BRTIH LABORAY == FACEDOUBLEFIHT Lioyd George, for Liberals, Attacks Unemployment as Conservatives Move. By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 8.—The Labor gov- ernment, now in the midst of the Naval Conference, apparently is facing a hot parliamentary fight again next week. The Liberal party today issued a challenge to the Ramsay Macdonald ad- ministration on the unemployment question and announced its intention of opening fire in the House of Commons Monday, using the increase in unem- ployment as ammunition. | With the Conservatives planning & vote of censure next Thursday and the | B Liberals about to open a campaign on the unemployment problem, the Mace donald government is faced with highly | important activity in the House of Commons. Political opinion varies as to what the result will be, but it was held likely in many quarters that the gov- | ernment would escape, as it did on the coal bill debate by narrow majorities through the abstension of either Liber- als or Conservatives. Restrained by Conference. While both opposition parties are evidently preparing to take full ad- vantage of the Labor regime’s increas- ing embarrassment over unemployment, neither the Liberals nor Conservatives have shown themselves keen to risk unseating the prime minister during the course of the Naval Conference. The_statement issued at the Liberal party headquarters today said that the | party had grown increasingly impa- tient with the government's “continued fallure” to make any real attempt to grapple with unemployment, It had, | therefore, decided, beginning Monday, to push the Liberal proposals for remedy\nf that condition, which were brought forward during the campaign. Mr. Lloyd George started the ball a-roliing wWith a challeriging speech. ‘Those Pmposals embraced a wide pro- frlm of public works, which the Liberal eader said would not only make a big cut in. unemployment, but would in- crease the economic equipment and strength of the nation. “It can be assumed that from Mon- day onward,” the statement added, “the Liberal party will maintain constant pressure on the government with regard to its unemployment policy, and that the period of truce on this question is now definitely at an end.” & Predicts Embarrassment. ‘The Liberal party statement declared that its campaign mAy not only prove & spurce of embarrassment to the gov- ernment, but may easily provoke a crisis within the Labor party itself. | The action aroused interest in po- litical circles, especially in view of the fact that a few days ago the Conserva- tives, through Stanley Baldwin, former prime minister, introduced a vote of censure which is to be moved formally by him on March 13.
