LONDON, October 1s.-Great Brit
aims lightning election is sweeping
the country like a cyclone. The in
tensity of the struggle is proper
toned to it's unprecedented brevity.
only three weeks passing between
the dissolution of Parliament and the
polling.
Feeling is extraordinarily bitter, and
Primo Minister MacDonald's attack
on the Liberals is being couched in
terms apparently deliberately often
sive. His opening speech at Glasgow
was radioed to 100000 listeners,
but it came through like a muftied
roar, and was generally regarded as
deplorable. But his whirlwind motor
tour through the country has aroused
enormous enthusiasm in the indus
trial centers.
David Lloyd George has taken the
lead in a reply attacking Mr.. Mac
Donald with equal bitterness, but
more wit. Great indignation has
been aroused in the Labor party by
furious attack in the New States
man, a Labor weekly, on Mr.. Mac
Donald as having caused the breach
with the Liberals by his refusal to
recognize that they put him In office
and his persistent rudeness to the
party in Parliament.
Sought to Break Liberals.
The denunciatIon undoubtedly was
just. and it is impossible to question
that Mr.. Macdonald. from the begin
ming, resolved to use his office to
break the Liberals. 1t is equally true
that Mr.. Lloyd George desired the
rupture, but H. H. Asquith did not.
Disagreement on the Russian loan
and on the withdrawal of the Com
munist prosecution, however. gave
two firebrands their chance of SIAM
peding the position. 1t was predicted
months ago that Macdonald and
Lloyd George could never eat out of
the same trough. Both are too am
bilious to rule alone.
There can be no doubt that the
result of the election will be dew
astating blow to the Liberal party.
The breach with Labor has driven it,
willy -nilly, into relations with the
Conservatives against the wishes of
the majority of the party. The gen.
eral calculation is that the Liberals
will lose so to 10 seats, and that the
Conservatives will be strengthened to

hat extent, Labor remaining about

Strange Combinations.
The Liberals have entered into
oacts with the Conservatives in many
constituencies to avoid three
lights and secure the defeat of the
Labor candidates. This may modify
the result to the disadvantage of
Labor, which at the last election Sc
cured 70 seats with a minority poll.
Fhe only real question is whether the
Conservatives will get clear ma
tority of the House or whether the
remnant of the Liberal party will
still hold the balance of power. In
The latter case, many expect to see
something like a revival of the coali-
ton with perhaps Lloyd George, Win
7ton Churchill and Lord Birkenhead
reunited.
In any case, practical destruction
IF the historic Liberal party of
Gladstone and Bright seems the most
probable issue of the election, with
me Conservatives and Labor sharing
the assets of the party between them
ana restoring in the end the two
party system under new auspices.
In this connection, the public is
watching with much interest the
the beginning of new movement is
visible. not unlike that which is
rapidly changing the whole face Of
British politics. La Toilette is ap-
pealing to discontents with the old
party systems similar to those which
now have made Labor the second
party in Great Britain and will as
suredly put it into power again in
the course of a few years.
Sees Conservative Return.
The writer believes that Great
Britain is now in for period of
three or four years of Conservative
government, to be followed by a real
accession of Labor to power as well
as to office. Labor has tried it's ap-
prentice hand at government, not en-
tirely without success, especially in
the field of foreign affairs.
Some concern prevails as to the
effect of the return of the Conserva-
tives to power upon events in that
field. Their loyalty to the league of
nations is very perfunctory and the
general spirit of the party still is
dominated by ideas of imperialism
and force.
Meantime, the German loan has
gone like hot cakes. The demand for
