RENT QUESTION is
CAUSE OF POLITICAL
CRISIS IN ENGLAND
Government Determines to
Protect Unemployed Ten
ants From Eviction.

London, April 7.-What the Labor
lite press described as political
crisis of first-class Importance" has
arisen out of the governments deter
mination to protect unemployed ten
ants from eviction.
A special cabinet meeting was con.
vencd last night for the evictions bill
and Premier Macdonald shortened his
weekend vacation of Chequcrs Court
to attend.
The political reporters agree that
the government has already resolved
that some means must be adopted TO
enable unemployed persons to retain
possession of their homes whether
they pay rent or not. but INDIGESTION
and even disagreement is said to exist
on how this is to be managed.
When debate on the bill was adj
iourned last week. it was understood
that the government proposed to put
the onus of finding the rent money
on the poor law authorities. who in
turn look to the government for reim-
bursement. IL this proves to be the
minister's plan. it seems certain it
will be defeated in the Commons al
though it is not supposed it would
regard this as reason for resigning.
