MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S DECISION
YIELDS TO COTXEAGUES' URGENT REQUESTS
STATEMENT BY SUNDAY TIMES
(BNItJD FRISS ASSOCIATION.-COPIRIOHT.) (AUSTRALIAN ■ NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received March 6,.9.30 a.m.) LONDON, 4th March.
The Sunday Times states definitely that Mr. Lloyd Georgo will not resign at present, and that the General Election will probably be postponed till the autumn. The decision was reached after Mr. Chamberlain and his Unionist colleagues had urged that Mr. Lloyd George's resignation would be a national disaster, and assuring him of their personal, loyalty, and determination to disclaim and not sanction any attempts at a Conservative breakaway. Mr. Lloyd George desired to resign altogether, apart from the intrigues, in order io ob- . tain mental and physical respite from the tremendous strain of recent months, but ho yielded to his colleagues' urgent requests and the call to duty, and agreed to continue in office. The paper adds: "The Coalition is thus patched up, but the Premier re : mains a sick man, and possibly will not stand the strain of a General Election. Before then we may see the revival of the attempt to form a Centre Party."
