Probable, an0 Ministers Prepare
to- Resign.
POLITICAL LEADERS BUSY
London. Nov. 30.? This ie the day
of crisis ipx Kngland A canvass of
the house of lords, showed that there
was no hope that the budget could
escape rejection by tjrg upper house.
The cabinet was in session almost
continuously, preparing to resign
wh%n the lords took their final
ie effect of the crisis was fell
throughout the united kingdom flnaiflb
daily, a"nd confusion was general lrP
money affairs. Experts had no more
inkling as to what would be the final
result than had the public.
Two steps immediately follow such
a move as the rejection by 'the lords;
the resignation of the cabinet and the 7
dlssolutlon of parliament. ?
TEe~polftical leaders of all parties
were busy today preparing for these
developments ? ^
"" There was little hope that Lord
Morley's masterful plea for the gov
ernment before the "lords Would
:heck the expected course. The gon
?ral opinion was that all mlnds'.were
?tirendr made up on this momentous
question, and that no final Ippeal
:ould alter the decision.
Lord Alorley gave warning that the
?xpected step by the lords would
bring about one of the bitterest po
litical struggle^ that has ever riven
the nation. - _L .
It was nearly 2t>.0 years ago that
the house of lords ? took so high a
hand as the plan decided on In this
matter. Not slnre the 17tli century
