Although Premier Baldwin has been the goat, the man who has brought British constitutional difficulties to a head, the coming of the crisis was only a matter of time. Since the break-down of Lloyd George's coalition government, the Conservatives and Liberals have been rocking more and more nearly to a balance; and with every rock the Labor party has stepped in from the outside and carried away an increasing number of split vote elections.
