CONSERVATIVE RANKS DIVIDED
LIBERALS REUNITED BALDWIN'S PROSPECT OP MAJORITY. forms FKiis A«soeu«ON.—coniuair.) (AWMAHAX-NBT? ZIALAHD CABII ASSOCIATION.) \ LONDON, 26th November. The "Daily Express's" Parliamentary correspondent points out an important contrast with the last election. Then it wa» the Liberals who were divided, and the Conservatives who were united. Now the position, is reversed. The Liberals are reunited, and the Conservatives are so faT divided on the vital issues of tariffs that if Mr. Baldwin secures a clear majority over the Liberals and Labourites, he may be unable to" carry his tariff owing to the Conservative Freetraders'.
Viscount Younger, the brilliant organiser of Mr.. Bonar Law's success, is credited with the prediction of a clear Conservative majority of thirty-five, an estimate with which, the Stock Exchange, "the home of Conservative optimism," agrees.
The "Daily Express," on the contrary, says that city financiers and bankers are mostly convinced Freetraders, and anticipate that the Government will not have a clear majority over tie combined opposition parties.
