LIBERALS CANNOT JOIN CONSERVATIVES
(Sipm (stm cabib.)
LONDON, 9th December. The " Daily News " says a definite alliance of Conservatives and Liberals is impossible. No Liberal would tolerate it, and half the Conservatives would revolt. A Liberal-Labaur Coalition Government would be acceptable to neither party, but a working arrangement, whereby one would take office and rely on the support of the other, is within possibility. Labour would be almost certain to refuse office without power, but probably the Liberals could govern on a programme which would attract Labour support in the division lobby. Some Labourites are resolutely hostile ts any working arrangements with the Liberals. If the party as a whole adopts this 'view another election is unavoidable. In that ovent Labour may obtain and seize the opportunity of going to the country as a Government.
