ernment will be coallUon. like the old one
bul probably without the samo measure or
harmonious siipi-ort which attended the for-
mation of Uie first coalition government
because I ta birth has created additional fac-
tional differences
This result has emerged from somber day
of artlve and hurried party conferences and
a day of intenae suspense and Interest

It Is many years since a British ruler as-
sembled t)m represenuitlvea or the different
factions race to race when they had shown
themselves unable to settle their differ-
ences. Rut no such serious crisis has be
