POLITICS AT HOME.
LLOYD GEORGE AT LEICESTER.
ACCUSATION AGAINST PREMIER
MACDONALD AND LABOUR FUND.
(Reuter's Service.)
LONDON, October 6,
Mr. Lloyd George moet with an enthusiastic reception at
Leicester, where he addressed an audience of 10,000 people.
He accused Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald of abuse of his preroga tive as Premier, in putting the country to the expense and in-. convenience of an election, in- stead of consen- ting to an enquiry in the "Workers' Weekly" case.
He declared a gang of extremists had bullied the Government into interfering with Justice in the 'Workers' Weekly" prosecution, the same as a gang had bullied them into the guarantee to Russia.
"THE WILD MEN."
"If the 'Government cannot restrain the wild men now, when failure to restrain them means defeat, what could the Government do if it had a majority and was able to defy the Liberals, Conservatives and everybody else?",
LABOUR RARTY'S FUND.
Mr. Ramsay MacDonald has opened the inde- pendent Labour Party's special effort fund, in view of a general election, with a donation of £100.
SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT.

It is significant that Sir Patrick Hastings, who is not a member of the Cabinet, attended a meeting of Cabinet this afternoon, which considered the Government's course in the vital debate on Wed- nesday
the withdrawal of the "Workers Weekly" prosecution
Reuter's Agency understands that the deliber ations. did not change the position, namely, that the. Government will insist upon a decision by the House of Commons vote and not by enquiry, whether a select committee or a judical enquiry. that the Government consequently will be defeated and that its dissolution will follow.
Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, interviewed by Mr. Wickham Stead in the "Review of Reviews," refer- ring to the Liberal amendment, dwelt upon its unfairness in asking the Government to submit its case in advance to a select committee upon which its political opponents hold a majority. "Responsi-- bility for complicating or preventing the work we are trying to do in the national interest should be fairly and publicly assessed to the "House of Com- mons itself. Though the Government has no majority in the Lobby, it is entitled to demand fairplay. We are not a gang of footpads!"
Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, continuing, said he would personally rejoice at being relieved from the strain and worry of office, but from the national points of view he did not rejoice at the prospect of, - the confusion and frustrated achievement which an
attempt to eject the Labour Government may entail?

"SUBTLE POLICY OF IMPERIALISTS,
DICTATION TO JAPAN.
(Reuter's Service.)
LONDON, October 6. The "Times" Riga correspondent says that the Bolshevist clamour in regard to the alleged Anglo-American intervention in China has now į-taken...a...now, tura...... The Bolshevists now denounce the "subile policy of the Imperialists,' who, they alleged, are covertly and largely assisting Wu Pie-fu. The Bolshevists, are evidently con- sidering Wu Rei-fu's success against Chang Tso-lin. This is assured unless Changisolin receives help from Japan. They are attempting to entice Japan into some sort of a compact with the Soviet, and into intervention on behalf of Chang Tso-lin.
"IZVESTIA TO JAPAN,”
The "Izvestia" for example declares that Victory for Wu Pei-fo, MacDonald and Hughes seems certain, but this would mean an end to Japan's influence in China. Therefore, one must expect Japanese intervention in favour of Chang Teo-in against Britain and America. Japan cannot stand alone; she will seek friends.
"First of all Japan will endeavour to secure her safety by arrangement with the Soviet Union. Her interests unquestionably dictate this course."
