THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

A CRISIS FEARED.

December 27, 3:30 pm The political situation is most interesting. The Cabinet meet ing to-day will probably discuss Lord Derby's figures, which are stated to reveal a fact necessitating the fulfilment of Mr. Asquith'a pledge, atd, possibly, leading to the resignation of the anti-Compalsicais: Ministers, Even a General Election is zaggested, but a compromise may be effected by giving the single nattest eda" another chance of joining voluntarily while the compulscry scheme is being pretared.

It says: "If he is unable to make up his mind to give the country the fighting lead for which it is loving, then Mr. Loyd George, who stands for what the country wante, should take biscomags in both hands and appeal, like Chatham, to the nation.”* The Olierter says he would win clean ou

**December 27, 2.50 am. Sir Samuel Montagu in an interview with a correspondent of the New York Tribuna, made a most favourable comparison between Ra Britain's and Germany's financial positions. He contrasted in scathing terms Dr. Helferrich's hysterics with M. Ribot's untarnished account of the French Lan results. Germany threw everything in the scale to strike a blow before our preparations could bear fruit. She struck but failed. He pointed out that while British exchange Wed In America had been restored and was steadier, the Germal-Time

was falling to raumshing point. Germany had realised, all ni her available sets in the shape of negotiable foreign securities ande had earpended specie payments. If this happened under prescal) conditicus what will be the valus of the Mark when peace con and the German importer wants to restock his empty lzed storehouses and tries to exchange depreciated paper for goods?
