DIVISION IMMINENT
IN BRITISH CABINET
Bridgeman May Resign if Big
Navy Program Fails
to Pass.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Cable to The star and ChicaEo bAiiS Ne"s
ttLONDON. July 2t.-The cabinet
crisis which has heen looming for a
week over the veXed question of navaI
armaments is still critical, with the
resignation of some members of the
government now within the range OF
possibility.
THE whole issue is reminiscent OF
pre-war days. being a fight between
big navy and little navy advocates
Among the former are w. c. Bridge
man. first lord of the admiralty. and
Lord Beatty. first sea lord. Among
the latter are Winston Churchill
chancellor of the eXchequer, and other
economy advocates.
Slow Spenders Needed.
David Lloyd George. speaking in
the House of Commons. expresses the
point at issue by this epigram:
I've don't need fast cruisers. We
need slow spenders.
The statement was welcomed by
everybody except the admiralty
Prime Minister Baldwin finds himself
in. the most awkward predicament
since he took office. with his huge
ma iority split more or less evenly ne
tween advocates OF the DIE ana Hllle
navies. The split is especially serious
since a compromise between two such
diAmetrically opposed viewpoints Is
almost Impossible.
If Mr.. Brdeeman. who wants 10
start building a series of new cruisers
now. at an expense of $50. 600 900. wins
his point. then the Churchill budget
becomes a joke. and British taxpayers,
already oVerhurdened can look for
ward to no relief for years.
Bridgeman's Loss Threatened.
If Mr.. Bridgeman loses his point
and if the new navy plans are thus
discarded he probably will resign. car
rying with him Lord Beatty and the
admiralty board.
Thus. either way the issue is de
cided. Mr. Baldwin will find himself
with half his party alienated. As the
situation becomes clearer it also he
comes more bitter.
The newspapers are almost unani
nous in supporting the economy pro
gram. They are full OF incendiary
talk about iron fists of sea lords.
which is strangely reminiscent of the
forgotten days before 1914
Because of the crisis MIR. Baldwin
has postponed the cabinet meeting un-
I'll tomorrow. when he will suggest
cruisers and delay building them urg
sential issue in all the world at the
present time
