Another of Lloyd George's famous political saa neuvers may be expected upon the re opening of Parliament. against a growing conviction here, if the pre mier is.to revive his sinking coalition government.

'These developments were outlined as follows: The administration In Ireland Is trying to crush the Sinn Fein move ment. Labor has delivered an ultimatum favoring the nationalization of mines and the danger of a political strike is ever present. The Russian question remains criti cal, with demands continuing for the return of British troops. The consistent defeat of coalition ists in bye-elections is diminishing the cabinet's prestige. The victory of Arthur Henderson was the seventh decisive loss suffered j by the coalition in almost as many j weeks. In addition to these elements, lti was pointed out. Lloyd George is faced with the possibility of changes within his cabinet. These problems await the premier's solution.
