London, Nov. 2nd.—There have been no further developments in a recent quar- rel between Mr. Lloyd George and Sir George Younger and political circles are agog to learn the upshot of the strange situation, ecuriosity being increased by the fact that Mr. Lloyd George, alone of all the party leaders, has not as yet is- sued an election address. lLord Balfour spoke at Edinburgh last night and it was hoped that he might throw some light on the situation. He took the line that the Conservatives and the National Liberals were menaced by a common danger, and asked whether their forces were so over- whelming that they could afford to di- vide them in a manner that the merest tyro in politics would declare them in- sane. When there was such an advan tage in all parties working together,he de- clare that itiseemed sheer lunacy to throw away an opportunity for cooperation, so fruitful in the past, by a hazardous ex- periment, which was both unjustifiable by argument and defenceless at the kbkar of reason. As lar as he was able to judge, he said, the labour party would make themselves felt at the coming elec- tions and :if they came into power he thouzhtit would be disastrous to the country and that those, who would im- mediately and profoundly suffer, would be the wage earning ciass. &
