Ministry Paces Test. London, Feb. 15. Matters of Brent import were forecast to be considered when parliament re assembled here today after a recess of seven weeks. Opposition to the Lloyd-George ministry and discon tent with many of the policies it lias pursued in the recent past, seemed to have reached a climax and it appeared the stability of the cabinet would be Riven its crucial test before the final adjournment of the session next summer. Attacks on the government seemed certain to center about lie land, the conditions prevailing in that islnnd and the plant of the premier for the future government of the Irish people. Former sup porters of the coalition government were among those who were most bitter in their comment on the Irish situation and appeared to be united with the opposition. The domestic situation, centering about condi tions of unemployment and high taxes, brought new elements to tint side of those opposing Mr. Lloyd George, while the policies the pre mier adopted relative to trade with Russia and acceptance of a British mandate for Mesopotamia seem ingly went far toward disintegrat ing the apparently overwhelming majority held by the premier in the house of commons. Collapse of the Lloyd George re gime was not forecast as it was foreseen he probably would be able to control enough votes in com mons to carry through his minis try's plans. u I nnnAUAMIIM " ftVIt ,r-s rz a r- bi a w n a e s a u I - tt jf w ,-e a-.
