OF the crisis, while the
delay in filing Edwin s. Montagu's
post as secretary for India is gener-
ally considered proof Of the difficulties
under which the coalition is laboring.
There is hardly single newspaper
that does not take It for granted that
the Coalition Government is nearing
an end, and that the next ministry
will be purely conservative one.
