they have strongly appealed to the
younger members of the Conservative
party.
Alone, this small group OF eloquent
idealists-the romantics of the House
are not likely to do much. But they
have placed their program on such a
wide basis that it is attracting support
from both Liberals and Socialists and a
new coalition of these three, while not
likely, is not impossible.
1t is not thought that Eden will be
able to veer Chamberlains policy far
out of the course it has followed ever
since these two split. so that Eden may
have to bolt the party in order to gain
wide support.

Perhaps. more than anything else,
Chamberlain's impatience in the face
of criticism and his tendency to act
without asking Parliaments consent
have alienated some Conservative sup
port.

but even since then, despite appeals
from the House, he has refused to lay
his plans before Commons.
Before the recent Chamberlain Hall
fax visit to Paris, the Premier was
asked to state his views. He was asked
to say what he was proposing that
Britain and France should do about the
German colonial demands but he did
not do so.
At the same time, the Prime Minister
has criticized Lloyd George and Church.

accusation that they were "fouling their

Lloyd George has been particularly

of Czechoslovakia," he says, with an
accomplished fact. There was no dis

to the Conservative members. They

But while there was general support

he is being advised, not by Winston

He wants national government with

Eden Grows Eloquent.
He has insistently explained, with
greater eloquence than ever before in his
career, that he does not alone want a
