Coalition Government
of Britain Criticized
BY MargOt Asquith

Criticixing the coalition form OF
government and predicting future
difficulties for II, Mrs. Margot As
quith, wife OF The former premier of
Great Britain, yesterday afternoon,
In the New National Theater,
called its members paying guests
In the Conservative Palace" She
also took fling at Winston
Churchill, who, In a recent speech,
had derided the liberalism Of her
husband.
Scanning the faces OF her audi
ence. she asked: II wonder II you
want to hear about English politics,
or whether 1t is gossip you want to
hear; what think about Lloyd
George, Winston Churchill, and
other personalities that govern Eng.
landT II never gossip about
Others" she added.
She supposed, she went on, that
II she did not speak a little Of Eng
fish politics. not only one woman In
the gallery. as happened in New
York. but AL Of you would demand
your money back"
Calls Coalition a tumble.
English politics as they occur at
the moment, she said, she could not
discuss, because with coalition gov-
eminent you didn't know where
you were. They don't know where
they started, where they're going,
and whore to stop"
Coalition form Of government did
not effect the Irish settlement or
home rule for Ireland, according to
Mrs. AsQuith. Gladstone began It,
her husband continued It and the
liberal government gave up its life
for 1t. The guarding OF Industries
she branded as q ridiculous measure
which pleased no one.
Winston Churchill, who derfded
the liberalism Of my husband, to
whom he owes everything, thinks
he Is going to win votes In England
for the new party by asking a ridic-
uious question rs to who Lord Rob
ert Cecil is" she declared.
Suddenly, as IL that were enough

scanned her notes and began to
reminisce. She gave witty sketches
Of her visit to Lord Tennyson's
home when nineteen, and OF her
encounter with an American &C.
tress in n railway compartment
during the war. She told OF her &c.
quaintance with Mark Twain,
friendship for Gladstone and Lord
Kitchener.
Has Much Magnetism.
Slender in figure, OF medium
height, Mrs. Asquith IL possessed
OF a pleasing voice and much mag.
netism. She is alert, restless and
constantly gesticulating.
The long waist of her gown was
heavy silver cloth, with long sleeves
and moleskin cuffs.
The neck was boat shaped. Al

Navy Yard reductions nave be-
hind them as a motive the desire OF
Navy Department officials TO place
in the positions of ousted civilians
enlisted men and commissioned Of,
ficers.
Charge Made By Machinists.
This charge is being made in a
series of protests received by the
International Association Of Ma.
chinsts today. The strongest is one
which originated at San Diego, Cal,
six months ago. The claim is that
ed and officer personnel proves that
lack of appropriation is not the
real reason of the reduction.
Though this protest was original
~ made six months ago by released
employees of the San Diego, Cal,
Navy Yard, and has since been
agitated until Senators and Con-
Rressmen have been forced to con-
slider the complaint, the action OF
the Navy Department which ADDED
thousands to the nations list OF
unemployed last week, has resulted
in more vigorous objection by civil
fans who have seen their work TAX
en- from them by enlisted men:
"On paper" said a union official
this morning, 1T would appear to
be an economical move, anu IL I'M
doubtedly is intended to appear as
such. But in actual economy, all
things considered, the move cannot
cut down the expenses OF navy yard
operation. The inexpertness OF
many of the enlisted men, in COM
parison with machinists who have
made their trade their life work, in
itself is an item which would tend
to cancel any theory of the econo-
my of such operation.
Claims Money Available.

tinued operation with enlisted per-
