CRISIS REACHED
BY mac DONALD
Overthrow of BIRTHS h
Laborites Predicted
by Observers
(By The Associated Press

LONDON. Oct 1T: TX has again
arisen over the imminent fall of the
labor government AMI the probability
cf general election before Christmas.
Similar expectations have been raised
more than once since the labt rites as
sumed office, but this time t.c fore
Cast is declared to be the real asaing.
The crisis-for so it i regardel All
sidcs-came suddenly late last a,ight
when notice was given III parliament OF
two motions against the ruvcrnra ant.
One, by the conservatives. ccnsurciAthe
governments conduct in reference Sto
the abandonment of criminal procee
ings against James Ross Campbell. aci-
ing editor Of the Workers Weekly, 4
communist publication
The other by the liberals. voiced dis
approval Of the Anglo Russian treaty
which, according to the wording az the
motion, INSTEAD Of providing genuine
contribution toward dissolving the pra5-
lem Of unemployment. threatens to di-
vert resources which are urgently need
ed for rational and imperial develop
ment, and contemplatcs that the British
taxpayers should be liable for loans to
the Russian state, raised by means of
the British government, as the condi-
tion upon which the private Claims Of
certain British creditors should be re-
cognizcd or met by the Soviet repub-
lie"
IL had been recently understood that
the liberals were prepared to support
u motion condemnirr Attorney General
Patrick Hastings for mishandiing the
Campbell case, but doubted whether to
support IL II it involved the whcle gov
ernment. 1t had been further under
stood. however that Premier Macdonald
was determined to stand by the altar
ney general and that II the latter were
censured. the premier would not allow
him to resign while the rest Of the
government continued in office, but
would retire with him.
II IL inconceivablc that the ccnscrva-
tiycs will abstain from supporting d mo-
tion directly aimed ut defeating the
Russian treaty and the govern mcnt is
regarded as certain to be out voted by
a big majority. The treaty, however.
will not come up for discussion for
nearly another month. so the govern
ment is certain of that much lease Of
life II not defeated meanwhile on the
Campbell matter.
