G. GARDNER. By Cablé 16 The Star. LONDON, November 3.~When King George ns. Parllament on Tuesday, Prime ister Baldwin in all proba- | Dbility will enter on the last session of | his governmient. Whether hz can re- covér his ground remains to be seen. but the portents are definitely against him ‘and the - curious episode of Lord Birkenhead's resignation of the Indian secretaryship is interpreted as meaning that Mr. Baldwin's ship is sinking and the time has come to seek shelier els>- ‘Where. | Lord Birkenhead, whose scale of liv- | Ins is a legend of magnificence, frankly | indicates that he wants more money the haste of his departure is regarded | as_significant that the time is short | in which to take the tide of opportunivy | at its flood. in the country, where the by-election are going strongly against the govern- | ment, and where the municipal el tiens Thursday resulted in an over whelming demonstration of the grow-| ing strength-of Labor. It is clear that | in the industrial constituencies M. | Baldwin will suffer heavy losses, ana the program of the coming session gives little promise that he will be able to check the current. Industry Is Problem. The main card is the policy of de- rating industry in order to stimulat trade, but the scheme arouses Opposi- tion on the ground that prosperous in- dustries would be de-rated as well as the unprosperous ones and that the distributing trades would have to beer the burden of relieving the manufac- | turing trades. Mosmveg. the humiliating exposure | of. the naval agreement with France | has aroused the. deepest feeling that | the, government is untrustworthy on | foreign affairs. _This feeling was some- | what mitigated- by Mr. Baldwin's speech | at the League of Nations Union, in | which he-denied the sugestion that the | boy vernment had abandoned its Locarno | &Mfln of impartiality. or had entered into - naw -engagements, or had less cordiality toward Germany than toward | France. Bui while no one questions the sin- | of - the prime minister, recent events leave much to be explained, and | Tord Cushendun's speech on the en- tente is held by some as most dis- o qufi“‘t‘h‘e circumstances, it ncul&nlfl;r ranted that the government will lose fn ‘the coming election heavily to Labor and less heavily to the Liberals, and While it still- will be the largsst party in the House, it. probably will not have 3 working majority ‘over Labor and the Liberals. The chief subject of specylation is what will happen in the event the Liberals under Former Prime Minister Lloyd George emerge with the balance of power. The present ostensible re- lation between Lloyd George and Ram- say MacDonald, the Labor leader, is war to the knife, but the inner cycles are discussing the possibility of a coalition of some sort after the election. But Lloyd George.-and Philip Snowden say. s!gnlt‘cmfly that the King’s. gov- ernment must be carried on, and the impression is general that Lloyd George is ‘not unprepared to coalesce with elther party. His supporters in the re busily engaged in habituating the’ public mind to the idea of & coall~ tion cabinet, with Lloyd George, as the ‘merger-in+chief, ready to make the best terms possible with either the Con- servatives or Labor. This situation is peguliarly suited to his nimble genius, which dislikes the party system except as an instrument for making private deals and manipulating fluid masses of opinion. Merger Not Popular. Neither Baldwin nor MacDonald is personally anxious for a merger which involves Lloyd George as a colleague. Indeed, it is improbable that Baldwin would ‘accept such a situation in any ciraumstances, for he was the chief instrument in smashing Lloyd George's post-war coalition government and re- storing the independence of the Con- servative ence, in the event of the Conserva- tvés Sailing 1 secure & majority: the probabilities point to a deal beiween Labor and Lloyd George, in which case | the- question arises, Who would be | prinfe minister? | ‘MacDonald still is the most powerful | personality in the Labor party, but a | movement is on foot to press Snowden’s | claims, he being on much more friendly | terms with Lloyd George than Mac- Donald.- The fly in Lloyd George's ointment 18 that the Liberal party still is bitterly ‘divided,-and a . considerable section, ‘represented by Lord ‘Grey, ‘would refuse to acknowledge his leader- | blurted out. *“But where is the blood. and where We got here they could have moved all the dead and covered up all the blood.

A long black line of automobiles that had been penned up to give pedestrians the right of way spurted forward and the newsboy man had to wait for ‘a clear coast like a dozen others clustered at ths curb. So he shuffied, this way, that way: for- ward and batkward, until he toppled over on the asphalt—a not expected, hard spilling tumble that must have | near broken his spine.
