LIBERAL PARTY CRISIS.
Chief Whip Resigns. MR LLOYD GEORGE ANGERED. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 18, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 18. The Government’s defeat on Monday has produced a new crisis in the Liberal Party. An emergency meeting of Liberal Members of Parliament is being held to-night, when, according to political correspondents, Mr Lloyd George intends to do some plain speaking, and Will insist on an understanding in regard to future united action. He is angered at the Liberals imperilling the Electoral Bill especially. His first thought was to retire from the leadership of the Party, but he has decided to make another effort to consolidate It.
Sir Archibald Sinclair, Chief Liberal Whip, offered his resignation owing to Monday’s split vote. It is recalled that he only accepted office on the understanding that the Party would hang together.
