SPLIT IN CABINET.
ON NAVAL EXPENDITURE.
Presi Association—Electric Telecraph—Copyright LONDON, Tuesday.
Tho Daily Telegraph states that a gravo crisis is expected in the Cabinet on the naval policy, which Cabinet will discuss on Thursday.
Tho Telegraph declares that the majority of the Ministers agree with the Right Hon. D. Lloyd George in opposing the Right Hon. Winston Churchill's estimates, and that tho latter's relations with tho Chancellor aro so strained that the resignation of one or the other is regarded as possible. If Mr Winston Churchill is defeated the whole Admiralty Board threaten to resign. The Telegraph adds that a majority in Cabinet is intent on abandoning even the (50 per cent, standard.
Mr Lloyd George's conversation, which at first was regarded as impulsive, in now viewed as a carefully-plan-ned revolt against, increased naval expenditure.
