The present parliament has an- other two years legal life—having been elected in Décember, 1918, for a five-year term—but it is increasing- ly evident that the British premier | can not afford to let things run on ! until 1923 and take his chances of | being returned to office. K It is known that Lloyd George has been seriously considering the tactical | advantages of an immediate election on the Irish” question but wants to be sure of his ground first. An elec- tion would not solve the Irish prob- lem, but it would clear the air, and, according to reliable experts, give the premier a fresh lease on political life. The liberal-union coalition which keeps - Lloyd George in power has shown numerous sighs of cracking | lately. The coalition liberals are rap- |idly being wiped out, and the union- jists, who were always in a strong majority, have got distinctly restive. The erux of the situation is, of jcourse, Ireland—the bane of every | British government’s life for the past seventy years. The unionist party is the successor to the old conservative and Tory parties and it owes its ex- istence to the Gladsonian home rule cri Revolting liberals, headed by the late “Joe” Chamberlain, formed a liberal unionist party, whuse main |plank was the retention of Ireland | within the United Kingdom. Event- | uallyt the liberal label dropped into | disuse and with the old conservatives I making certainconcessions to retain these valuable | recruit; ‘tha. parties were amalgamated inta a conserva- tive arid’ unionist party, of ‘which the conservative is now. gencrally i dropped. To obtain unionist support, Lloyd Gcorgn had to pledge himself to an! Irish‘policy which does not permit of any severance. of the ties of _the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The initlation of negotia- tions with De Valéra caused much suspicion [dmong the unionist * “‘die and only the influence of Austen Chaimberlain —who adhered to his compact with Lloyd Georgé—averted an |mmul|ntu split. Recent “inspired” suggestions that Lloyd George would not ¢ n- e Ulster’s’ reéfusyl to mect Sinn vin's claims to Fermanagh and 7T rone, or similar possible compromises, “suflicient “grounds for the resump- tion of hostilities in Ireland” have driven these elemerits to a pitch. of desperation. The feeling is far more widespread n the country than has been reflected in the British press.

The element in_doubt is just how far the main body of unionist votets are prepared to go in their desires to settle. the Trish question.

'But the uni ing to stand as ‘“coalitionists” (or Lloyd Georgians). Lloyd Georges strongest card is that there is mo political leader of outstanding importance to succeed him. The labor party is singularly de- void of capable statesmen, and the premier’s chief rivals to lcadgrshlp would ‘seem to be Viscount Birken- head and Winston Churchill. Birken- head represents the militant unionists but old-fashioned conservatives do not trust political lawyers, and to libgrlas he is obnoxiolis on account of his share in the Ulster crisis of 1914, Churchill is known as a poli- |'energy, but as a-former conservative | who turned liberal, and who is now | suspected’ of leaning toward his ‘old | faith, he is not entirely trusted by emxer party, . % One of the strongest arguments in ,fivor of an election before Christ- nfas was that it could be fought on ‘| the oldelectoral lists. Fresh lists of voters come into force January 1, and it will take the party agents five | or six months to find out what the new voters are thinking.
