LIBERALS TAKE FIRM STAND AGAINST EARLY APPEAL CABINET IN QUANDARY
, — By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. Sept. 28, 11 p.m. LONDON, Tuesday. Owing to the attitude of a group of Liberals, headed by Sir Herbert Samuel, the questions of the dissolution of Parliament next week remains in the balance. The Liberals are talcing a firm stand against an election, making it appear that the present Liberal Ministers will leave the Government, and that eventually, combined with their attitude on the tariff, is putting Cabinet in a quandary. The "Daily Herald" goes so fas as to say that an acute political crisis has arisen. The question of the election was hotly discussed at a Cabinet meeting. Four out of the ten Ministers, Mr. Philip Snowden, Lord Sankey, Lord Reading, and Sir Herbert Samuel, took up a decided line against an election, and Cabinet broke up without a decision and Mr. MacDonald, when he sees the King to-day, must report a deadlock. "The Daily Express' understands that the Cabinet debate resulted in Mr. MacDonald changing his mind and joining the opponents of an election.
