He could do that smoothly by re.
signing himself when he sees King
George and then form a ley gov

Ing them out.
This course was believed to have
been urged on him by conservative
back-benchers with whom he con-
ferred today just before a meeting
OF the war cabinet.
Harder Job
Filling their places would be q
harder job.
The labor party has declared it
will not allow its members to serve
in a government over which Cham.
berlain holds the whip hand.
According to veteran political OBJ
servers, there are two ways out OF
that dilemma.
First, Attlee, Greenwood and Nor
rison might bolt their rarity for the
new cabinet by pleading that Eng
land needs us" and this is no time
for partisan grudges.'
There was a possibility that such
a change of sides might influence
Lloyd George and liberal opposition
leader Sir Archibald Sinclair to fol.
low the laborites' lead.
Secondly, the labor conference
may draw up terms under which it
would agree to participate in the
Chamberlain government.
With the conference in mind, the
labor opposition docilely accepted
the 12-day parliamentary adjourn.

water carrier provisions, would
have streamlined the work Of the
interstate commerce commission,
and would have made dozens of
changes in the ICC act intended
to improve the financial condition
Of railroads.
Its rejection by the house re-
suited primarily from the decision
of senate and house c~onferees to
strike out three amendments writ
ten in on the house floor last sum-
mer.
One, sponsored by Rep. Harring-
ton (D-Ia) would require the ICC
to obtain assurances, before ap-
proving a consolidation Of carriers,
that no jobs would be eliminated.

Another, by Rep. Wadsworth (R-
N.Y. would permit water lines to
reduce their rates to meet rail
competition as long as the charges
were compensatory.
The third, offered by Chairman
Jones (D-Tex) Of the house agri-
culture committee, would guaran-
tee that farm products moving to
seaports for export would enjoy
the same low transportation
charges applicable to manufactured

ton which cannot be answered to-
night.
Foreign Secretary Halifax and
First Lord Of Admiralty Winston
Churchill were also present at the
conference. 1t is likely that If a new
prime minister energies from the
political crisis it will be n of these
two.
In any event it appears unlikely
that the shaggy-haired Welshman
David Lloyd George, would return
to the Office he held in the decisive
years Of the World war He Is re-
ported to have declined to be con
sidered for leadership in a second
war, after so years Of active politics.
Another thing seemed even more
certain-a quickening Of the war
effort and greater initiative to salve
Britons disturbed by the failure in
Norway.
"AlmOst Certain"
The lobby correspondent Of Reu-
tiers, British news agency, said In a
midnight review of the government
crisis that Chamberlain's departure
'is almost certain"
He named Lord Halifax, Churchill
and Lloyd George as the three most
likely names from which a new
prime minister would be chosen, and
added the belief that Churchill would
be the most likely selection.
This commentator said it was be.
lieved that labor would serve under
Churchill.
Before parliament recessed today
until May Fl for the Whitsunttde
holiday, a proclamation In the name
Of King George vi made an addition
al 0 900 men liable for armed
service when summoned.
The proclamation gave Britain a
potential fighting manhood Of 4,
500, 900 between the ages Of 10 ano
81.
The government also prepared tc
burst any Trojan Horse" within
Britain. It presented a bill demand
ing the death penalty for grave
cases of espionage and announced
regulations to control aliens and
propaganda.
Carefully Framed
Sir John Anderson, home secre
tary, told the house of commons the
measures were framed carefully tc
halt "mischievous activities" with
out ~penalizing mere expressions o.
opinion.
A labor party conference starting
next Monday probably will decide
the party's definite attitude TOWARD
a coalition government such as mos
critics of the Chamberlain cabinet
are demanding.
The prime minister appeared al
the same time to be wooing Davie
Lloyd George, who emerged from the
hectic parliamentary debate on Brit
aims reverses in southern and cen
trail Norway as the most potent
spokesman Of the OPPOSITION.
Want Blessing
Chamberlain apparently wanted
the World war prime minister to &C
cept a post in the cabinet or, al
least, give it his blessing.
The days events confirmed BELIEF
that 71-year.old Chamberlain means
to try one more fall with destiny and
