London, April Tth.— What
the
Labour.
.
ite
gpress
describaes
as
a ‘‘political
crisis
.
of first class
imporiance’’
has
arisen
ont
.
of
the
Government's
determination
to
.
protect
unemploved
tennants
from
evie-
|
tion.
A special
cabinet
meeting
was
con-
-
vened
last night
to consider
the
course
to
.
be adop ed
wh
n the adjourned
debate
on
'
the evietions
billis resumed
in the
Honse
'
of Commons
today.
The Premier
shorten-
ed
his
weekend
vacation
at
Chequers’
i
Court
to
attend
the
meeiing
and
the
'
Health
Minister,
Mr. Wheatley,
cancelled
.
a speaking
engagement
at Glasgow
and
.
hastened
to London
to
participate.
Ad-
|
journment until
this morning
was
taken
|
after
prolonged
discussion,
which
1s
|
taken
toindicate
that
the
Govirnment
|
has
not
yet
decided
to
deal
with
the
|
situation.
The political reporters
agree
.
that
the
Government
has
already
re
|
solved that
some
means
must
be adopt«d
'
toenable the unemployed
personz
toretzin
'
possession
of their
homes
whether
they
|
pay
rent
or not,
but indecision
and
even
.
disagreemant
is said
to exist
on how
this
.
is to
be managed.
According
to one
ac-
.
count,
Mr.
Wteatley
insertrd
in
the
~
evictions
bill, oy
uis
own
ini.d.dive,
the
clause
to which
the Opposttion
objected,
acling
on
this occasion
as
he
did
before
with
regurd
to
the
poor relief in
pop'ar,
which action
set
the Cabinet
at
variance,
He

wing of the
Labourites.
but
it is
asserted
that
the
iwore
moderate
members
of the
Govern®
ment
are
not prepared
to endorse
his
ze-
tion.
When
the
debate
was
adjourned
it was
understood
that
the
Government
proposed
1o put
the
onus
of finding
the
rent
money
upon
the
poor law
auihori-
ties,
who in tnrn
looked
to the
Govein-
ment for the
reimbursement.
Thus
tax-
payers
would
be
responsible
for
the
housing
of
the
unemployed.
i
this
proves
to be
the Minister’s plan, it seems
certain
that
they
wiul
be
defeated
in
the
Commons,
although
it
is
not
sup-
posed
they
would
regard
this as
reason
tor resigning
office.
