24 BRITAIN IS FEELING U. . WHEAT RISE Bread Back at Wartime Basis—No Taxation Re- lief in Prospect. BY A. G. GARDINER. Br Radio to The Star. LONDON, January 31.—Events in the Chicago wheat market have been followed immediately here by an in- crease in the price of bread to a level not reached in modern times except in the 1 ost critical period of of living was rise In the cost of food creates pro- found disqulet Bankers at their annual meetings all are urging a return to the gold standard, but the problem is compli- cated by the fact that with imported food rising in value, exports and man- ufactures are restricted by the high cost of production and the balance of external trade s becoming in- creasin adver: No Relief in Sight. Nor is an relief visible in taxation, which hangs like a stone around the neck of industry. At the moment, Chancellor Winston Churchill is en- gaged in a struggle with the admir- alty over the naval estimates, which probably will reach In the neigh- borhood of $350,000,000. Mr. Churchill resist these de- mands at the point of resignation? The writer does not anticipate that he will risk the fate of his father, who fell in the same struggle Yet the case against naval expan- slon 1s . but the Tory party sist the military demands, and revival of the Singapore naval base has committed the govern- ment to a heavy increase in the bur- den. Morcover, France's decisive aerial superiority has involved the country in | a vast increase in expenditure for the | devel nt of an air navy It follc that little expectation 1is entertafhed that Mr. Churchill's bud- &et will provide any rellef of the bur- den of taxation. This adds to the con- cern which prevalls at the alarming tendency of good prices Watch Liberal Leaders. Political attention here this week has been centered on the Asquith-Lloyd George drama. The episode began with the announc A quith had ac of Oxford, which was offered after his defeat in th cent elections, Ac- ceptance of a seat In the House of Lords enables Mr. Asquith to continue leadership of the Liberal party and the Beaverbrook press announced, with a great appearance of inspiration, that Mr. Lloyd George had hed the end of his patience, and t he would re- volt and leave the party Significance was attached to the announcement owing to the notori- ously close relations between Mr. public awaited Thui great eagerness. That was the day fixed for the great Liberal conven- tion, designed to reorganize the party. Would Mr. Lloyd George ex- plode a bomb and blow the party into fragments? The event disappointed anticipations of a convulsion. Mr. Lloyd George denounced the mischief makers in the press and declared his hearty acceptance of the Asquith leadership. Appearances were thus saved and e convention proceeded to its tasks no one was deceived by appear- ances. The struggle behind the scenes was emblittered and irrecon- cllable. Powerful forces in the party ved never to accept the leader- of Mr. Lloyd George and regard the continuance of Mr. Asquith as the only protection against that men- ace. But Mr. Asquith now 1Is 73 years old, and Mr. Lloyd George is 10 vears vounger. Mr. Asquith is in- active and Mr. Lloyd George is us active as a ferret. Hope for New Deal. Mr, Lloyd George's foes hope Mr. Asquith will hold the bridge long enough to enable the Liberal party to create a new situation in the country which permanently will defenat Mr. Lloyd George's aims and produce a new leader. Their difficulty is that no such potential leader is visible. In spite of the widespread dis- trust of Mr. Llovd George, he s still incomparably the most skillful elec- tioneer and he is unrivalled in his powers of popular appeal. Having lost all hope of restoring the coali- tion, he now reverts to his earlier vadical manner, in which he outbids all his Liberal rivalrys and aims to over- whelm-party managers by stampeding the rank and file. Moreover, he has the power of purse. While coalition premier he collected a great party fund, which he still personally con- trols, while the offictal party coffers are bare. The odds favor Mr. Lloyd George's ultimate victory and capture and con- trol of the party machine, but it is improbable that he will ever restore the Liberals to power or bring about an accommodation with Labor, with which has flirted in the past, but with which he now has quarreled ir- revocably.
