OTTAWA,
June
30
(CP)
Behind
the
Imposing
front
of
the
National
government
British
politics
revolve
in
a
whirlpool
of
uncertainty.
It
is
not
merely
uncertainty
as
to
which
party
will
hold
office-after
an
election,
but
uncertainty
as
to
which
parties
will
contend
for

mm
had
an
election
for
seven
years
but
it
is
freely
predicted
one
will
come
regardless
of
whether
the
war
ends.
One
member
of
parliament
put
it
this
way:
"If
the
Second
Front
succeeds
and
the
war
ends
the
government
will
be
on
top
of
the
world
and
will
hold
an
election
and
probably
win.
If
the
Second
Front
falls
the
government
Is
finished
and
there
will
have
to
i
be
an
election."
The
government
is
composed
:of
Conservatives,
Laborltcs
and
Liberals.
