LONDON, April 21.--The Easter re

tunity to Iay their plans for a battle i

which may rn- decisive, probably will

Mennwhilc the Premier can pay more
attention to domestic reconstruction
logislation, following fairly closely tho
programme laid down by labor.
Can Appeal t<> Elcctoratc
Wh< n he tliinks the nttacks are si ri
ous he can appeal again to thc olecto
rate. His National Industrial Couneil
gives him excellent material with which
,to work. There is always the possibil
ity that hc can mako it almost as im?
portant as the Commons itself.
Northcliffe's great difficulty is to
ind an anglo I'rom which to fight.
! Twelve months ago, when he told of his
schemc for resettling soldiers after the
war, he described a plan which would1
rcvolutionize landowning conditions in
England. These views appeared fre- i
quently in his papers, and he hardly
can make an about face at this time.
It. might win him Parliamentary sup-1
port, but would not increase his popu
larity. On thc other hand, he can \
hardly hopp to fight Lloyd George from
positions ^urtlier to tho Left.
Lloyd George no longer enjoys the
press support which he had during thc
war. Thc British press l,as recovered
its independence since the armistice,
and its editorial commeiits are freer
and carry more weight.
By throwing over Northcliffe, Lloyd
George gained the support of Libcral
organs such as "The Daily News," "The
Westminster Gazette" and "The Star"
and did not injure his standing in the
columns of "The Daily Chronicle."
"Tho Daily Express" and "The Tele?

Petrograd Workmcn Revolt
WASHINGTON, April 21.?Revolt of
workmen in Petrograd was reported to- j
day in advices to the State Department
from the Russian frontier. The
workmen's organization in that city,
the advices said, adopted resolutions
last Friday dcmanding the reestab
lishment of the constituent assembly,
the freedom of the press and the right
to private ownership of property.
That this action is regarded by the
Soviet government as a serious rlefec
tion from its ranks is indicated by the
facl that the Bolsheviki have found it
necessary, in order to repress dis
orders among these workmen. to recall
? ? e Volga int ernal ional battalions.
Propaganda Fund Raised
Bolshevik st.atistics, tho dispatches
said, show that 500,000,000 rubles have
beon sei aside for propaganda work
in foreign countries. it is said the
Bolsheviki propose to send this litera
ture by boat through the liaitic and
into Finland through Lake Ladoga
v hen navigat ion opei .
Peasanl uprising continues in Sim
birsk and Olonets provinces, the dis?
patches add. Pontoon bridges are
being constructed across the Neva,
ten kilometres above Petrograd, so
that in case the ninth Bolshevik army
mi the I . fron ier has to retreat
the troops may avoid Petrograd and
