GEORGE
MAY RESIGN
Either That or Early General
Election Will be Held. Lon
don Says

LONDON. March 9 (By the Assoc
ciated press):-Either an early gen.
eral election or the resignation of
Prime Minister Lloyd George will
be the outcome of the present poll
teal crisis it is believed. The ap-
parently widening breach in the
conservative party, together with the
consistent gain in strength of the
liberals under former Premier AS
quith and the laborites as evidenced
in the recent by-elections have
forced these alternatives on the pre-
mier.
Mr.. Lloyd George is understood to
have served notice in his letter to
j. Austin Chamberlain that Sir
George Younger. who recently at
tackled the premier in the house of
commons. must go or he will step
down from Office. Sir George Young
er's tactics have met with disfavor
among a considerable section of the
party. especially with Mr.. Chamber
lain and Lord Chancellor Berken-
head. the latter voicing his disap-
proval in a recent speech. In this
connection some significance is at
tached to a report that Younger
may resign from the house and be
elevated TO the peerage.
Meanwhile the government lead
ers are giving much time to the
problem and an early meeting of
the whole conservative party is ex-
pected.
