By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. € Copyright, 1923, LONDON, December 8.—When Prime Minister Baldwin announced in the house of commons a month ago his intention of dissolving parllament and calling a general election on the issue of protective tariffs, he disregarded the best advice of the shrewdeat poli- ticlan of his party, Sir George Younger.
