MINISTERS VISIT CHEQUERS
PRIVATE MEETING OF CON.
SERVATIVES.
LONDON, 3rd March. The Daily Chronicle's political correspondent writes: "the crisis in the Coalition' is still very serious. I hear that Mr. Lloyd George, when leaving for Cheauers, used ' an expression which his friends construe to mean that he doubted whether ho would return to Downing Street. Mr. Chamberlain and other Ministers will visit Chequers on Saturday to discuss the position. On the other hand, twothirds of the Conservative Commoners privately passed a resolution that they would support the Coalition, and another meeting will be held on Tuesday to discuss a. resolution:: 'That the next election must be fought, on a constructive national programme common to the adherents of the Government, and this can best be'done under the joint leadership, of Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Chamberlain.' An important discussion is
proceeding regarding the_ applicability of proportional representation to the situation."
