FATE OF LIBERALISM
LLOYD GEORGE’S MOVE ANTICIPATED ATTITUDE OF REBELS United F.J..—By Telegraph — Copyright LONDON, Sunday. The “Daily Herald” says the future fate of Mr. Lloyd George and Liberalism and the political happenings* in Britain in the next few years all depend upon the metings of tlie Liberal “shadow Cabinet’* and Parliamentary Party, which are to be held on Monday and Tuesday respectively. It is understood that Mr. George is determined to bring matters to a head immediately. He will demand that the 12 rebels—eight who did not vote and four who voted with the Government on the Coalmines Bill division—shall either abide by the party’s decisions in the division lobbies or be expelled. It is expected that the rebels and some others will not agree to give complete obedience in the division lobbies unless the party undertakes not to defeat the present Government except on a major issue of conscience. If the party accepts that condition Mr. Lloyd George probably will resign its leadership. If it does not accept it the unity of the Liberals in the House of Commons will be definitely ended and the rebels under Mr. Walter Runciman will cease even to pretend to be united with the Lloyd George party.
