11 El C0I5EME ACTION
FORCES PREMIER'S HAND
London, Oct. 19. —Lloyd George,
tlie premier of England, who has
held the reins of government of that
empire for one of the most trying
periods in British history, resign
ed the governmeul this afternoon.
His resignation came as the result
of a Unionist caucus meeting at
which it was voted 186 to 87 in favor
of appealing to the country at a gen
oral election. A united conserva
tive party vote carries with it the
party's, announcement of intention to
have a conservative premier if suc
cessful at the polls; this amounts
to a repudiation of the coalition and
of Lloyd George, unless the Prime
Minister would announce himself
definitely as a conservative. While
he has been the head of the coali
tion government, Lloyd George has
been .a liberal.

Poincare has opened the way for tie
renewal of relations with the Soviet
government and that the pact will
soou be made. Poincare has hereto
fore been bitterly opposed to such
an arrangement for the past two
years. The messages do not state
what has caused the Premier to
change his position in the matter.
