WILSON MURDER MAY
UPSET GOVERNMENT
Conservatives Were Given to
Understand That the Treaty
Would End Irish Troubles.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening.
London, June 24.-The probable ef
feet on the political situation Of the
assassination OF Field Marshal Wilsor
attracts attention this morning and
all the newspapers speculate IA to the
position of the British government in
view of the Outburst OF anger in parlia
ment at the withdrawal of protection
from prominent men.
The intense indignation over the
murder il mingled with widespread
feeling that II should have been pre-
vented. and consequently a scape goat
is being sought. Home Secretary
Short. as responsible head OF the po-
lice. had been singled out particular
" as a necessary victim and his re-
moval is demanded. That he will fore
stall the political pressure on the gov
ernment by voluntarily resigning, is
predicted in some quarters.
Mondays session OF the House OF
Commons may see the detection OF a
large number OF the Coalition Union
lists who have hitherto supported the
governments Irish policy. but who
are now more than ever inclined TO
attach themselves 10 the die hards. -
These conservative waverers are
represented as taking the attitude that
they supported the Anglo-Irish treaty
because the government assured them
1t would settle the Irish question and
peace would follow. Peace has not fol-
lowed. they say and the government
must take the consequences. Moth
ing, ii is declared. has occurred since
the last general election TO weaken the
party allegiance so dangerously.
