BALFOUR'S PRAISE FOR DAVID LLOYD GEORGE on, March 7.—(By The.A. P.)— xlfnx(: one of the greatest figures of the world's history—what is he use of abusing him,” said Sir Arthur J. Balfour alluding to the prime minister, Davi Lloyd George, in a speech at the Carle- ton club today. This speech, which was expected to give some clarity to the tuation threw no new light on the «© is, however, and, Sir Arthur, Ilke his unionist volleagues, Austen Chamber- lain and S'r Laming Worthington-Evans, far from reproaching Sir George Young- er, who was the real provoker of fhe crisis, did not even mention his name. Balfour made & powerful plea for the continuance of the coalition system as opposed to a return to the two-party system, which he declared was only i fair weather system, totally unsuited to the present abnormal times when the nation was still laboring under the after- math of the war. The whole importance of the speech {es in thie influence it is colculated it will have on the rank and file of the conserva- tive party as coming from the oldest and most respected leader of the party. The extent of this influence cannot im- mediately be calculated. Throughout his political career, fn- cluding the period of his premiership, it was always made a reproach against Balfour by the extremists that he was disinclined to take a stropg line on any given ‘pollcy ; .it is “therefors open to. surmise that his plea in behal? of the coalition will have but little effect upon the upporters of Younger. No snnouncement Was made {n the Siege. speech of the premier's future plans, and in this way the speech was disappointing. It leaves the situation unchanged. While the crisis has subsided, th4 problem has mot been solved. The prime minister has acceded to stromg repres sentations, and will remain to ses through the government's Irish and Gea- oa policies. He is retiring to the se- clusion of his home in Wales for a period variously mentioneq as a fortnight te six weeks, leaving active charge of the situation to Mr. Chamberlain and other cabinet ministers, His comslition to< night was so far improved that he waf able to get out of bed He hopes to pre- side over the cabinet at moon tomorrow, and will start Thursday morning fos Criceleth. The general view is that the crisis wi not occur until autumn, when parifa- ment will 52 dissolved. But the activie ties of the dissentient unionists have by no meana ceased, as seen by their de- termined attacks on the Free State bill in parifament yesterday. Sixteen of thels leaders, eight to each house, today is sued a stirring manifesto to their follows rs in a sound comservative policy, ine cluding “efficiency of the second chame ber, 5o gravely impaired of late years* which is a clatm for restoration of the ord's veto, and declaring that “the ame biguous language and inconsistent actiom of the past must be in the future scrupue lously avolded.” ‘Th! while not mentioning the eoalfe tlon administration, is a clear - tion of what the “die hards” considler thq defect In the coalition policy.
