THE BILL IN SUSPENSE.
The Expeditionary Forces Bill is still in suspense. The first conference between representatiA T es of the two Houses sat for tAvo hours last night, and failed to agree. It is understood that they did not get any way towards agreement, and that the chances of a second or any subsequent conferences being able to agree upon a compromise or any other solution acceptable to both Houses are slendei’.
This means that it is probable that the Bill Avill not pass. There is nothing in the measure of any real value except the contentious clause. Fcav members bclieA’e that there is any real danger of a smash of the National Cabinet, or of a dissolution.
