solidfying
hostility of
pro-
tectionism
Mr. Baldwin’s means
to
drop
it, anvway
for
the
tima

Never-

speculation
eontinues
busy,
on
the assumption
that
an
election
is
Im-
pending
and the expectation
grows
that
Parliament
will
be
dissolved
very
soon
after
its first meeting
next Tuesdav
and
that
an elaction
wiil be fixed for
D2cem-
ber.
Some
of the
best
informed
politi-
cal writers,
who
hitherto
have
scouted
reports
of
a
December
election,
abun-
doned
that
view today and
<ay
that
the
section
of the Conservative
Party wshing
the appezl
to be
deferred
until
Jauary
has
been
overruled
and
that
a
‘‘snap”’
¢lection,
which will be
held
almost
iwi-

has
been
decided
upon.
London,
Nov.
11th.—A
coparatively
new Premier
is
believed
seldom
tc bave
been
calied
upon
to
meet
such
an
em-
barrassing
and confusing
set
of circum-
stances
as
Mr.
Sianley
Baldwin
wili be
called
upen
to
face
wher
Parliament,
which
was
only
elected
about
a
year
aygo, reassembles
next
week,
Neither
with
nor witnout
the Premier’s
wish
the
country
has
been
firmly
imbued
with
the idea
that
Parliament
will
meet ounly
{0 be immediately
dissolved,
but
it
be-
gins
to appear
to
be
exceedingly
doubt-
tul whether
this
course
will be followed.
When
only
a
few weeks
ago Mr. Bald-
win announced
his
conviction
that
pro-
tection
was
the
only
remedy
for
unem-
ployment,
it
is
doubtful
whether
he
really
contemplated
bringing
the
ques-
tion up
to the test
of a
zeneral
election
so speedily
and
he certainly
cannot
have
foreseen
such
a grave state
of
affairs
as
now
has
arisen
out
of
th
veparations
imbroglio,
with apparently
no
hove
of
a
reparation
conference
in
which
the
Upited States
will participate
and
with
Germany
in
a
condition
whers
nobody
dares
prelict
what
the
next
move
wiil
be.
What
seems
reaily
to have
happen-
ed is that
Mr. Baldwin’s
hand
bas
baen
torced py the sturdy
proteetionist
ol
his
party and
by
the
presence
here
of Mr.
Bruce
of
Australia
and
the
Don:irion
Premiers
pressing
for a tari'l.
London,
Nov. 11th.—Under

ine
of

appears
the
iollowing:
‘lt was while the

that
the
