A CRISIS BRITISH GOVERNMENT

LONDON, May 14 The Daily Mail says that owing to ' iamentary feeling Viscount Swinseveral days ago placed his resig■i on in the hands of Mr Chamberwho refused to accept it, but rr tho debate on May 12 the Goviont will face a crisis more seri•han after Mr Eden’s resignation. I *r Chamberlain’s advisers contend that the Government cannot agree to the air inquiry, which the Conserva- • ves and Labour members demand, , , it would delay the Air Ministry work. However, if Mr Chamberlain rev-ses over 100 Conservatives are confronted either with abstaining from i important division or voting against the Government. Some beeves that a revolt can be averted if Viscount Swinton and Earl Winterton res gn, necessitating far-reaching reconstruction of the Cabinet. y\r Chamberlain will consider tho position over the week-end.
