BRITISH POLITICS
FATE OF THE GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE WITH LIBERALS LONDON, June 13. The leaders of tho Liberal and Labour parties met to explore the situa-1 tion arisen over the Liberal Party’s amendment to an important clause in the land taxation proposals of the Government’s Finance Bill. Deliberations will probably bo continued during the week-end. The newspapers express the belief that accommodation is likely to be found and the crisis anticipated by Mr Lloyd George’s Edinburgh speech may be avoided. In to-day’s conversations the Primo Minister was accompanied by Mr Philip Snowden, who is in charge of the Financial Bill, and Messrs Lloyd George and A. Samuel attended on behalf of tho Liberals. A full meeting of the Liberal Party on Monday will finally decide upon the action to be taken on tho amendment, which will be tabled for the consideration of the House of Commons on Tuesday.
