The debate in the House of 'Commons on the White Paper on Defence, has served two ́ useful
purposes.

It has exposed mental confusion to the Labour case and it has provided construc- tive critics with an opportunity to contribute ideas and to question this point or that in a hastily complied but generally well- conceived programme. The Labour speakers were shrill and, uncon vincing.
Apart from the intelli- gible but visionary pacifism Mr. Lansbury, no Labour speaker was able to hide the party's failure to escape from their ultimate dilemma, They stand by the League of Nations and for s system of collective security with sanctions (which they are pre- pared to push if necessary, to the point of war) as a weapon. They accept, that is to say, the threat and the fact of force.
Yet with Europe's war budgets before them they profess to find the long de layed British White Paper as
wanton provocation. The Labour attitude, never convincing, touch- ed low water with Mr. Greenwood, high-minded who followed up a
ples for the sincerity of Herr Hitler's statement with an embit- tered attack on the sincerity of the British Government. It is that the Impossible to belleve Labour Opposition as a whole ap- proved this tawdry approach to a plea. for "peace and fellowship." INDIVIDUAL "CONTRIBUTIONS
