Hope for Solution
German Cabinet
Crisis by Saturday

Berlin, May 20 (By A. PA solu-
ton OF the cabinet crisis is not look
ed for before Saturday as Chancellor
Marx has not yet concluded his ne
gotiations with DIR. Hergt and other
leaders Of the German Nationalist
Party. Upon the acceptance by this
party OF the program Of internal land
foreign policies to be drafted by the
middle parties depends the ultimate
contamination Of a coalition govern
ment comprising all the non Social
istic parties except Ludendorffss So
called Freedom party.
The German nationa1isits have
tentatively agreed to enter a cabinet
headed by DR.. Marx. but no concur
renee on outstanding issues. such az
the Dawes report and questions Of
internal reforms, has yet been reach
ed. These constitute the basis Of
the present inter-party negotiations,
in the course Of which all discussion
regarding the allotment OF cabinet
posts 10 being avoided.
The ilationalists are reported as
showing less recalc;trance toward
some Of the conditions prescribed by
the middle parties as a pre- condition
OF their acceptance into the goverd-
ment and their party organs reveal
less open hostility to the Dawes re-
port than during the early stages Of

Govt. Again Fends
Off Attack in British
House of Commons

London, May 29.-(By A. P)-By a
majority Of 48 the Labor government
tonight in the House of Commons
again succeeded in resisting an attack
on its existence, when Sir William
JOHNSON Hicks motion to reduce the
salary of the Labor minister, Tom
Shaw, by G100 was rejected after long
debate.
The motion was merely a technical
way OF expressing disapproval of the
governments policy respecting unem-
talked out in the house recently. Prior
to the recording of the vote Premier
Macdonald declared that in the event
OF government defeat Labor would
go before the country in a general
election. On division the vote stood
800 to 252 in the governments favor,
H. H. AsQuith, the Liberal leader, havr
ing announced that his party would
not vote against the government. I
There were lively scenes Of jubila-
ton and counter-demonstration when
the vote became known, and shouts Of
Where is Lloyd-George?"
Mr.. Lloyd-George attended the Lib
eral meeting to decide upon what ac-
ton should be taken on the vote, but
had not returned to the house when
Mr.. Asquith announced the decision of
his party, and his absence provoked
gossip Of a split among the Liberals.
The figures Of the division showed
that 100 Liberals voted with the gov
eminent and 80 abstained from voting.
The final speakers were Stanley Bald
win, the Conservative leader, and John
r. Clynes, deputy Labor leader. Mr..
Clynes, like the prime minister. ex-
pressed perfect confidence and readi-
ness to fight out the question on cleo
ton platforms.
