COMMENT ON THE SPEECHES
PREMIER'S DEMAND NOT MET.
LONDON, sth Mirch,
The speeches of Mr. Austen ChamberJain and Sir.Worthington Evans, asßiiring Mr. Lloyd George of the personal loyalty of the Conssrvative leaders, and the belief that his resignation would be against the national interests, do not meet Mr. Lloyd George's demand that discipline must be maintained in the Conservative-ranks, and that he must have a freedom from attack which the leaders, seem powerless to enforce. Though the Conservative members of the House of Commons, who are revolting against the Coalition, number only eighty, there is a widespread revolt throughout the country nmong&t the local Conservative organisations, which refuse to support Coalition candidates, and demand a revival of party distinctions. Nevertheless Mr. Lloyd George may consent to carry on until the impending' General Elections. His decision will be announced on Tuesday.
