his first speech in lowa Thursday

Mr. Dawes on entering lowa here

to Republican National Chairman

interpreted as referring to Senutor
Brookhart. ,
The nominee warned against the

against the federal constitution and

Foreast Probability of Eariy
Election
CRISIS IN AFFAIRS
CAME LAST EVENING
Notice Given in Parliament
of Motions Against
the Government
LONDON.—TaIk has again
arisen of the “imminent fall of
the labor government” and the
probability of a general elec
tion before Christmas. Similar
expectations raised more than
once since the laborites assum
ed office, but this time the
cast Is declared to be the real
thing.
The crisis—for so It la re
garded on all sides—came sud
denly Wednesday night yrhen
notice was given In parliament
of two motions against the gov
ernment. One against the con
servative censures the govern
ment's conduct In reference to
the abandonment of criminal
proceedings against James Ross
Campbell, managing editor of
the Workers Weekly, a com
munist publication.
ANGLO-RUSSIAN
TREATY OPPOSED.
The other by the liberals voices
disapproval of the Anglo-ltusslan
treaty, which, according to the
wording of the motion “Instead of
providing a genuine contribution
toward dissolving the problem of
unemployment, threatens to divert
resources which are urgently need
ed for rational and imperial devel
opment and contemplates that the
British taxpayer should be made
liable now for further loans to the
Russian state, raised by means of
a guarantee of the British govern
ment as the condition upon the pri
vate claims of certain British cred
itors should be recognized or met
by the soviet republic.”
It had been recently understood
that the liberals were m-epared to
support a motion condemning the
attorney general, Patrick Hastings,
for mishandling the Campbell case,
but doubted whether to support It
If it failed the whole government.
It had been Intimated, however,
that Premier Macdonald was deter
mined to stand by the attorney gen
eral and that If the latter were cen
sured the premier would not allow
him to resign while the rest of the
government continued In office, but
would retire with him.
It Is Inconceivable that the con
servatives will abstain from sup
porting a motion directly aimed at
defeating the Russian treaty and
the government Is regarded as cer
tain to be out voted by a big ma
jority. The treaty, howevei*; will
not come up Tor discussion for
nearly another month, so the gov
ernment Is certain of that lease of
life If not defeated meantime on the
Campbell matter.
The Dally Herald, laborlte organ,
says the premier will appeal to the
country If defeated on either issue.
The paper speaks as though the
labor party would welcome an op
portunity to test its strength at the
polls. ___________________
