LLOYD GEORGE MAY FORM CENTRE PARTY.

"MY SWORD IS IN MY HAND."

CURZON AND DERBY TO SUPPORT BONAR LAW. (Reuter's Service, i

London, October 20.

The collapse of the Coalition does not appears to have met with much regret. The papers adop: an air of resignation and mostly regard the future optimistically.

It is thought that Mr. Bar Law will be able to form a Minis try, after which he may decide to carry on the Government for a

while.

The Conservatives possess a clear majority in the House of Commons; hence a General Election may possibly be deferred untilį January or February, though it is expected inelistely to some

quarters.

There is reason to believe that a number of Unionists, including Earl Balfour. Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead, Sir Robert Horne and I ord Lee intend to throw in their to: with Mr. Lloyd George, who is reputed to be endeavouring to form a Centre Party.

Mr. Bonar Law, after he had seen the Kine Isat night, had a long talk with Lord Derby, also Sir George Younger and Colonel Gretton, the Die Hard leader, and others.

Sir Donald Mariean, speaking at Innerleithen, summed up the prospect by saying there would be "a veritable cinema show of parties and groups within parties." He said there would be not merely three-cornered but four-cornered contests and it was quite possible that the next majority in the Hous of Commons wooll re- present a minority of electors. He urged the new Government im-} mediately to pass a measure of Proportional Representation.

The Independent Liberals are generally considered best-equipped financially for a fight. Their war chest is estimated at £3,000,000, compared with the Unionists' £1,000,000 while the Labourites. though abounding with candidates, are impoverished by strikes and unemployment allowances.

Foreign Press Opinion.

London; October 20.. The news of Mr. Lloyd George's downfall was received with frank satisfaction in Paris, with anxiety in Berlin and with calm detachment in Washington, where the opinion is beld that the change will not affect the broad lines of British policy as regards the United States.

GREECE DECIDES TO RETRENCH.

The Greek Government, for ressons of economy, has decided to suppress a number of its Legations, including those at Berlin, Vienna, Tokyo, Petrograd, Brussels and The Hague. Vienna,

The New York Herold thinks it extraordinary that the Govern – ment's downfall should be produced by the attacks on Mr. Lloyd George's Turkish polley, his intrepid course of restraining the Turk being overwhelmingly approved by American sentiment.

The New York Tribune refers to the impairment of Mr. Lloyd George'a prestige by "the Genoa and Graeco-Turkish failures".

They gratifiedly anticipate that shook hands with the Prince of Wales, who patted him afectionately Franco-British relations will immediately improve with the ac- cession of a fresh leader. All hope that the new Cabinet will realise on the shoulder and wished him good luck. the necessity of intimate Franco-British collaboration.

A Berlin message says the Lokal Anzeiger voices the widely. held view that Mr. Lloyd George's resignation means-a fréen triumph for M. Poincare. The opinion is elsewhere expressed, how ever, that Britain, particularly in view of her unemployment problem, is unlikely to alter the main lines of ber policy.

The New York World is of opinion that things could not have happened better for Mr. Lloyd George, for the crisis will enable him to enter the elections as an aggressive Leader of the Opposition.

Ex-Premier in Fighting Mood.

.. There were scones of great enthusiasm at St.Pancras Station on the departure of Mr. Lloyd George in s special train for Leeds, ace companied by Mrs. Lloyd George and a hundred Liberal members, candidates and friends. Responding to the large crowd's demande for a speech, Mr. Lloyd George thanked the great assemblagu for coming to cheer him on his pilgrimage and declared “I am a free min; the buiden is off my shoulders, but my sword is in my hand.”
