REGIME IF BONhR LAW W|THSTAnDS
 OPPONE FIRE
New Premier Firmly En- trenched Against Political Fire-- Lloyd George Urges
 Intervention
By LLOYD ALLEN. United Press Staff Correspondent. Special to The Age-HeraId.D


 LONDON, Feb. 20.-Premier Bonar Law and his government were more firmly entrenched against political attacks by united labor and liberal opponents today than at any time since the general elections.
 Commons, by a vote, of 305 to 196- not such a margin as Lloyd George s coalition government used to enjoy, but sufficient-rejected liberal amendment to the Kings address. proposing a League of Nations in- quiry into Germany's ability to pay reparations.
 Lloyd Georges first important speech to the House as member of the opposition pleaded with the government to propose Anglo-Am can intervention and constituted a strong attack on Premier Poincare of France. But the former prime minister's pleas fell upon deaf ears for while a majority in the House probably favors American participa- tion in the reparations tangle, there was no sentiment among conserva- tives save support of Bonar Law.
 The Daily Express today declared on high authority that the British government. while it's representa- tives were standing firmly on plat form of -intervention against united assaults in commons, already has opened informal conversations in Washington to ascertain whether the United States is willing to aid Flu rope.
 LEAGUE BOBS UP.
 LONDON, Feb. 2o.-(By Associated Press. .)-Political- gossip today is busying itself with the future Of Lord Robert Cecil, who, hitherto the champion of the League of Nations showed himself in yesterdays debate in the House of Commons on the Ruhr exceedingly and surprisingly lukewarm to that institution. HIS motive was instantly attributed to his wish not to embarrass the goVT ernment because he had been ln- vited to join the cabinet
 There are rumors that the govern ment is seeking to induce Austin Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead' anu others who accompanied Lioyu George into the wilderness, to re- turn to the conservative fold as mem- bers of the government and 1t IS alleged that Birkenhead is willing if he can have the foreign secretary ship.
 MT. Lloyd George, in a speech Tn London tonight, made humorous ref erence to Lord Robert CeciFs turn about face" and remarked; Tt was brutal Lord Robert was the man who got himself up for the role ot the savonarola of tfe league, ana last night he doffed the sombre gar : ments of the preaching friar and at tempted to join the gay throng on the treaSurX bench
