COUNCIL'S OVERWHELMING CASE
PROBABLE COURSE OF EVENTS IN
PARLIAMENT.
(PUBLISHED IN TOE TIMES.)
LONDON, 18th February.
The Times, in a leading article dealing with Sir' William Robertson, says: "The Allied War Council's agreement rendered imperative a curtailment of the illogical powers conferred on the Chief of Staff for temporary reasons. The Government's alternating bursts of confidence have caused mishandling. There is an overwhelming caso in favour of the Allied War Council's decisions, which did not show the slightest conflict."
The Times lobbyist believes that if the facts aro fully disclosed an effective attack against the Government -will be impossible. Cabinet supports the Premier.
The. Daily Telegraph's Parliamentary reporter says that an important debate upon the military changes is inevitable. Mr. Lloyd George, either on Monday or Tuesday, will endeavour to attend the House of Commons and make a statement. The sequel will probably be a direct issue of confidence in the Government upon Mr. Asquith's motion, or Ministers may challenge the opinion of the House. "
