bH British Crisis


Continued from Pase One
Of the Government toward Germany,
and the new Government will have to
take up Lloyd Georges role of keeping
France of the neck Of Germany as
much ns 1t can without imperiling re-
lations with France.
The change in this country from
President Wilson to President. Harding
showed how little changes of govern
ment affect foreign policies. Mr.. Hughes
continues Mr.. Wilson's watchful watt
ing on Mexico and Russia. Mr.. Hughes,
ike MIR. Wilson, takes the German
British end of the controversy over
reparations between Germany and
France.
Mr.. Harding firts with Mr.. Wilson's
League of Nations.
British foreign relations are even
less personal, less flexible than our own.
Lloyd George means little personally
here In Washington. President Hard
ing has n certain admiration for him.
MIR. Hughes. OH the other hand. dis
likes and distrusts a mind 80 much more
agile and SO much less governed by
standing based on personal relations Is
affected by the change.
Domestically the Ovcrturn in England
Is important. What is in sight is a
fnirly definite issue between radicalism
and conservatism. Lloyd Georges
government was neither one thing nor
the other. He is left without a party.
The Conservatives have repudiated him.
The Labor Party looks less promising
today than at any time in the last i've
years. A dispatch from London cor

into the faction that follows Lloyd
George and the faction that rejects him
as his party's destroyer. Even il it
could be united. 1t would still be only a
third party. There is not much room
for It between the Conservatives, who
will not err on the side Of overcon-
servatism. and labor which, after all, il
only genuine democratic party.
Conditions like these favor the Con-
servatives, which is doubtless why they
threw, Lloyd George overheard. They
are the solidest political bloc in exis-
tence. The opposition to it cannot
unite and even If it could. 1t has no
one to offer the country who is not
either discredited or unpromising. 4
keen French observer once said to me
THE British governing classes are
the cleverest in the world. No matter
what government rules in England It
Is always the same crowd"
Until the British Labor Party abb
serbs the Lord Robert Cecils and the
Lord Greys, the chances favor the
Conservatives. 1t is hard to believe
that Lloyd George is done, for the
same reason that 1t was hard to believe
that Napoleon was finally disposed
Of ut Saint Helena. But he proba-
bly, is.
