LONDON, January IS
Forecasts for the Parliamentary session opening on Tuesday agree that the Government lias a difficult time ahead. Apart from the India Confei'ence, nothing has happened during the vacation to strengthen its position.
Mr. Lloyd. CJeorge, despite a long friendly talk with Mr. Philip Snowdcn, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is still convinced that the Government has not grasped the magnitude of the unemployment emergency. Sir Oswald Mosley (Lab., Smethwick) is determined to lead an attack on this subject. . ,
The Liberals are alarmed at some of the provisions of the Trades Disputes Bill, and 28 are reported t - have decided to vote against the second reading. Trey will certainly insist on sweeping amendments in committee.
The Government may be compelled to drop the School Age Bill, as all the sectarianism of a quarter of a century ago has been revived over the provision of additional accommodation in Catholic schools.
Nevertheless, lobbyists agree, that neither the Conservatives nor' the Liberals, nor the Mosleyites, are anxioiu for the immediate defeat of the Government.
