Mr.. Lloyd George went into the
wilderness" and Mr.. Bonar, Law went
to see the King again to-day. The
former did not make good his threat to
swing any sword, save mild invective
against the Tories; and the Prime
Minister designate went only to report
progress. Meanwhile the lines are not
yet drawn for the battle Of the coming
election. and the date now seems GER
tain for the week beginning the 18th
Of November.
The tentative date for the assembly
of the new Parliament is November 81
or 25. The first business before it
viii be the passage Of the Irish treaty
bill. which is expected to be ratified by
the Dali Eireann by then.
Mr.. Bonar Law declined to make
any comment on his visit with King
George. but he did make the following
statement to the newspapers: If
am elected the leader of the Conserva-
tive party I may be in a position to
advise the King to order Immediately
the dissolution Of Parliament This
would give plenty of time to get the
Irish home rule bill through"
Derby Urges Cooperation.
+ While Mr. Lloyd George merely ragged
against Mayfair" and "Belgravia." the
Earl Of Derby, the essence of all that
is Mayfair and Belgrayla in the Unionist
councils, declared at Manchester that
he hoped it was still possible for the
Conservative Government to cooperate
with the genuine Liberals.
Hence some observers are declaring
tonight that Mr. Bonar. Law, seeing
the peril in yielding too much to the
die hard influence. the. peril of which
Mr.. Lloyd George plainly warned him
to-day, Is making a valiant effort to
endow the new Cabinet with the signs
of progress. What lends color to the
reports that 1t may be that Mr. Bonar
Law Is trying to conciliate Mr.. Lloyd
George isFsthe utter failure Of the
Liberals to allow to escape the slightest
gesture of friendship for former Prime
Minister Asquith ana other important
leaders who have not yet spoken. But
the Evening Star suggests that the most
important thing for the Liberals to do
now Is to make a working agreement
with the moderate section OF Labor.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges bitter slurs at
Mayfair. and Belgravia, however. will
hardly help his welcome in either camp
Just now. and, Notwithstanding the
length of his speech, he is regarded as
still In the wilderness. What Is worry
ing the politicians is just where he will
break from cover.
The Sunday Tsnrcs. which is celebrat-
ing its hundredth anniversary to-day,
though q etanchO Osupporter OF lloyd
George. has kind words for Bonar Law,
but warns him. too, that IL the general
election goes like the one at Newport the
other day 1t will result in perhaps a
Conservative House of Commons, but
Conservative by minority vote. the ma
jority being split among the Lloyd Geor-
gians, Liberals and Labor, ana a pos
sible combination OF any two OF these at
any time would be able to- overthrow the
Ministry. .s
r Therefore Mr.. Lloyd Georges refusal
to enunciate any policy to-day is In
terpreted as carrying out his threat to
oppose any party that is 'reactionary
or revolutionary and menaces the
patfon's interests. His speech was re-
ceived with much disappointment even
among his supporters here. Despite the
HANDSOME apofosia for the coalitions
wartime and postwar achievements, 1t
Is recognized that he spun out his line
SO long that 1t is not bullet proof in
many places.
