BRITISH POLITICAL CRISIS.
MINISTRY FOUNDERING.
MANY ANTICIPATIONS.
BITTER DIFFERENCES ARISING. By Tolegripli—Prwu Association—Copyright United Service. (Received December 22, 9 a.m.) LONDON. December 18. Tho signs of tho thundering of Mr Lloyd George’s Ministry after a stormy session arc causing anticipations, but the House of Commons, including nearly 100 Government placemen and numbers who do not expect re-elec-tion,' is nut easily dissolved. Nevertheless bitter differences are arising within the Coalition. Liberals refuse to have the slightest truck with the tariff, while the Unionists are making the Home 'Rule scheme most difficult, and extremists are crying for tho sternest military repression in answer to the outrages in Ireland. Lobbyists repeat the charge that Mr Lloyd George and Mr Winston Churchill are forming ; a Centro Party .os a reply to tiup Unionist Party resolutions deuounciiiig his Manchester speech and insisting oii the independence and solidarity of Unionists as a separate Party. The failure of tho anti-profiteering legislation has cost thb-Government lot of support from tho country. ’
