Political Aspect In
Britain Is Changed
Action Earl Of Derby Being
Discussed In Official
Circles.
[Associatsd. Press pispatch. !


London, March 16.--ThE Earl ol
Derby's rejections of the Indian
secretaryship, coming after failure
of the unionists meeting on Tues
day to give Prime Minister Lloyd
George vote of confidence, forms
political quarters, where the effect
is warmly debated.
The refusal of Lord Derby to en-
ter the government is believed to
have been final, and even the most
ardent coalitionists are manifestly
anxious in view of the failure OF
Tuesdays meeting and the obvious
hardening Of the determination OF
many conservatives to cut loose
from the coalition.
Mo Werd From Premier.
The premier's political enemies
declared 1t is impossible for him
now to retain his position as head of
the administration while depending
mainly upon unioniist votes, and
urge that 1t Is time ne recognized
the fact and made his threatened
resignation definite.
Meanwhile no word comes from
Criccieth, Wales, regarding the pre-
niers intentions. He is spending
his time in resting golfing and gar
dening and, as his friends say
thinking things out" while current
decisions are left to Austen Cham
berlain, and, as is widely asserted
the desintegration of the coalition
proceeds apace.
1t is stated in some quarters that
Mr.. Lloyd George has decided to
prolong his stay in Wales to see
how far the fervent will work be-
fore he declares his hand.
