British Premier Defers Resignation
Without a Pledge of Future Action

IabIy suggested that his illness
is assumed for diplomatic pur-
purses, but it is generally agreed
by his friends that he needs a
complete rest. His supporters
attribute his complaints as to
lack of loyalty by conservative
coalitionists essentially to nerV-
Gus exhaustion.
The prime minister has held
care-laden ministrial officer for
sixteen consecutive years includ-

They now hope that for a time
at least he will be permitted to
enjoy undis.urbed quiet.
