Jan. 19—(O.P) —War fr. Europe ran second to the con- flict between Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King and his erstwhile supporter.

On all sides was heard specula- tion as to the probable effect of Mr. Hepburniiwpersonal attack up- on Prime inister Mackenzie King. and his alliance with the Ontario Conservative opposition in putting through the Legislature a motion censuring the Dominion Government. It ls expected House of Com- mons Liberals, at the first caucus held after Parliament opens next Thursday. or possibly before. will consider the potentialities of this new situation in view o! the fact a general election is in tile offing. Mr. Hepburn! quarrel with the Prime Minister is so long-standing. except for the brief Arnfstice in the first months of the war. that political observers have become sc- customed to .t. But with Mr. Hepburn uniting with his political opponent. Con- servatlve Leader George. Drew, in an attack upon the Dominion Ad- ministration. the situation takes on new importance. For several years Mr. Hepburn has spoken bitterly in public in his personal condemnation of the Prime Minister and Mr. Mackenzie King has always adopted the “soft answer" attitude, But now liir. Hepburn has spoken such strong denunciation of the Prime Minister that it would seem to observers in the Capital another reconciliation i.s too much to expect.

' High Chinese sources in Hong Kong said their successes were ach- ieved only by great casualties num- bering between 15.000 and 20.000 Chinese troops. They said e "mod- erate estimate" of Japanese losses would be about 5.000 men.
