March 8 _ (dc) - The pariamsntary correspondent of Press Association tonight report- ed that the nine Liberals in the House of Commons have decided to vote against the Labor Govern- ment tomorrow. Tomorrow the House will vote on the Conservative amendments to the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne — tantamount to a vote oi confidence. Labor could survive. however, by bringing out its full force: in the House of Commons, where it. has a. slim seven-seat majority over all other parties. The issue is the amendment tab- led by Winston Churchill "tegret- tins" that no mention was made of the steel nationalization act. which is still to b<. put in effect. in the Throne Speech opening Parliament March 6. The act was passed in the last Parliament. but has not yet taken effect. With the Liberals backing Cox.- servatives the government will be faced with full Opposition strength, making any Labor absences from the House dangerous. Reliable sources quoted by Reu- ters News Agency sald tonight that the government will resign if de- feated. If the government resigns. another election would be forced immediately. The Liberal decision came as II. surprise after criticism yesterdgy of the Conservative amendment by party leader Clement Davies. He told the Commons then thin the Liberals saw "no good pur- l>ose" in bringing up the issue at this time.
