The forecasts repeatedly made in the London cor respondence of the Daily Record in regard to the imminence of a General Election are, it appears, likely to find startling confirmation. The telegrams we have published during the last day or two have bten significant in the extreme. To Balmoral have been summoned Lord Rosebery, the Earl of Cawdor, and the Prime Minister, and now—ignoring the semi official denial—Lord Lansdowne, all of them men in timately concerned in the grave Constitutional crisis which has indirectly been brought about by Mr. Llovd George s disputatious financial proposals. These suc cessive audiences can have only one meaning,--namely, that the monarch, for the first time in a generation, is endeavouring personally to conciliate conflicting parlies for the ultimate good of the State. Bearing in mind the brilliant series of diplomatic triumphs in the cause of peace for w'hich King Edward has been responsible, it is not too much to hope that his ex treme tact and genius for smoothing over difficulties will find a neutral path along which the warring factions may wealk in mutual amity,—for a time. That the conflict is very serious is distinctly proved by the commendable interference of the King. But the rootj of the trouble are too deep for superficial pi uning. The Liberal party, driven to bay in spite of its unwieldy majority, still retains enough talent for strategy to force on an appeal to the country at a moment when a splendid battle-cry presents itself: ‘•Lords or People?” “Are the Constitutional liberties for which your forefathers fought and bled In be rough!v trampled into the dust by an hereditary Chamber?” “Shall the nation revert to government by an oligarchy; must it tolerate tyrannical dicta tion from a small minority of sel l di nincompoops An appeal such as this would eclipse the infamous “ -hinese Slavery” libels in popularity among a large sedion of the voters. For the good name of Eng lish politics we sincerely hope that it will not be pe» milted to submerge the real factors in the cou- Itst. If, as we are compelled to assume; the Go vernment's social, financial, and national-defence legis lation has exceeded its mandate and imperilled the highest interests of the State, then Great Britain at this very moment is administered bv an oligarchy quite as oppressive and infinitely more humiliating than the rule of the Peers. The House of Lord; must always, to a certain extent, be restrained bv dignity and weighty tradition, whereas, given favour able conditions, untrammelled demagogy may thrive and flourish in the Commons. If the country is to choose between the absolutism of a Lansdowne or a Llovd George, administration by a Cawdor or a Winston Churchill, there is little doubt as to which way the electoral cat will jump. Granting that the General Election is a matter of days or months, it is hard to discover a capable leader for the Unionist party in the event of its return to power. Mr. Balfour, polished debater and experienced parliamentarian as he is, lacks the virile enthusiasm of the younger generation and is popularly supposed to be a man without strong convictions Among his adherents there may well be more than one budding leader whom the psychological moment will bring to the front, but up to the present we must confess our inability to find any indications of such a prospective Unionist giant. The hour appears for once to be in advance of the man. THE AUDIENCES AT BALMORAL. The Press Association reports as follows on the latest developments in the English political crisis The Prime Minister arrived at Balmoral on Wednes day morning in obedience to the summons of the King. The right hon. gentleman left King’s-cross at eight o’clock on Tuesday night, and travelled by the East Coast route to Ballater, driving thence to Bal moral. The Premier travelled under the name of Mr. Herbert. He breakfasted in the station refresh ment room at Aberdeen, where he arrived at 7.22 a.m. He was accompanied by his valet and attended by two London detectives. Mr. Asquith’s sudden call to Balmoral has created some excitement among politicians, and speculation was rife in the Lobb-y as to the actual significance ® Trade Mark.

There was, however, general agree ment that the Premier’s journey was connected with the present political crisis created by the Budget. It is significant that it follows visit's paid to "the King by the Earl of Rosebery and Earl Cawdor. The Prime Minister’s visit to the King can hardh be regarded as a sudden one, seeing that an in timation was given as far back as Friday night to the various members of the Cabinet that* the usual weekly meeting would be held on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. That the visit is one of considerable im portance however, is evident from the fact that, were this not the case, the audience would probably haw been deferred until Tuesday in next week, when the King will have returned to London. The first hint received by members was given in Mr. Redmond’s speech, in moving his amendment in the Commons' on Tuesday night. The Irish lead-r mentioned that he was aware the Prime Minister de- s'red to speak early, as he had other engagements, ft was suggested in the Lobby that such a comp-- j- mise on the Finance Bill might be reached as would enable the House of Lords to accept the Budget and allow the course of political events to proceed without the interruption of a General Election. If an agreement could be arrived at between the par ties this end could be achieved by amendments to the Finance Bill on the report stage, to be entered upon possibly next week in the House of Commons. It is doubtful, however, whether both Ministerialists and Unionists are not too strongly committed to their respective positions to allow such an arrangement to be made, the differences between the parties not being such as to be capable of adjustment by compromise. NEWS OF THE WORLD. _ _ We regret that pressure on our space in this issue compels us to hold over our usual Paris article until Tuesday. In the House of Commons on Thursday, Mr. Dilion enquired of the Government whether they had given to Spain any assurance respecting that country’s opera tions in Morocco, whether it was to be taken a fact that Spain contemplated an occupation of Tetuan or of another important section of Moorish terri tory, and whether it was true the British Government had communicated to Spain the attitude likely to be adopted in such an eventuality. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. McKinnon Wood, replied that the answer to all three questions must be in a negative sense. Upon Mr. Dillon’s en quiring as to whether the House would be consulted before the Government took any steps towards sanc tioning an extension of the Spanish operations in Mi >rocco, Mr. McKinnon Wood answered: “We have no‘knowledge of an intention on the part of Spain which is contrary to her treaty obligations, or which can in any way clash with the interests of Great Britain.” Several of the Parisian newspapers yesterday ex pressed their disapproval at the statements attributed to General d’Amade in regard to the Spanish opera tions in the Riff, and reproduced in yesterday’s Daily Record. The Tempts remarks that these statements can only be read with feelings of astonishment and regret. General d’Amade proves his complete ignorance of the Franco-Spanish Moroccan agreements concluded in 1004 and 1905. Up to the present Spain has in no way gone beyond her rights. If General d’Amade demands that France should intervene without de lay, the following question would naturally arise: Where, how, and against whom? Against Spain or against Mulai Hafid? France and the French people preferred to act upon specific advice, and under these circumstances the interference of General d’Amade was utterly objectless and regrettable. A Paris telegram to hand yesterday stated that the War Minister had requested General d’Amade. who is at present staying at Montauban on leave, to give explanations of the declarations he made to the Matin regarding the Spanish operations in Morocco. The New York Herald yesterday published an in terview with M. Pichon, French Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which the Minister said that the d’Amade incident would soon be settled. If it was confirmed that the general had actually made the statements attributed to him, he would be severely punished. Spain had rigidly respected treaty obligations, and France viewed her Moroccan operations with perfect complacence. A Melilla telegram states that the searchlight on the lighthouse of Lancello on Wednesday evening re vealed several detachments of Moors belonging to the Beni Sitar army hiding in the bushes. As soon as they were detected, they opened a heavy fire against the outposts of Melilla. The Spaniards returned the fire and sent out a company to attack the enemy. The fight lasted one and a half hours, while all through the night a desultory fire was maintained. According to cablegrams from America, there ap pears to be a likelihood of the excellent relations at present prevailing between the United States and Japan being disturbed in consequence of the agree ment Recently concluded between the latter country and China. The London Morning Post of yesterd iv published the following cable message from Wash ington: “There is hardly a doubt that the recall of Mr. Ciane, the American Minister at Pekin, to Wash ington to receive fresh instructions is due to the Chino- Japunesc Manchurian agreement signed on Septem ber 4 at Pekin. In State Department circles it is affirmed that strong protests will be raised against articles 3 ;a,nd 4 of the Agreement, according to which ail mines along the Antung-Mukden Railway and the main line of the South Manchurian railway, with the exception of the collieries of Fushun and Yuentai, will be operated as mutual Chino-Japanese undertakings; while Fushun and Yuentai will be work ed exclusively by the Japanese, a certain share of the profits being paid over to China as compensation. The American State Department looks upon this con cession as a direct infringement of the ‘open door’ promises, since Japan thereby receives mining privi leges from which every other Power is excluded.” I he Ottawa (Canada) Free Press stated v a ster- day that it was authorised by the Dominion Govern ment to announce that in the next session +he Ca nadian Parliament will be asked to grant the sum of 20 million dollars for the creation of a Canadian Navy, and a further annual sum of three millions for the development and maintenance of this force. If these demands aire acceded to, as appears extremely probable, Canada will soon be in possession of a formidable naval force. Australia; at the present mo- men1, is building several torpedo craft and cruisers, the contracts for whidh were placed with British yards New Zealand is also to undertake the build ing of one or» more powerful armoured cruisers. It is thus evident that the nucleus of an Imperial Co lonial Fleet is rapidly taking shape. The North German Lloyd has concluded an arrange ment with Sir John B. Ellerman, Bart., owner of the Ellerman Lines of Steamers, City and Hall Lin^s, whereby a new co-operative system of transit be tween Europe and India is to be established. From now on both lines will issue through tickets to India at reduced rates. On one side passengers may em bark on Lloyd steamers from Bremen, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Gibraltar, Algiers, Genoa, or Naples for Port Said and Suez, or from Marseilles or Naples to Alexandria; and on the other hand, may continue the journey from Port Said or Suez to Bom bay, Karachi, Colombo, Madras, and Calcutta by the Flllerman boats, and vice-versa. Return tickets, al lowing an interruption of the journey and overland transit across Egypt, are valid for two years.
