"guillotine" rule--providing for the setting of dates for discussion of different stages of a measure, for applying the closure and for taking a division--if the face of the bitterest opposition ranks can organize. PARTIES MAY FALTER IN SUPPORTING COALITION There may be some opposition from the government's own supporters, for although the general principles of the economy proposals find favor among the liberals and conservatives, each party has its traditional policies. The liberals are not likely to welcome educational reductions and many conservatives are expected to obJect to heavier direct taxes, It may be possible to force the two principal bills through net, parlament in a month, but generally expected the emergency government will last at least until Christmas and perhaps may hang on until it can engineer a budget which would avoid any possible deficit in the fiscal year 1932-33. Another proposal which is not taken very seriously would turn the national government into a real dictatorship, Under this scheme the cabinet would ask parliament for wide powers to effect economies by orders in council which would not require parliamentary ratification. This method, while it might be possible as last resort it the labor opposition should assume unexpected strength, would be unpopular with the leaders of all parties and only the most urgent national crisis would be likely to cause the cabinet to employ it.

Labor's Defection May Defeat New Cabinet LONDON, Aug, 26. (AP) Focusing its attention on the Joint meeting of the leaders of the parNamentary Labor party, the Trades (Union Congress and the IndependUnit Labor party, the nation realIzed today the magnitude of the opposition that the emergency government must face in pushing its economy measures through parlament. Though the cabinet of ten minincludes Prime Minister MacDonald and Chancellor Snowden, it was apparent that the united weight of almost the entire Labor party and trade unionism would be cast solidly against the government in its efforts to balance the nation's books. On the basis of the belief that not more than a dozen labor members of parliament outside the cabInet members themselves would support the regime in the commons there was speculation as to whether it could even be sure of a majority. The vote of the combined Conservative and Liberal parties would be sufficient to keep the government in power, but it is felt certain that a number of Liborals will join with the Laborites in opposition to a cut in the dole.

MacDONALD REALIZES EXPULSION IS LIKELY. All three parties will hold meetInge Friday and it is believed that the Laborites will complete the severance from the party of MacDonald and his recalcitrant ministers- it it has not been done already, He is said to have no illusions about his position and to realize that by cutting himself adrift from his old associates and the bulk of the party he has ended his political career. Delivering what was believed to be his swan song. MacDonald explained in a country- wide broadcast last night the circumstances that led to the downfall of his Socialist ministry and appealed to the people to go the last mile with the government in balancing the budset. "I have changed none of my beHets and none of my ideals," he said.

"It is true that I have no Labor credentials for what I am doing, although I am certain that in the interests of the working classes I ought to have them. I have the credentials of even higher authority. My credentials are those of national duty 8.8 I concelve it, and I obey them Irrespective of the consequences.
