A FATEFUL DEBATE
PORTFOLIOS IN THE BALANCE. THE PRIME MINISTER MAY RESIGN WILL UPHOLD SIR SAMUEL HOARE. (United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright.) (Received Dec. 18, 1 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 17. The Sun-Herald says that not since 1914 has Parliament faced such a grave debate as that to be held on Thursday, nor an issue on which so much depends. The portfolios of Mr Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister, and Sir Samuel Hoare, Foreign Minister, are in the balance, and the future of Europe and the League of Nations may be influenced by the course of the debate. The Sun-Herald understands that Sir Samuel Hoare will open the debate and will immediately seek the confidence of the House in the Government and himself. In other words, he will let the House decide whether he should resign. Mr Baldwin will uphold Sir Samuel Hoare even to the extentyof offering his own resignation.
